> I believe the copper and coax infrastructure was subsidized by the gov't and so regulations were created to require granting independent ISPs wholesale access to the (last-mile) infra. AFAIK there are no similar regulations for the fibre networks as those were not subsidized.

That’s why they cut out the copper when they light up the fiber.

The crtc ruled that wholesale rules shouldn't apply to fiber, so prices are even worse. Apparently Canadians don't need fast internet.
