Cool I never knew that, but I assume that is a shared connection with the rest of res? And I am sure that cost well over 200$

Only certain area have fiber set up. That to the majority are set up with fiber to the nodes in your area and then copper to your house. With the fiber to the node you can only get a max of 25Mbps download and 10Mbps download. If your lucky enough to get fiber straight to your house from bell than you could get speeds of 175Mbps down and 175Mbps upload. And it isnt price to badly either for those speeds around 160$ if I am correct.
