Copper & Pure Fibre Not Available in New Neighbourhoods?

[wireless]

I'm moving to a new home in less than a month, and I phoned up Telus to see about moving my services. I'm currently on PureFibre and Optik TV.

The neighbourhood I'm moving to is new and according to the guy I spoke to, will be set up for PureFibre internet, but not until spring. Since it's not going to be spring for a WHILE yet in Alberta, he told me he'd see about taking the PureFibre "tag" off the property so that it could be set up for copper services in the meantime. Totally fine.

But when I call back to check on this process, I'm told by a different guy that new neighbourhoods have NO copper services, and though he will double check, I will probably not have internet until spring when the PureFibre is installed????? Unless I switch to a different service provider????????? I definitely do not want to do that!! I am very happy with my Telus services and I don't want to have to switch contracts for a few months until the PureFibre is ready to go, that has headache all over it. Does this sound correct????? The agent is supposed to call me back by tomorrow, and I REALLY hope he was incorrect!!
