| Optic internet speed increase coming soon? I was on the phone with the retention department, talking about my loyalty discount, which disappeared last month. I reminded them that Telus is way behind Shaw in the speed department and they said that I should watch their website this month, for what that's worth. |

| Hmm, interesting... Anyone at Telus care to shine some light on this? Main reason I switched back to Shaw was their speeds and static IP's were an extremely good deal. |

Hopefully they can do something, I would be happy with at least 10mbps upload on the 25 down package, although 15mbps would definitely differentiate it. If they could come up with a 50 down 25 up package that would be sweet. My line is only capable of 74mb down and 14 up according to the stats though so I'm not sure there's anything I can fully take advantage of unless they release the 12a profile or the 17 they're testing in Quebec. Not sure even with those profiles released if I'd be able to reach higher speeds due to my line stats or how it works between the modem stats and what the profile allows. |

I also hope they don't blatantly lie like Bell does on their website about their Fibe speeds. If someone's a lawyer, perhaps there can be a good class action suit.
It's also pretty stupid that the 50mb down package they offer only has 10mb up. |

Your missing the huge red flags on the page you posted. Look at the bandwidth cap. Sure they are offering those speeds, but 100GB cap are you kidding me?
Like I said, I switched to Shaw Biz for numerous reasons, one being their soft caps. I have a 250GB soft cap, and go into the 400-500GB a month and haven't heard from Shaw as of yet. |

25/10 - the upload is up to 10 depending on the distance but the download is usually smack on if its available .
Fibe 50 is 50 up and down. The profile is actually set to 60 down and 55 up or something close to that. Fibe 175 the profile is set to 186 or 200 down and 186 up. I'll have to double check those fibre profiles.
If your line is good and can handle it the fibe 25 profile is 26 down and 11.3 up. |

The 50mbps and 175mbps service is a FTTH based service and the speeds are symmetrical.
I think there's something wrong with the instance of the website you loaded. When I checked their website just now it shows symmetrical upload and download speeds on the website. |

Well, those caps are a separate issue, my main problem is with them saying they offer 50/50 and 175/175 when the next page states that it's 50/10 and 175/30... and I'm willing to wager my car that the second set of specs is the correct one as I've never seen a business make an error in favour of the consumer! |

Did you compare the packages? That's where the second screenshot comes from. |

They offer 250gb and 300 gb caps on the 50 and 175mbps services. Paltry still, but its not 100GB. The website is clearly messed up when you try to compare the services. If you click on each service individually and look at the details you'll notice that the 50 and 175 services are symmetrical. In addition, I know of people who have the service and it is indeed symmetrical. |

Second image posted shows 100GB usage included, first shows completely different?  |

I'd take anything Bell presented with a grain of salt. They are the the worst, hands down. |

So basically your giving a Ferrari but cant make full use of it out of fear of getting a speeding ticket essentially?
What is the point of having such speeds if you can blow through the damn cap in a few days? |

I believe Telus was doing a brownfield FTTH pilot project in the Lendrum neighbourhood in Edmonton. They were using aerial fiber as all the residences are serviced aerially there. I would imagine that brownfield underground is still extremely cost prohibitive at the moment. I know Telus is doing underground greenfield FTTH. |

| Yes I have been aware of this project in Alberta for a while but I am in metro Vancouver and would love to see Fiber here lol |

| Ok if Telus is going to be releasing 100Mbit seeds what will be expecting to pay ? |
