So Telus is installing Fibre in my area, and the sceevy salesman have been making the rounds. I was kind of tempted to see what it was about, even though I have a seething hatred for Telus. So I listened and nodded at the lies:
-Telus Fibre at 25mbps is 8x faster than Shaw at 25mbps
-Fibre is light, and it doesn't matter if the signal goes to copper, it's still light pulses so its better
-Shaw has service outages 3 times a year in your neighbourhood because their on copper(haven't had internet drop out in years)
-its no contract, cancel any time(read it when he emailed it to me, it's a contract)
-picture quality will be way better, because we send you the 1080p files(even after I told him my projector was 720P). It doesn't matter, it'll still be waay better
-they have moved all their call centres out of India(no idea on this one, just know that Telus customer service is the WORST)
Anyway, he said the price would be way cheaper, but I looked over the contract, and after 6 months, it's basically the same. So I don't see any reason to change. Have people found Telus to be cheaper than Shaw? It's tough to tell with all their packaging.
