That would be nice. I recently checked out Bell Fibre in Canada. Upto 175Mbps and similar awesome tv package. Only available in certain n eighbourhoods it Toronto atm though. It will probably be multiple decades before fibre reaches our town of 11k. Checking for our area only comes up with upto 5mbps availability and 65gb download cap.
Cable it is until then at 10mbps with a shitty bandwidth cap. I have to wait until next month before I can download the rest of my steam summer sale purchases and no more Netflix.

See if Acanac or Teksavvy is in your area.  They piggyback off of Bell and Rogers.  They also give you high/unlimited caps.

Yep tried them. Teksavvy only offers voip in my area and Acanac only dsl at max 6mbps during prime time.
I guess downloading at half speed is faster then waiting over a week for my download limit to reset.
Too bad it doesn't carry over, there are months we use less then 25% of our limit. Netflix plus Steam summer sale is a bad combination :)

Back on topic, it's nice to see fibre is finally starting to come to consumers. I remember it being promised in 1998 as the thing that would revolutionize our internet access. 14 years later and Toronto is finally starting to get it.
