Heh heh, they CityLink boys are noticeably quiet, probably don't want to be accused of blowing their own trumpets :)
This page: http://www.citylink.co.nz/services/broadband/product-specs.html suggests that the monthly cost of at least the "PublicLAN" cost is a bit higher than $150/month.
Dredging the muddier sections of my memory, I do recall that the original price (circa 1996-97) for a dark fibre pair around the city was $195/month. You paid a hefty install, but the ongoing wasn't particularly onerous, especially if you plied certain staff with beer. So the article wasn't so much inaccurate as way out of date. Not suprisingly, our recent pricing is intended to be attractive to organisations other than just those with enormous capex budgets. With my occasional-list-admin hat on, this is getting somewhat off topic, we should probably close this thread here. Cheers Si
