@emsquared Yeah, as you may know, Canada is kind of large. So it takes a while for things to spread everywhere. Last year, I moved to a rural area that only recently got access to fibre optic. Before last year, you could only get DSL out here.

So I don’t really count them, because they are still dependent on the whims of the main companies.

Typically, in North America, there are regional monopolies or duopolies (perhaps one cable and one fibre company). Also, if you live in a rural or remote area, your choice will be limited, and you may have to take what you can get. Also only have 1 power company here.
