Telus fibre is great. And inexpensive.

Had a surveyor running around the street today… asked him what’s up, finally getting fibre over here! Currently on shaw… is it worth switching for those on Telus? We gave Telus copper a try, it sucked

Haha, you are probably a year or so away from actually being able to get it.

They ran the fibre in my new neighborhood starting in June of 2021 and finished around October. There are guys just now lighting it up and TELUS finally said the new house can get service.

Just renewed mine.
We were already switched to XGS PON last summer as part of Employee trial. However I removed the employee account because it is a better pricing when the account is not employee account.
Gigabit Internet + TV with 7 theme packs and Netflix + Home Phone (to have the 3P discount) $140.07 + Tax
They are also switching the Modem to the new Wifi-Hub

Apparently we have about 18 months left with shaw… so might just work out!

FTTH for life! I have been on fiber for a LONG time now, I don't remember exactly, but I think about 7-8 years now, during this whole time I don't even recall a single outage. For me it's great for working from home as I deal with large files ect, having gigabit upload speed is pretty damn sweet. For most people it won't really matter, but I am fiber for life (until I move to middle of nowhere and go back to dialup or LTE haha)

Aspen’s had ftth since the 18th century.

Ftth is excellent. Plus, in areas where Telus provides Ftth, Shaw will provide excellent competitive discounts.
Both are very good. Make sure you are getting a good deal.
