when telus forces us to change internet from copper to fibre, does the phone HAVE to use the fibre?
yes it is a plug in the wall phone. others had problems with it. will all phone sockets work for the phone (but not internet) thanks all calling telus is a waste of time as you well know
Yes, if Telus is removing the copper in your neighbourhood and replacing it with fibre-delivered telecommunications, your phone service will be delivered over the fibre network. They will connect to your current telephone wires in your home, so you can use phones as normal.
Anon125 There is no cost they run the fiber install the ONT and the BATTERY BACK UP GIVE YOU A NEW ROUTER and hook up your internal copper lines to the system. They did mime no cost but signed a two year contact. They are going away from copper because cost of maintaining it. rusting connections.
there IS a cost to replacing the phone that has worked for years when the power is out.
Anon125 What cost the six phones i have all worked after the change to fibe. No need to replace. And they all work when power is out i have battery backup. Batts last about 7 hours.
