Wholesale services

Residential access and network infrastructure for Canadian ISPs.

AS30265 provides the wholesale infrastructure that Canadian ISPs need to deliver residential Internet service. We manage the ILEC wholesale agreement, NNI infrastructure, subscriber sessions, and network transport. Our wholesale services are priced per subscriber with no fixed wholesale charges. Separate costs for IDC facilities, IP transit, and other infrastructure depend on the integration you choose.

What a wholesale aggregator does

AS30265 holds the aggregated wholesale HSA agreement with the ILEC. We operate the NNI where subscriber sessions are delivered, terminate those sessions on our LNS, and provide transport between the AHSSPI and the LNS. Partners use this operational infrastructure to deliver service to their subscribers.

Our services include subscriber authentication, session management, IPv6 addressing, IP transit, and access to the Subscriber Portal. We also supply CPE that can carry your brand and provide consulting for organisations developing their own ISP infrastructure. Choose the services that match your operational requirements.

See the wholesale and partnership FAQ for details about integration, pricing, and availability.

How aggregated wholesale HSA works

In the aggregated wholesale High Speed Access (HSA) model mandated by the CRTC, the ILEC carries traffic from the subscriber premises to a Network to Network Interface (NNI). The subscriber router initiates a PPPoE session. The ILEC carries it to an L2TP Access Concentrator (LAC), which encapsulates the session in L2TP and transports it across the ILEC network. The L2TP Network Server (LNS) then terminates the session, assigns IP addressing, and routes subscriber traffic.

The ILEC operates the access network from the subscriber ONT through the OLT, LAC, and aggregation backbone. AS30265 receives the sessions at the NNI, terminates L2TP on the LNS, assigns addressing, and routes traffic through the core network.

Transport connects the Aggregated HSA Service Point of Interconnection (AHSSPI) to the ISP LNS. An ISP can colocate equipment at the AHSSPI or purchase transport to its LNS. AS30265 operates transport infrastructure across this segment and makes it available to wholesale partners.

Integration options

Choose the integration that matches the infrastructure your organisation operates. Options A and B are available now. Options C and D remain subject to the outcome of regulatory proceedings concerning ILEC wholesale access obligations.

Option A Resale

Offer AS30265 Residential Connectivity under your own brand, either as a standalone service or alongside your existing products. Your organisation manages sales, billing, and subscriber relationships. AS30265 operates the ILEC wholesale agreement, NNI, LNS, routing, and IP transit.

Subscribers must be informed that AS30265 provides the Internet service. The responsibilities of each organisation are defined by the resale arrangement.

Option B Routed traffic handoff

AS30265 receives subscriber sessions through the NNI and terminates them on our LNS. We then deliver routed IP traffic to your network, so you can operate without your own NNI or LNS. You can use your existing IP transit provider or purchase IP transit from AS30265.

Your organisation controls subscriber IP addressing, routing policies, and traffic engineering. AS30265 manages the ILEC wholesale agreement and aggregation infrastructure.

Option C Your own LNS

Operate your own LNS to manage L2TP session termination, subscriber authentication, and IP addressing. AS30265 supplies the ILEC wholesale agreement, NNI, and transport from the AHSSPI to your LNS. Wholesale charges are based on subscriber count.

LNS equipment can be colocated at our PoPs under IDC Connectivity. Initial availability is planned for Toronto, subject to regulatory proceedings.

Pending regulatory proceedings

Option D Transport

Establish your own wholesale HSA agreement with the ILEC and operate your own subscriber services. AS30265 provides transport between the AHSSPI and your LNS, with charges based on subscriber count.

We provide consulting for the regulatory filings, ILEC negotiations, and infrastructure deployment involved in this arrangement. Initial availability is planned for Toronto and St. John's, Newfoundland, subject to regulatory proceedings.
