Throttling

I have seen on this forum replies to questions in regard to Throttling which people are sure Telus does not Throttle, but on this site there is a post from Telus which states,

"At this time Telus does not throttle any traffic over standard ADSL plans. IE lite speed, 1.5 3.0 and 6.0 connections If you have Telus TV service than different rules apply due do certain factors needed to maintain quality of service".

We have Optik TV and internet. How much does Telus Throttle to maintain quality of service and what applications are more heavily Throttled?

That Telus Facts page is ancient. Barely maintained. I'd say that post is about 5 years old.
»Telus FAQ »Does Telus thottle internet connections

On having two services(Internet/Optik) coming into the home, Optik is given QOS priority over Internet, should the need arise.
A bunch of technical stuff: Line maximum speed and subscribed Internet speed rate. Internet 25 + Optik 3 HD/1 SD + line capable of 40Mbps = Internet speed slight reduction to 20Mbps, if 4 Optik TV units being used at same time.

Towns with old hardware are currently subject to a primetime congestion throttle policy that is targeted at only reducing the entire stream speed of heavy users.
