I had a long chat with a VP from Shaw about this just the other day. Basically, he laughed about it because it's never going to happen. Getting fibre into existing homes means digging up yards, which is a non-starter. Telus, like everyone, is waiting for 5G to take over.

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.
