Canadian cable provider Shaw is set to introduce gigabit Internet to its customers on a trial basis, the ISP said. This will be the first Canadian implementation of the high-speed technology, which promises to bring data transfer speeds that are 10 times faster than Shaw's current 100Mbps High-Speed Nitro Internet service offered only in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver. The 1,000Mbps service will be delivered to homes over a fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) connection.
