Virgin Mobile gave me the middle finger for retention, bastards using corona as an opportunity to charge me full price after my first year deal is up. So this is what I found at the moment (Ontario):
1) Cable internet 75 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up, $43+tax
It's Roger's cable. Included in the price is a cable modem (Hitron CDA3-20), but you need to pay $15 for shipping (via Purolator). Cancelling cost is max $50, based on how many months in the year are left (something like 10% of every remaining month' s bill up to $50). Roger's technician comes to install, but he can't come in, he just stands in the doorway and you have to hook the modem up (my install date is the following Tuesday).

2) Fiber To The Neighborhood (FTTN) 50 Mbps down, 10 Mbps up, $40+tax
Uses phone lines to reach you. Even if you don't have phone service, they can still use the wires as long as they're installed. They would even install a dry loop themselves (didn't ask for the cost), however, due to the corona nonsense the technician can't enter your accommodation. Their customer service person commented that since I have a Bell fiber installation, they may have pulled the phone lines out (maybe it's just a rumor this specific representative heard). Didn't want to risk it so went with the cable since I can see it dangling out of the wall.

The customer representatives were very friendly and talked in clean English, no accent (called 3 times about a week apart). Not sure if the "Order" button does anything, cause I did not get a call for a few hours. Just called them up myself, paid via credit card over the phone.
Does not seem to be a too hot of a deal, but this is the best I found browsing the internet. Would have stayed with Virgin if they at least would have offered me to pay $50 instead of the full $60. Now it's matter of principle NOT to pay Virgin.
