Sucks how some apartment buildings have exclusive providers, means you get screwed on the pricing like in this case. Building owner probably gets some kickbacks.
They aren't entirely exclusive, they just have a better offering than others in that location. Presumably some sort of private connection to the building where as everyone else has to use Chorus.
But Fibre is available and is going to be connected to the building next year. Might still be copper to the individual apartments though ..
It's what people would do to offer decent internet when there was no UFB. It's probably been in the building for a long time, and maybe even fed by Citylink fibre -- there was a building in Courtenay Place like this that a friend lived in for a while.

This is SoHo apartments in Taranaki St. It's a construction site on google maps. I think it opened in 2010.
Its simply done by metering at the ISP's international border gateway rather than at the core or on your PPP session
Yeah I haven't used a plan like this in a long time, but it's what it was always like IIRC. Note that this also means it doesn't matter if your connection to a local IP. If it's going across the international gateway for some reason, it's charged as international. This used to be a problem in the bad days of peering fights, although I believe those are largely over.
