Good day… I see in my area Telus is starting to offer a 1.5Gb/s download service… Terrific news for us… My question pertains to what equipment we must now utilize to benefit from this additional ...

Since I know a lot of people never read it, the fine print: Maximum aggregate download speed is 1,500 Mbps. Maximum speeds are not achievable using a single device. Concurrent data streams may be required to access maximum speeds (i.e. 3 or more devices running at 500 Mbps each at the same time).
Now if you had a 10gbps router in your home, Cat7 ethernet, and 10gbps NICs in your PCs, maybe but there is no guarantee. Telus' routers I believe only have gigabit LAN ports.
You do understand you will only get max 1.0 to one device. Then the other .5 will be allocated for other devices. The equipment they provide can link at 2.5 Gbit but only has four 1 Gbit ports.
Are they providing SFP+ adapters that are capable of up to 10G? I don't use Telus equipment and everything on my network is 10G. I'd love to upgrade to 1.5G but they don't explain how they provide it.
