![]() 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.

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. ![]()

![]() 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!

![]() I have a cell phone with no camera or any of that fancy stuff that I just keep in my purse for emergencies, or to call the significant other (our phones are linked). Every single time I pick it up it has three or four messages from spammers. If they charge me ONE FREAKING CENT for spam I will smash the cell phone with a hammer and never get another one. That is ridiculous.

![]() Hi,
I have several friends with Telus TV and they have never complained. I was talking to our IT 'guy' at work and he explained to me the issue with bandwidth. Cable companies seem to be spending a lot more on developing their infrastructure than phone companies. (His opinion, I don't know if it is fact or not) If that is the case, the more people that use the service in a community, the more bandwidth it will eat up from the system - the same argument they make about why you shouldn't go with a cable internet connection. The limited bandwidth and 2 TV boxes per house is their way of delaying the inevitable. If it gets too popular, the system will crash if it isn't updated. So, if it works for you, enjoy it. (And tell all your neighbors that it is lousy!) I'm sticking with the cable company... |

![]() Not sure on telus but sasktel probably runs a similar system, appears to come through the phone line but I believe it's actually fiber-optics and then cat5 through the home. With current setups in older neighborhoods service is slow but as things get upgraded it's suppose to be way faster than coax cable. They say it's the future but it's still new technology. Not sure how much truth there is to that but that's what the install guys keep saying.
However sasktel sucks! Crappy PVR box, service always crashes, and internet is substantially slower than promised. Cost isn't exactly that great either. Plan on ditching the whole system in the short future. Shaw however isn't much better IMO. |
