I live in the capital of Canada, Ottawa Ontario - here we have mainly only 2 companies for internet -- Bell does not offer fiber optics at all - they do offer DSL but at a high price. Several months ago they started also offering wireless - but the way they promote the wireless they make it sound as if it is the next best thing to sliced bread........
The other company that offers internet has always promoted fiber optics --in fact they do offer DLS if you ask, however one still has to connect to cable to use it.

PS I did not know that DLS added a lot of high frequencies to home wiring. My home was built in 1972 and the smart meters have been playing havoc with the wiring here - my smart meter is in the utility closet in my basement - actually touching the metal electrical breaker box in there.

In my perception the majority of the current issues with smart meters could have been avoided if the "companies" had not insisted on putting the smart meters on every house/apartment/etc - if the telecommunications "companies" had promoted and used safer or safe technology instead of unsafe frequencies.
