He also told me that Shaw is testing 1gb down and 500mb up with current infrastructure and believes it will become a thing in 2020.
So, was it the VP's opinion that it won't FULLY be rolled out, or, never to homes that need the fibre upgrade? Because yeah, I can see it taking a long time to get all major centres updated.

But my house was a fibre upgrade from copper. What he literally laughed about never happening... if I read this right... happened here. And really everywhere through out Alberta and BC.
