Bell had briefly offered 8Gbps but pulled it. I think Rogers and Telus have 5Gbps? Technically they should all be able to offer 10Gbps though as I'm pretty certain they're all using XGS-PON.[Beanfield] Beanfield 8GBps Internet for $60 (YMMV - area dependent) - RedFlagDeals.com Forums

Start counting your pennies if you want to go this route.... just the 10G switch to connect to the single 10G out is a minimum of $150 which is an outlier since most seem to run around $250. And don't even bother looking at what 10G Nics are going to cost you.

. But 500down costs $100+ in alberta. I'd love gigabit or faster for those kinds of prices.
I've been with Shaw (now Rogers) for years, my latest was their 1.5 for $105. There was no competition from Bell - the max they could offer me was 20. As in Mbps. This summer they recently completed extensive upgrades in my area, running fiber under all the streets, and running fiber up to my house. The came a knocking and offered a really attractive 1.5Gbps for $65/mo. So I signed up.
Got it installed, and the modem's own speedtest is showing 1650Mbps, however I think the integrated wireless router kinda sucks, its seems it maxes out at 150-174Mbps. Whatever. That's still fast enough for most of the devices in my house. I ordered a 50' Cat6 cable to run from the Modem in the basement up to my computer across the house in the living room. That's the one I want to be very fast. It's got a 2.5Gbps NIC on the motherboard, and the modem has a 10Gbps hookup, so I should be able to take advantage of the entire 1.5Gbps internet once hooked up that way.

Boom.
Installed today. Tech told me to not use the 10gb port as it could cause issues. Well I am. I want all the speed!!!
The breaking point on this change was streaming with Eastlink can only do 15mbps up. I was having issues doing multi stream.
I figure 1gbps upload should be able to handle whatever i need now!

I had a similar switch from Eastlink to Bell. Eastlink wasn't willing to give me any kind of break on the monthly bill, as they had in the past, even though I had been with them for 13 years, and Bell was offering much better speeds at a better price. That was several years ago now, no complaints with Bell.
I stuck it out with Eastlink a long time in an attempt to support "the little guy", but after the poor customer service I decided to move on.
The tech is on crack. If that was the case I'd be calling them to cancel.
