Technically they have residential service in Toronto since they do have fiber to CityPlace in Toronto.
Alright, technically you're right... But it is a one-off development.

Maybe this 33-million dollar "Internet data centre" has something to do with the joint Bell-Telus deployment going on:

I hope not. I would rather see Telus break into the Quebec Internet market on its own.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21246434 Fri, 10 Oct 2008 14:02:53 EDT Re: Telus invests $33M in Que.

thing is... whats this new internet data centre??

As far as I know there is NO Telus internet in Montreal/Quebec.

Am I wrong?
TELUS only offers Internet service (DSL) to British Columbia and Alberta. The offer roaming access in Quebec, through cell phones and Air Cards, but that's it as far as I know. There was talk in the past of eventually bringing Internet and digital TV (which is IP based) out east. Don't think this in particular is it, probably something business related if anything.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21243862 Thu, 09 Oct 2008 23:48:20 EDT Re: Telus invests $33M in Que.

==========
MONTREAL -- Telus Corp. (TSX:T) is spending more than $33 million on a new Internet data centre in the Montreal suburb of Laval.

Telus currently operates eight data centres across Canada - buildings housing powerful computer servers, with redundant power, cooling and security systems - connected to its Internet protocol network.

The country's second-largest telecommunications company said Wednesday the state-of-the-art facility will meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design standards.

Retrofitting of an existing structure has begun, with completion of the new centre set for 2010.

"This investment in Quebec will support our clients' growing need for more powerful IT infrastructure while having one of the lowest carbon footprints of all data centres in North America," stated Karen Radford, president of Telus Quebec.

Telus said the 44,500-square-foot facility, with room for expansion, will consume as much electricity as 5,000 homes.

Its heat exchange system will exploit the Quebec climate for free cooling during two-thirds of the year as the complex meets the LEED green-building standards.
