Re: High Speed 50/Optik 50 FAQs

said by pb2k:

Have you considered that you might be addicted to netflix? Perhaps TELUS is actually doing you a favour by lowering the caps.

Tell that to the 3 teenagers and their mom that live in the house.

You can say that to anyone who has a $80+ Optik tv package as well. 'Do you need all those stations to watch your stupid reality TV?' addicted much?

It's not an addiction, it's a supplement of services.
Just like being able to rent movies from XBOX Live or Cinemanow Canada. They all use up alot of bandwidth. If actual video stores existed anymore, would not be an issue.

Like what was posted before. How much data does HD Optik Tv use in an average household?

Anyway, the wife and I discussed that 'if' Telus does start to enforce bandwidth caps in 2013 and 'if' we do go over by alot, we might just get a 2nd DSL service installed as it would be cheaper then having to pay bandwidth overages. Hopefully it does not come to that.

And you support them by paying for it, lol. You should be thanking Telus.

Why not just get 25Mb dry loop / naked DSL with TekSavvy West. It will cost a bit more up-front since you have to purchase a modem and then the installer, being Tellus (per CRTC wholesale guidelines), rapes the end-user with a $99 install. Once you get over these hurdles you can deal with a company completely based in Canada that offers unlimited services. Sounds like you are in a bundle, you need to unbundle yourself.

One of the high-end TSI DSL users in Alberta was cut off by Telus. It happens, but to throw Telus a bone, it has happened rarely.

Ahhh... so no TELUS customer was cut off, it happened on a resold connection
