| [AB] Does the Thompson Speedtouch work with Turbo 25 plan? Hi, I just upgraded my internet from regular Turbo to Turbo 25. However, It may take a couple of days before it gets activated.
Is the Thompson Speedtouch 516 v6 capable of having 25 mbps download and 2.5 mpbs upload as advertised? I remember seeing a post here that it really depends on how close I am to the Telus line. However, I want the best of what I paid for.
When I upgraded to Turbo 25, the guy I talked to wasn't really a technician so I don't trust what he says.
To get the best speeds, should I request a new modem from Telus? Are those combination modem+router they send you reliable and have good wi-fi range (Router 2nd level, media streamer in the basement)? I remember using a Siemen's modem+router and the wi-fi range was horrendous. If that is the case, is there a stand alone modem that Telus can send me?
Thanks in advance |

| The Speedtouch is an ADSL 2+ model, from what I remember, once your port switches to VDSL2 for Turbo 25, the speedtouch will no longer sync at all.
Someone can correct me if I am wrong |

25Mbps down, maybe. You won't be able to get 2.5Mbps upstream with ADSL2+.
Please use the V1000H, this is the best modem TELUS currently has in stock and will save you all amounts of trouble.

Speedtouch did not work for me at all. Switched to the actiontech they supplied after I modified the firmware so I could bridge it and all was good again. |

| Just a note that you don't need custom firmware to turn it into a bridge. The root password would do. =) (If that's all your doing.) |

I had the root but when I changed it to bridge mode it would not take. It would just go back to the default setting every time. This is the reason I opted for the custom firmware. I could have been doing something wrong but all I know is it works great for a month now so Im not touching a thing. |

| What is the root password.
Where can I get this custom firmware? |

Chilliwack, BC | I found the root login through google. Wasnt hard.
The custom firmware is about halfway down on the topics page posted by TelusFW. Im not responsible for your actions. |
