. There's measurable latency difference telus / shaw, but I'd suggest it's almost negligible, at least for gaming purposes.
From my telus 150 fiber connection, directly from a pfsense host connected to the ONT, I get ~17ms, and through a commodity wifi router behind that, 18.3ms to 8.8.8.8.
From my wifi docsis gateway on Shaw Internet 150 I get ~26ms to 8.8.8.8.
As the 30-something guy getting absolutely smoked by teens in FPS games, I know it's not the 8ms of latency that's making the difference.
Don't take it from me though, your tax dollars funded a very comprehensive study on the subject with real data from Canadian homes:
