Telus TV

I have Telus TV too, we've been with them for a little over a year now with no issues at all. We have three TVs, each with its own box. The downside is that to get the third set, we had to pass on HD. It does depend on the signal strength at your house too, ours is very strong according to the installer who set it up.

I have an aquaintance who is a director with Telus in Networking. He indicated that Telus will soon be able to supply as many as six boxes and HD to a customer. His timeline for this to start rolling out was very soon, likely February or March. He indicated that current customers would be getting the upgrades first.

Yup, they just installed the fibre optics system in my neighbourhood & started the new protocol this month. I can run up to 6 TVs now, not 2 and it doesn't affect my internet speed. Getting 11 mbs on my computer & my wife's laptop (wirelessly) as well. The installer even ran an extra long line to my back so if we ever want to hang out on the deck to let Felicia play in the backyard while we watch tv or surf the net, no problem. And more computers using our connection will NOT slow down my internet speed, so I'm happy.

With Shaw, my internet speed fluctuated constantly, depending on time of day (ie. around 3pm it was superslow).

I now have far more channels, excellent HD sports coverage to watch the Olympics, a free PVR, faster internet, wireless internet for Irene, same digital phone service, ability to watch HD tv out back & will still save about $700 this year.

I know that the earlier Telus TV service was crap. They tried to go too fast before their system was fully up to speed & they used crappy contractors who screwed things up & POed alot of customers.

I tested the internet speed & watched Telus TV at a friend's place first before switching. My internet is almost 4 times faster and so I'm a happy camper so far.
