Re: Just Got Turbo 50 said by e_phils:said by TrainAss:said by TiberiusX:It is a soft launch, so I would expect it not to be listed quite yet and yes it may not be available it all areas. If you call up Telus I am sure they would be happy to do a check on your line to see if it is.

I'll do just that! Although, I have an ALU connected to a (TELUS) DLink and my own router. I saw another thread where the ALU doesn't have enough internal memory to fully support 50/10... So I need to figure out how to be able to use my own network equipment w/the Actiontech... or find a new modem that WILL support the higher speeds. *sigh* Why can't ISPs have a set of equipment for those of us that like to be different? The ALU will work perfectly fine with QoS on. I installed the modded firmware (has PhyR and SRA enabled) and disabled QoS. It made a difference of about 0.5 to 0.7 megabits in speed tests using » vancouver.speedtest.telus.comSo even if you leave QoS on, there really isn't too huge of an impact on HS50. Good to know. I've done one firmware update on my ALU so far, that was last year. Might look for the new one and do it as well. Thanks!

EDIT, i run dual Wan with telus and shaw. looks like the speed test graphic got a little confused, but that was a test done with Telus turbo 50 |

So far, impressed - even switching from 100 Meg Shaw connection... loving the upload speed!
FYI, using my Asus RT-N56U router instead of the Actiontec (which is only being used for TELUS TV via Gigabit Switch). I have GPON service in a MDU.

| I had BB100 too for some time. I was nice from 3am to 11am. |

| I was lucky enough not to have many slow downs with the BB100. I'm going to cross my fingers that TELUS releases a 100 Mbps connection for those with Fibre connections, sooner than later. |

It a possibility.

VDSL2 has been great for me. I will definitely upgrade everytime a new profile becomes available in my area. |

| Very happy with the service and install. I am in Richmond BC as well.

Finally got things working properly for my new Optik 50.
When I first has QoS issues after the initial install, the Tech said my line was reading over 100Mbps so the signal is very good. I hope that's a sign of things to come. |

I'm using the same Actiontec V1000H as before. Running the hacked firmware with Bridge mode on version 31.30L.48
I had to do a factory reset to put the modem back into it's default settings because I have messed around with the ADSL profiles in the modem a bit too much and was getting massive packetloss when they first turned it on.
So according to the estimate on the modem this thing could go up to 140Mbps down and 50Mbps upload with the signal I get. Whoa. |

OK with upload speeds like that you have my interest as with cloud computing comes a requirement of upload speeds. When will this be available in SE Calgary?
