I would hope to get that type of rate and have it handed to me via
ethernet. I have had many setup fees waived for myself and my clients
the last few years. I would hope to get the same treatment on a 100mps feed.

Anyway, that cuts the cost per 64k to $1.875 a month. Of course there
will be people who insist on ulaw over sip or untrunked iax2. I always
find it amazing that people would expect to get reliability and quality
at $2.50 a month per channel.
