Calgary Pure Fiber Nonresistant

I switched from Shaw internet in 2016 , and was of the belief that we would eventually get pure fiber to my house. But after trying to get upgrade from 50 mbps to 100 mbps I was told that they would have to double up the copper wire and we might not be able to have a land line telephone. When I inquired why we could not get pure fiber to our house I was told that it was a City of Calgary counsel restriction.
I was in Kelowna and talus was directional boring right up to the garages and fiber optics box inside of the garages.
The tech told me that almost all of Alberta and BC had pure fiber, but that there is a dispute with Calgary's City Counsel. Is this true and what can be done about it.
I find it hard to believe that we have a first class city with antiquated internet service.
Shaw is offering to double speeds of 300 and 600 , and most of Residential Calgary is still on Copper wire with max 75.
