Fiber X 5 capped at 3250 mbps
I signed up for the new Fiber X5 plan. My entire house and all devices are connected on 10Gbe connections. However my DOWNLOAD speed is still capped at 3250 mbps, while my upload is at 5350 mbps...
Thanks to users like yourself, we were able to talk to the network team and identify/fix the issue. Thanks for posting!
I was told by the sales representative that it’s 5000 mbps down.
Why does this page advertise 5 Gbps download speeds, if it’s actually capped at 3 Gbps? That would be false advertising.

Official Support TeamIt does say 'up to 5 Gbps' in the terms and conditions at the bottom of the page, so it's not. If you'd like, we can always get you in touch with our Tech Support team.

Your answers are vague and not helpful.
Up to 5 Gbps of what? Under what conditions? How do I reach this?
My plan is clearly capped at 3250 mbps, as my account states. How do I get the full 5 Gbps unlocked?
I also don't see an "up to" or asterisks, the plan page says 5 Gigabit download speed, does it not?

Sorry Vincent86 we apologize for the confusion. After investigating internally and externally we realized that the max download speeds of 3250mbps is an issue. We are gathering account details so send this off to our networking team to get this resolved ASAP.
We were wrong to say that the max speeds was 3250mbps and you should be getting the full 5Gbps download speeds.
We will be sending you a private message here shortly to verify the account and to get some details. Please tell anyone you hear that is going through the same issue to message us so we can send more examples to our network team
I appreciate it, thanks for the update.
I am also seeing the exact same thing. My MyTelus account clearly states a max of 3250 mbps. TELUS_Support can you please help us figure this out?
It looks like the technician I worked with locally has been talking with the "backend support team" of Telus and my speeds are now close to 5000/5000. I'm not sure what they did, but it's working well now.
