Telus and the frustrating experience I've had with them.

I live in a 40 year old neighbourhood that was built with copper of course. However, it is common to have two copper lines going to each house so you could have two different land lines with different phone numbers. My current service uses both those copper feeds to give me higher speed. I get about 80 Mbps down and 20 Mbps up. It is called a bonded modem. They basically split the data at the wire center, send half down each line, and then join the data back together in the modem at your house. I find it works well, and my Optik TV works well too. I think I can get about 4 HD channels at the same time. So, you might want to ask to see if you have two lines and if a bonded modem service could be offered.

Telus has spent this summer digging up everybody's lawn to install fiber, and I expect it will to be to my house in the next month or so. However, I can't think of any reason why I would get it, unless they offer it to me at a lower price than what I am currently paying for the bonded modem service. Currently it looks like they will want about 25% more for for fiber than what I am paying now. That is a no go for me.
