I'm paying 120/mo for symmetric gigabit fiber from Telus.

Compared to my European colleagues this is in no way reasonable.



Good if you can get it. I'm 30 miles east of Toronto and the max speed I can get from Bell is 40Mbs. In Toronto I had Bell and it was 1Gbit/1Gbit. Fastest connection I've had.

Rogers offer 1Gbit/50Mbit but without any competition they can name their price which is a ridiculous $115 + HST.

The trick in Canada is to sign up and then move to another provider within a few months. Retentions will call you and you'll get a more reasonable deal. I do this with Rogers and Fido (which Rogers own) every 12 months.
