I think with Telus I could only do a max of 2 recordings, something to do with not enough lines so that was all that was possible.
Assuming you were getting Telus 25, it's not the lines that are limiting your recordings, it's your PVR. If it's only 15, then that's a different story.

I just switched to Telus and i'm in an older area. All they do is "bond" the two phone lines that go into your house to achieve 25. I have the max two recordings, but that is purely the PVR limitations. It is a step up from the old Shaw box though as I had to be watching one of the two shows I was recording where the Telus box I can be watching something else while 2 are recording.

As for Cral12's question:
I've found Telus to be more consistent with speeds.
As for Wifi, same as oilyfan I disable it on the modem/router (did it with Shaw too). If it was dual band, I would give it a shot, but the modem they use is a neutered version so you only get 2.4GHz.
