Building out the infrastructure, but just for some

Telus at work, Kitsilano, Vancouver, BC

One of the advantages of high population density is cheap infrastructure. Across Vancouver Telus is installing fibre optic service for its residential customers. The customer density makes this upgrade possible.

I live on a half-acre lot on a semi-rural island. As much as I would benefit from faster internet service, I can't see it happening for many years.

The infrastructure cost per customer is too high and the revenue is limited.

So, Telus customers in the city will get an upgrade, and I can't even get Telus service at all.
