Fibre Optics in my Area

Golden, BC

When I signed up for Telus I was told the fastest speed available in my area was 15mbp/s Download and 1mbp/s Upload.
(Price: 71$/month for the first 6 months + 15$ per month for unlimited usage. Going up 20$ after the six months. So around 100$ a month afterwards.

Revelstoke which is about an hour and a half away has three services, and full coverage for Fibre Optics.
25mbps Download/Upload for 55$ a month
250mbps Download/Upload for 90$ a month &
950mbps Download/250mbps Upload for 150$ a month

Terribly slow in comparison, but I had checked the status for Fibre Optics in your Area, and it said "Hang in there, we are working on getting Fibre Optics to your area".

I found out after, Eastlink offers 20mbp/s Download and 2mbp/s Upload.

And Tekksavvy offers 50mbps with a Dry Loop for the same price.

All of that was frustrating enough, but now when I check the availability of Fibre Optics in my area, it says "Telus PureFibre is not available at your location".

What changed? Why did the website say Telus was bringing it to Golden before, but now aren't?
