I have had Telus Optik TV/Internet for the last year or so. I like it a lot. Never had a problem with internet speed and I like the TV interface.
Two problems I have with it though:
1) They updated the firmware maybe 4 or 5 months ago and since then the remote response has become extremely delayed. I'll push the guide button and it takes 4 or 5 seconds for the guide to show up. Before it was very smooth and almost instantaneous. Hopefully they come out with another update to alleviate that.
2) It comes with the Telus wireless router which is fine and all, but in the condo I'm living in, it's mounted in my closet (all the units in my building had Telus pre-installed). This is also fine since we just have laptops, and there is a plugin where my TV is. However, I want to be able to plug in both my Xbox and Cable into the one ethernet jack, so I figured I'll just plug my own router in there and then plug both Cable and Xbox into the router. Unfortunately the TV becomes choppy when it's on the 2nd router so I have to switch the cable back and forth. Maybe this has more to do with a router plugged into a router, or maybe the wrong router settings. I'm sure someone else has run into this though?
