$1,251 for a 100Mbps connection between the Rogers network and the TPIA ISP's network. A 1Gbps link is the same thing, just faster.

So while Rogers charges $22.69 for 150Mbps between the POI and the user, they charge $1,251 for 100Mbps between the POI and the TPIA ISP.

For those of us who know nothing about this stuff, what would be a reasonable rate for Rogers and other big players to charge for a 100mbps link?

Whatever the market would bare assuming a competitive market. Since the market is not at all competitive then its whatever the regulators believe may be fair rates assuming the regulators are not political cronies etc.

In a communist country the state determines the rates
In a socialistic country the state determines the rates
In Canada its the state + the duopoly that determines the rate.
In a Capitalistic county the market determines the rate assuming that its a true capitalistic environment.
