Peace of Mind Plan… throttling, what Telus doesn’t mention.

Why can I not share data on a Peace of Mind Plan? Peace of Mind Plans are built for users who want to enjoy their data without having to worry about overage
costs, data limits and data consumption by other users on the account. On all of our Peace of Mind cell
phone plans, you can mobile hotspot within a certain range so that friends and family can use your data.
Data usage for mobile hotspotting is available up until the high speed threshold.
On your contract under included services there should be a “Hotspot up to xxGB” listed. The rep should have informed you that the hotspot would be disabled but it is listed there.
You mentioned an iPad, would it happen to be a cellular enabled model or Wi-Fi only? If it is a cellular enabled device then on the Peace of Mind Connect plans would be able to activate it and once the full speed data is depleted it would continue to work at the reduced speeds as well. There would be the one time connection charge to get it setup but after that would be a $0 charge on a monthly basis for the data for the device.
