Why do you have Europe twice, and what are you trying to get at here lol, other than proving my point?
Also actual distance is not how the submarine cabling (https://www.submarinecablemap.com/) is set up, nor how routing works.

New York to Los Angeles:2,789.3 mi
New York to Berlin: 3,965 mi
New York to Tokyo: 6,736 mi
New York to Sydney: 9,929 mi

Auckland to Sydney: 1,339.90 mi
Auckland to Tokyo: 5487.95 mi
Auckland to Los Angeles: 6518 mi
Auckland to Berlin: 11021 mi

Thus leads to my point: don't think your experience warrants that everyone's experience must be exactly like yours, and must be ignored.
