Re: [BC] Shaw and TELUS in bed together - Anti-competitive condu Yea so the wife talked to Telus today about the new rates and stuff. So for our 6Mbps plan will be $45 a month(long term loyalty, I guess) and the agent said that if we were to go 100GB over our 100GB package, then there would be some intervention of whatever mysterious thing it is.
I guess the initial Telus goal is to cut loose or warn the heavy heavy users. And heavy to me is above 500GB a month. Even though the most we might do at this time is 150GB in the odd month.
So now we will wait on getting Teksavvy to see whatever official crap shows up on the Telus webpages on March 1 with the new rates. Since the overages (cents dollars per GB) is not listed yet.
You can use a Telus modem on Teksavvy, but it would need to be able to use PPPoe or bridgeable for your Router to use PPPoe.
At least I think Teksavvy uses PPPoe for theirs in BC..
must support G.DMT and be PPPoE configurable. vci: .33
» [DSL] [BC] ADSL or still PPPoE?
Plenty of low cost reliable ADSL modems out there. Its when you get into the above 15Mbps speeds and for the future you need a VDSL2 modem(with certain parameters, 8B/17A profile) which is the expensive stuff. |

Telus Profits are up 23 percent but apparently jacking up the rates and cutting services is justified.

Weird that you say that.
I am paying/payed....
$55 activation fee ($75-$20)
No dry loop activation fee since the dryloop is already active.
$54.99 + $7.04 dryloop fee. (High Speed DSL 25.. Unlimited)
$62.03 +tx per month
I'm using a TP-Link TD-W8961ND that I got for $45 online. Works well.
I had to give back my Actiontec to Telus. Otherwise I would have just flashed the firmware so that it would work 
said by Sindows 7:said by South_of_22:Teksavvy is $34.99 month (plus dry loop band rate if DSL only) for unlimited bandwidth on the 6meg plan.
said by Sindows 7:holy f**k whats with these prices?
6mbps is $50 now? 
Ya but they are scammers too. $34.99 month PLUS They want $75.00 for a speedtouch 516 (thats a $5 item at any sally ann) Modem Shipping $10.00 Dry Loop Activation Fee $39.99 Activation fee $75.00 DSL Filter $4.99 (you can find these in the garbage) BC Band $26.84 / month If you currently own a Telus ADSL modem, it will not work with our services. LIES no thanks |

Seems to me they are trying to eliminate competition.
(netflix) it wouldn't be long with a free month of netflix to reach 150GB let alone 100GB |

Your lucky the 20$ rebate is usually when you buy the modem.
I don't see the point of switching to save $2-3 a month. |

And in 6-9 months it will be saving $6/month, then in the next 6-9 months after that it will be saving $9/month, and so on and so on. |

Not to mention cable at $34.95 / month for 7.5 Mbps unlimited, or 25 Mbps cable for $44.95. No dry loop fees then and way cheaper than Telus or Shaw.
Has anybody else noticed that Telus is now charging a $50 install fee unless you sign a contract? |

said by shawtelusbs :Exactly. It is price fixing. They both offer the same 'switch to us and get a 6 month discount' BS maintaining virtually the exact same pricing. And the government isn't doing anything about it. They claim that industry can look after itself.
Years later we will hear about a review of 'price fixing' just like those concrete companies did in Ontario...but again nothing will be done. All that money they stole gone.
The mafia...the CRTC in bed with those same corporations they are suppose to regulate, Here is their real name..
