Bell Canada is apparently gearing up to provide the good people of Toronto with the World's Fastest Internet™. http://www.thestar.com/news/city_hall/2015/06/25/bell-canada-to-give-toronto...
Only 1Gbps?! LOL, but US Internet offers 10Gbps! http://fiber.usinternet.com/plans-and-prices/ https://lobste.rs/s/mv7bzs/us_internet_to_offer_higher-speed_10gbps_connecti... Yes, residential; yes, 10000Mbps; yes, only 399,00 USD/mo, which amounts to 39 bucks per gigabit. Bell's 1Gbps is by no means the world's fastest internet. Not even in Canada: http://www.cbc.ca/news/technology/small-alberta-town-gets-massive-1-000-mbps... http://montrealgazette.com/technology/canada-can-learn-from-olds-ab-the-city...
While homes in cities like Vancouver, Montreal, and Toronto are toiling with maximum speeds only up to 100 megabits per second, in Olds Alberta – 90 kilometres north of Calgary – they have access to one Gigabit per second connections, and at the bargain basement rate of $57 per month, with no data caps.
Also, is Bell any different from AT&T and Verizon in that it doesn't peer with like anyone? Will most Canadian traffic still go through Chicago or New York? C.
