I keep getting called by Telus.

Today when I told him we have no Fiber in my area he said let me check and call back in 24-48 hours, I said I can see it right on your website. He said no let me see if we are coming to your area.

He called back in 10 minutes and said we have the panel to install the internet. I said I am only interested in the fiber option, ready to buy out my Rogers together with Shaw contract and everything. So I thought they are actually offering the service here. Nope after hassling with him to tell me which fiber Optik package I was getting he said it was just internet but dedicated to my family.

The best they can do is 150 download and 30 upload. I tested my current connection with him on the line and it was triple what he was saying.

Offered me a 30 day trial to see if we like it.

Sure the deal is good, but having dialup speeds? No thank you.

The new goggles also do nothing.

Yeah but your Internet is shared! Those bits are contaminated.

Yes that is what he said, when its peak hour our speeds will be the same, because I am not using a shared a connection.

The neighborhood next over has the Fiber service.

Close enough to work out a deal and run a cable over to share the fibre?

Can’t risk a shared service.
