Quebec has high-speed internet available to all residents. Either fibre to the home, or subsidized StarLink.
Canada as a whole is expected to have 90% high speed internet by the end of 2026, and 100% by 2030.

"Cable is equivalent" only if you don't need/want a symmetric connection - until they lay fiber I'm stuck with an awful upload speed.
Still, cable can get up to 1Gbps, and probably higher, so it's a distinction without a difference.
The push to make sure that 100% of people have access to high-speed internet is the most important thing.
Heavily disagree. There is a distinction with a big difference. Currently deployed by Videotron cable solution is 940Mbps down and only 50Mbps up. That's an abysmal upload speed.
Of course Videotron is aware that cable is dead end. (even though they still building it on subsidies). That's why Videotron is offering to switch to Bell's fiber in some locations.
You can get 8 Gigabit symmetric home internet from Bell but not IPv6.
