So far I've been pretty pleased with Optik; I'm about 1/2 way through my 3 year term, and my speed is pretty good. I'm on the 15Mb/s profile currently and even though the switching station in Kensington is only 4 blocks away from my place, apparently I'm not capable of getting anything higher. My speed is extremely stable with low latency and jitter.
Having said that, the one thing that really annoys me about IPTV is that you're pretty limited when it comes to selection of routers because they have to be able to do an IGMP Proxy for multicast. The D-Link router that Telus provides is a big PoS, and I'd love to replace it but I seem to be coming up short finding a decent router that supports the IGMP proxy. That's my biggest irk.
