Take ten minutes and read the first post of this thread and all will be revealed. The important part I will post below and you can go to the thread and read the whole post if it doesn't make sense, which it probably won't. Bottom line is this: there's nothing hobbed about your iPhone or any other, and Telus' network is decent considering they attempted to build an HSPA+ network across the second biggest country in the world, basically from the ground up, and with no GSM backhaul to boot. Ignoring the fact that the Canadian cell market badly suffers from price fixing and we are raped on a monthly basis, we are lucky in that we have 3 national carriers with solid HSPA networks on the same frequencies, a luxury they most certainly do not have in the United States. Away we go:

Yeah my fears of switching to telus iphone have been alleviated a lot. One of my friends at work says she can drive from BC to Saskatchewan and never lose 3g during the trip, even out on the highway.
The guy "X" who wrote the article I posted in my original post here really does people a disservice. He makes a fallacious argument I think, by starting off the argument with "if you have both carriers iphones side by side and lose 3g for both networks..." essentially you're biasing the conversation right there. TELUS' network is different and maybe wont lose the 3g where a rogers phone would and fall back to edge.
