That's for 250Mb/s service from Rogers, so it's better than you can negotiate at retail but it's not totally out of line (I've heard of people getting the 250Mb/s plan for $35/month retail, and I currently pay $50/month to Rogers for 1000Mb/s).

Rogers and Bell are getting aggressive in signing up full buildings for Internet, and it makes sense as they expect to sell a lot of added services once they have the connection to your unit: it'll be much easier for you to sign up for Rogers TV etc rather than Bell.

Our building offers Cloud Wifi but it's owner option since it was not from Day One. And I personally only pay for symmetrical 100 Mb/s as I don't really see much difference beyond that. And the Wifi speeds are far lower in a condo building anyway, LTE beats Wifi nine times out of ten.
