Hello,

 

I currently have SHAW internet service at my location. I'd like to know if I could add Telus internet at same location as well.

 

Thanks

The answer is yes you can. You will of course be paying for the 2 services...

 

As the delivery is through different cabling it is possible. However, you can not combine the 2 separate feeds into a single feed for your internet. There is equipment that will do what is referred to as failover. That is were if one of the feeds fails the other takes over so that your downtime is minimal.

 

Bonding the 2 feeds between multiple companies is possible, however a very expensive task to accomplish and really not recommended for the average user at all...

 

Hope this helps.... Cheers....

When you get the TELUS service installed make sure the tech knows your coax cable is active to make sure they don't disconnect it thinking you won't be using it.
