Good bandwidth and connection with fibre optics

budget conscious, somewhat tech savvy, computer literate

I'm using telus in Toronto (Ontario, Canada) with fibre optics connection at home and the connection is very good. It's always up. So far I've used it for almost 4 months and the only glitches are with the isp change so I need to reboot my router every few weeks. The bandwidth is very fast depending. They advertise 100mbps transfer rates but so far I haven't hit that high. Maybe because it has to be local network transfer. My home computers are not shared so I haven't tested. But download speeds have been as high as 600-800kps and upload speeds max at 500-550kps. There's also no bandwidth limit usage unlike some of the ISPs currently implementing.

The wait time at tech support isn't too long either depending on the time you call. It's best to call at night. After using fibre optics, it would be hard to go back to cable or dsl speeds.
