Re: How to Get 25mbps service?

I decided to start a chat session with telus to see if the 25/2.5 turbo as well as the 3hd/1sd was available to me now that allot of upgrades have been going on to replace the 15/1 and 2hd/1sd Optix that I currently have. To my surprise I was able to get both the upgrades which I ask to have on Monday and was told they should take 24 hours to go through. I don't want to highjack the thread but does anyone have a suggestion for how long I should wait till I phone in or open another chat since I still haven't seen the update and its now about 48hours?

Phone them back.I would not have waited that long.

Kruisey, thanks for the reply, I will phone in tomorrow after work!

call made, turns out what I was told on Monday was a screw up and I'm not able to get Optix Turbo or the 3HD/1SD profile on my line. Disappointment, that's all I feel atm.

Talk to 'Loyalty and Retention' because nobody deserves a run around like that.........Good Luck

Do hope everything has been settled for you now.I presume it is because you have not replied.

I'm going to wait till Monday to phone in again till I have some more information Kruisey, thanks for the reply.

So, 8 days latter and I have both the 3hd/1sd as well as for the most part the Turbo net connection thanks completely to another wonderful Telus employee on this forum (one of many reasons I love this place)! After chatting yesterday I opened another chat session and was able to upgrade my connection from 2hd/1sd to 3hd/1sd and the 15/1 to 25/2.5 Optik net connection. The only downfall is because my line is not the best I only really get the 25/2.5 when I have the tv off, but I will take it. I went from this:

to this which is with the tv off:

and with 2 hd streams going on both tv's:
»speedtest.net/result/2320382544.png

All and all, I'm happy. It would be nice to have the first pictures results when watching TV but I will take what I can get at this point. At least with loop bonding I should see very close to the Optik50 50mbps down, or if its available for the package I have now I shouldn't see the speeds drop when watching tv.

What inconvenience sir, you have given me what I have wanted for the last couple of years! I thank you again!
