The good deals on fibre in Vancouver come from companies like Novus[1] that only serve the downtown core. Most of the city is stuck with Telus and Shaw.

Indeed. Though I didn't realize they only serve the downtown core. I lived in Burnaby, in a new condo development that was contractually locked in to Shaw for the entire building. Telus came in after, but I imagine things like that make it more difficult to compete as a smaller company.

I don't live in the downtown core, though I do have Novus
