Monthly Transmission Prices
All Metrolink Service circuits incur a transmission charge which covers the costs of the link between the terminal centres to which the customer’s circuit ends connect.
The City Step transmission charge is applicable when a circuit is completely within the metropolitan borders of Auckland, Hamilton, Palmerston North, Wellington, and Christchurch. The Director of Sales in each ROC will determine what constitutes the metropolitan borders of each of these areas, but the intention is for a City Step to cover only what can be regarded as a continuous urban area. Circuits completely within the urban areas of other centres will usually be charged the Step A rate; but they may be determined as metropolitan by the local Director of Sales, subject to the agreement of the Telecom Pricing Manager.
