Can't say, as I don't use mesh networks because it will only add more interference into the air space. The best solution IMO is to have 1 wifi router + several ethernet routers (converted to bridge/AP node modes). Several ethernet runs are doable if you can convert the phone line jacks into ethernet jacks.

I'm using the eero mesh system (also on Rogers here in Mississauga) and getting great speeds. I'm not renting them, I bought them. I am currently in my garage and my phone just showed a speed test at 593 Mbps down and my connection shows to 1 of my wireless beacons in a hallway in the house. I got a few 1 hub and 2 beacon new 2nd generation (triband) sets off a US supplier that I know for under $400 Canadian. A couple of neighbours and friends that I'm selling them to are all happy with them as well.

that's a good deal, I have one hub and 3 beacons, I am paying I believe $22 per month to rogers.

I have the Deco, gives me coverage in the whole house with better speeds than my Time Capsule alone was giving. I can also get coverage all the way to the end of the driveway and back of the yard.

I'm going to do ethernet backhaul in the spring when the attic isn't freezing cold, so I expect I'll have full speeds in the whole house.

I have a 3 bedroom, 2 story house.
