Slingshot, owned by 2degrees who in turn is owned by Voyage Australia Pty Limited, and they are owned by Vocus Group Ltd (formerly Vocus communications) who is owned by a consortium of Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets (MIRA) Australia. The latter an Australian Infrastructure Investment Group.
I believe they also piggy back Amazon Networks infrastructure as well.
So, comparing 2degrees with Slingshot seems to result in the same bad customer service reviews and somet

I.e. Packet loss and lower speeds than advertised.
When connecting to many Australian businesses I had found a lot of connections also seem to be getting re-routed overseas to America before coming back to the Australian company and then onto NZ.
A result of their contracts that they have secured within other countries for connections perhaps? The business connection with Amazon Networks?
So I guess the above mentioned ownership probably explains why the two companies have similar performances and bad reviews. They are owned by the same parent company. :-/
