After the Montreal-based national telecom launched its 8Gbps fibre internet plans earlier this year, it filed an application with the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to offer an 8Gbps speed tier for wholesale services, and the Commission has now approved the application on an interim basis.

I get gigabit, and that tests out to 700MBPS... and i can never saturate it. Not sure why i would need a bigger pipe for a long time.

I get 3 Gbps now but I cannot get much more than 1 Gbps in practice due to the wrong in my home. Even if I had 8 Gbps, my network is not getting any faster.
