Nobody is saying string fiber to every rural user...

That argument is old. Canada has fewer people to serve and a large majority of Canada's population lives in urban areas. Canada is ranked 37th in urbanization at 81%, ahead of many countries that have much higher internet speeds at cheaper prices.

That argument is crap. No excuse for crappy broadband in high density areas like the GTA, other than incumbent monopolies/duopolies raping customers.
