The c7 has peitty slow nat performance but not 250mbps slow nat performance. (Unless you are running sqm)

I don't know where the 2 year term and $30 extra comes in to play. (Rental of new rotuer with package)
Ontario does have a law if you signed a contract in your home you have 15 days to cancel. No questions asked. Tellus is only a isp out west so i wonder if your province has a similar law.
I woud try enabled the flow offloading feature if you haven't.
Very unlikely to get close to 1gbs in real world situations with wifi ac. Newer wifi ax is more likely to get there. (Probably what he's talking about.) But we are talking about a hard wired connection here so pritty moot.
Good to know about the performance of the C7.
The part about the 2 year term and $30 more is because I upgraded from one of their lowest packages to gigabit, which was about $30/mo more and required a 2 year term if I didn't want a terabyte download limit.
I believe if they don't have flow offloading enabled 250Mbps is exactly the speed they should expect. It's been a while since I've used the C7, but I believe that's precisely the limit of what I was able to get without offloading. Now it worked just fine for me as the connection was only 25/3Mbps but that's neither here nor there.
