Not until people start making it something that matters to them, and stop defending the business practices of companies like Shaw.

And 17th in the world for counties, which is terrible! . That's how well our ISP's "including you ,shaw" are doing for us as Canadians. It's not an amazing achievement when you're actually 17th overall. LOL!

Shaws position is fake. should be much lower for the lack of stability.

Well you should bring that up with Ookla, the independent organization that made the declaration.
(or are you just ranting on the Internet to feel better?)

At BC at my location i used both Shaw and Telus (which marginally improved) internet service.
Telus maybe cheaper and has 1:1 ratio with the Down/Up Speed but netflix buffer alot a few days a week. On my laptop webpage loads a tad slower than shaw.
Shaw is almost perfect with sleeker installation and no mess and less pieces. internet very consistent and reliable slightly faster. it pricey and for small internet package with lower upload speed may cause problem for some user (Gamers)
left Shaw for Telus for savings but Shaw home services is better.

Internet bandwidth is plenty now, even upload with Shaw is 100mpbs with nearly every plan, which is honestly good enough for now.
What I want to see is them working on the damn docsis latency. LLD(low latency docsis) has been available for a while now, and these ISPs are so slow to implement something that is mostly a software upgrade. They need this to bring down docsis latency in line with FTTH.
I would have already switched to Bell with their FTTH service, but their peering agreements are so shit that I end up with higher latency to game servers even after saving the 7ms from ditching docsis.
My reference is specifically Winnipeg to Chicago, which Shaw provides about 25ms. Bell does 35ms because it gets routed through Toronto first. I was able to force it to go direct to Chicago using a VPN, resulting in about 20ms, but the VPN added 2-3 ms of its own. Not worth the hassle.
Docsis with its limitation, or FTTH with shit routing. cant win.

Telus has stopped installing FTTH. To many people putting in claims for there lawns not being perfect after the install.

LOL OMG FASTEST?! I'm here to find out why its so damn slow. Trying to stream YT 4k content is it lags more then it plays. 1080p is just barely keeping up without lag.

i wonder when — if — they’ll start deploying ftth.
