Internet for good
I live in a rural area where the only internet telus has is from cell towers, so although i am on PWD i dont qualify for the discount. Is there a way i can still sign up for internet for good so that i can access the program that offers low cost refurbished computers through internet for good?

beware that the internet for good deal is only good for 2 years and then you need to reapply! they dont tell you that.
If Telus isn't giving you the PWD discount, I'd look at alternatives in the area. Lots of places to get low cost internet, as well as low cost refurbished PC's if thats something you need. Many large businesses donate stock to places like ERA or FreeCycle which have great outreach programs!

This website seems to imply that you can apply for it if you meet the criteria listed:

Hopefully you can get in touch with someone to get clarification as to what you might be eligible for.
I cannot apply as it stands because there is NO available internet here. My only access is via cell tower and that does not qualify
I live in a very rural area there literally NO alternatives available to me. the only access available here is via cell tower
- SpaceX has a system that's available from coast to coast, I had it at my farm, and I have about 15 of them on my business sites, in places Telus can't reach. It's available everywhere because it uses low orbit satellites.
