That and Cable has a lot more capacity than the phone line Telus carried. I'm sure Shaw can go to 200+ mbps with not too many problems.

Telus installed fiber in Sunnyside last year. They came by my house to let me know they planned to do it, and several months later when they did it to sign me up on their new plans. I believe they just ran the fiber along the telephone poles in the alley, and minimal ground disturbance was needed.
It may actually be the mid-older communities where they first laid ground cable, and need to dig that is what you are mentioning. However, the really old communities have their internet (Shaw/Telus) by telephone pole from what I can tell.
