    The sites load fine for me on fibre and I'm using stock DNS settings on my PC so it's pulling from Telus' DNS. You could try 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 as the DNS servers on your PC and see if they make a difference. (Info on 1.1.1.1)

Used 1.1.1.1. and the sites load properly now, don't fully understand the backend of why but this works.

Hi Telus.

Your customers shouldn't have to use a VPN to be get the internet to work properly with certain sites.

Why should we have to pay for a VPN or a VPN like service (https://1.1.1.1/)  for your problems?

I'm having to use NORD and it's 90$ a year. 

Other devices like FireTV have a hard time finding VPNs that are compatible.

So Telus please diagnose and fix the problem.
