I live in a single detached home and I already have 1.5gb fibre connection through Teksavvy, which includes their TV service. The house next door, which is literally feet away because I live near downtown, had Bell Fibe TV/Internet. So its not a physical neighborhood availability issue.

Bell Canada, Rogers Communications Canada Inc. (Rogers), and TELUS Communications Inc. (TELUS) are not eligible to access mandated wholesale HSA services anywhere in Canada.

There could be a technical reason for preventing role out to all cities in Ontario, but I am assuming there may be some regulatory or legal issue holding things up.
