Strange, i am on Telus Optik 25 and I dont have any noticeable slowdown, I am in the SE Ogden area.

The only issue I have is an older HP laptop from work will sometimes lose its wireless connection and the only fix is a reboot. But that is off my own netgear router and nothing else disconnects, but that is a known driver issue with the wireless NIC so nothing that would affect Telus.

I personally would speed test non peak vs on peak and take a screenshot while both connected via network cable vs wireless just to take one variable out of the equation (as that is the first thing the technician will ask if you ever get through to them). The whole point of going with Telus is that its supposed to be a direct vs shared (cable) connection. So slower max but faster baseload speed.
