CityLink Limited is a telecommunications company based in Wellington, New Zealand. It operates a network of fibre optic cabling around the CBDs of Wellington and Auckland, and has a network of Wi-Fi hotspots around Wellington. It also operates ExchangeNET, a nationwide network of peering exchange points, and a content distribution network.[1]

The company was formed as an initiative of the Wellington City Council in 1995, and started with a fibre-optic network in the Wellington CBD in 1996, run along the overhead network used for the city trolley buses (although the main power and telephone lines in the CBD were underground). The company is now part of the TeamTalk Group.[1]

As of 30 April 2019, CityLink and TeamTalk came together under one brand, Vital Limited.
