Telus "High Speed" Internet

[Der_Iron_Chef]

I just called, and apparently the problem is that my household has a limited bandwidth, and each Telus TV box takes up some of that, as well as the internet. If all three are running, it leaves little for the internet.

I turned off one of the Telus TV boxes and did a speed test again, which came out at 3460 kbps. Much better.

getting good numbers with Shaw now


But not always, have seen drop to a quarter or less of above.

I bet they forgot to mention that when they sold you the TV boxes didn't they?

If you have a fairly recent router you should be able to setup a priority scheme for your PC but it would probably be tough to get the right balance so you don't screw up the TV too bad.

I got a year left with Telus. Been with them forever it seems but by the end of next year when my contract is up I'm outta there. There is no customer loyalty.

I was talking with my Dad about telus he used to get a $5.00 a month customer loyalty discount then sudenly they took it away with out telling him and then a month later they added a $5.00 a month long distance access fee ( I think that is what he called it) Go figure I guess they have to recover all the money they gave him in discounts
