Webpage test now in New Zealand
The RPO team have released the AOL Webpagetest for New Zealand. Finally, we have a local content test frame work for testing the speed of a page.
Webpage Test is Awesome as it creates pageload waterfalls and average load times over a number of test iterations.
No there is no excuse for slow pages. Get to work NZ, we have a lot of internet to speed up !

When you use the page test, try comparing the load-time of the same webpage from New Zealand vs the USA. This shows you the effect of network latency and why a good YSlow score is an important quality indicator:
