Any customers on here? What do you think of it. We are seriously looking at it for three reasons, three months free, $30 less a month than BellXpressvu, and they include 2 digital box rentals.

Its so slow...I used it at my cousin's place for 10 days while I house sat. The guide is so slow to come up and respond. Picture, reception, etc. was fine, but the speed at which the guide and its applicable features moved just ruined it for me. She and her husband ended up returning their boxes and returning to shaw for their cable needs.

I hate Bell but their service works more often than my Telus phone. The phones have been blanked out in at least a 30 square mile block since early this morning. I sure wish that would happen in a city, betcha they'd fix it. FAST.

Could be the one phone is just a little better than the other. Telus and Bell piggyback networks with one and other. Unless that's changed recently.

Deb, the biggest drawback that I found when I concidered Telus tv, was that you can only have 2 rigs per houseold at this point. You can't even buy more if you wanted to. The system only supports a max of 2 per home at this point.

That would leave me with 4 tv's on peasant vision.

LOL, that's hilarious Gary ! If I had 6 Tv's I probably wouldn't be wondering about a more economical plan....bwhahahahah !

I had Telus TV at my old place it was ok digital service. I did'nt have any real issues. I have a HD PVR now with shaw and it acts up more the the telus box did. My old room mate has Telus also and he thinks it's ok, but he was telling me that Telus only has like 2 techs for the whole city.. Mind you not a lot of people using the system yet.

Telus.....hmmm, isn't that the same company that brought us the 15 cent per incoming text message charge, including the spam they send?? I swear, after my contract expires for my current cell phone, I will NEVER have another ANYTHING from Telus! Their rates suck, their plans suck and their customer service sucks!
