Telus Give Us FTTH Customers More Speed...Telus if your reading this I have been a FTTH Internet 100 customer for awhile. And I find it crazy that your fastest speed you over is 100/20 over fiber. Look at all the fiber companies in the states and Ontario,Quebec offering 300-1000 connection. Please take my money and give me faster speeds. |

Feel free to PM me and I'll gladly provide you with a business level gigabit line I'm assuming that's what you actually need. The good news is it will also have a solid SLA associated with it
Please let me know who the contract signor is and if I need to schedule a meeting with the "c level" in your company |

Seriously, what kind of packages exist, and costs. I am curious. |

It's probably just easier for their accounting systems to have the same packages for all internet customers, I would assume.
Or maybe they're holding off until they have a large FTTH userbase. |

You name the speed and we have it available. The only time it becomes challenging is in smaller communities. When you start moving towards true business managed fibre internet plans the SLA is a huge factor. When your business starts relying on internet/WAN connectivity that becomes more and more important.
BTW, all those type of plans are 50/50, 100/100, 1000/1000 etc etc... and unlimited use |

...and 50/50 and 100/100, if you don't mind. |

Yes, because clearly a residential customer needs an SLA with five nines of uptime and has $120k per year to budget for Internet connectivity. |

Which is clearly, of course, relevant to a residential customer's needs - and thus - this conversation must be considered an utterly normal informational event. If Telus thought the network could stand the strain, higher Residential Service levels would be offered. Obviously, not. - (best "Dr. Watson" voice) However, I suspect sarcasm is wasted on this lot, Sherlock. |

I figure if Telus were to start offering gigabit service for residential, the Internet backbones that serve Canada would probably buckle under those obscene bandwidth loads. No one *needs* gigabit, after all. |

I know. Lots of people could. I'm just having a jab at ISPs who refuse to offer faster speeds. |

I would like to try gigabit service for residential like google fiber too... |

First of all any residential customer could utilize 1gbit, 10gbit or higher at any time. A customer doesn't need to max out there connection 24/7 to need/want a faster connection. Thanks and please maybe think before you comment. |

Re: Telus Give Us FTTH Customers More Speed...The ability to use the speed is important.... being able to receive or send the information. While is sounds nice to have that speed, unless you're hosting a server connecting to many, many people you'll never utilize that speed.... ever Examples... Web surfing, what website can send at that speed.... none File sharing, you'll never be able to find a torrent etc with enough seeders to utilize it, even with 10 or 20 downloads going, you won't max it out. So please explain what I'm missing |

So please explain what I'm missing Most sites are hosted on 1gbit or higher servers so the faster the internet you have the faster the site/content loads. Also I could easily max out a 1gbit or 10gbit connection with torrents/nzbs. I have had 1gbit/10gbit servers in others countries and have maxed the download/upload speed of both with a lot less than 20 torrents. |

How can you possibly be arrogant enough to presume what a customer could or couldn't utilize? No point in delaying the inevitable, which is residential gigabit. Sure, the average grandma doesn't need gigabit, but there are plenty of power users who work from home, back up large amounts of data to offsite locations, run RDP sessions over the Internet, etc. Let's get real here. Use cases exist, whether you want to acknowledge them or not.
The more comical thing here is you're so worried about people *not* maxing their connections? Isn't it better for Telus if customers *don't* max their connections? Or do you want to sell a gigabit connection and know that it'll be maxed 24/7? |

Yes most sites are on fast servers. Awesome if that site only has to connect to one person... now divide the connection by the number of page requests. Just confirming what you're saying... you've had a 1 gig and a 10 gig pipe all to yourself? |

Arrogant? You're mixing up being realistic with that... Why in God's name would TELUS build a solution that would enable anybody and everybody to have 1 gig connections for the 1 in 100,000 residential customers who think they require it? do you really think that's the way to build a network and infrastructure? How much money do you think it would cost to rewire BC and AB to have that connectivity? If you really need the connectivity, you can have it right now. Just be ready to pay for it
Let's not even go into the fact that nothing you've noted actually require that kind of bandwidth. If you're running a network properly, there's literally zero reason why a remote worker needs that type of bandwidth You understand that many small universities and colleges don't even use that kind of bandwidth for 100's of users |

The trouble with 1 gig service. It's not that it's not needed by some, it that you realize everyone around you is slow. You reach a point where infrastructure you connect too can't go as fast as you. You also realize that consumer are using wireless more than wire connection. There is no wireless protocol right now that could even take advantage of 1gig bandwidth.
Although there is some legitimate use of torrent out there, I think we would have to agree that most of is not. So when you make the case you want more speed, it's hard to make a case when its for illegal download.
I have a 50mb connection at home and when I bought a game digitally from Microsoft or Sony, my download doesn't even come close to reaching the 50mbit. The only service that I got some decent download speed was on steam. Even so, there is a huge difference between 100mbit service and 1gig. You also have to make sure the infrastructure can sustain that kind of bandwidth.
I am sure one day you will see 1 gig service on TELUS, now may not be the time. |

Heard Back from Telus on th 200/200.
It is priced the same as your standard Alberta Supernet Connection. |

I could use higher than 100meg. It isn't often but sometimes I'm downloading multiple ISO's or Steam games when the kids are watching 2 different netflix streams and I'm making a skype call. The extra bandwidth matters. I also really dislike people making the correlation of heavy internet use with people doing something illegal. |

I also really dislike people making the correlation of heavy internet use with people doing something illegal. Never imply that it was for illegal only but a lot do. Like everything else, it has to make sense from a business stand point of view. The cost of the infrastructure to support that high bandwidth connection is enormous. If we have over 2000 connections on an OLT, can you imagine the amount of backbone need to support that ? If everyone goes at the same time online and start downloading steam games, while watching YT and Netflix. You would be made if your connection wouldn't be able to handle it because we just don't have the bandwidth to support all of you simultaneously during prime time. You have to be patient here. It will come in due time. Now it's probably a little early but we never know. The business/marketing people can change their mind at any time and decide that the direction they want to go. |
