if i got fiber optic by the end of the year, could telus do the whole house in cat 5?
When will telus give people 5 or 6hd feeds like shaw?
why is my hard wire with cat 5e slower then my pvr on my xbox one?
when is there newer set top boxes coming out, i was 3 gens behind on pvr, so i guess there upgrading them fast?
what of codes am i on, i can only get 50 down, what about 100?
Solved! Go to Solution.

I have 3 STB's and 1 PVR, all connected with shielded CAT6 cable. Since I use my own router for Wi-Fi, there weren't enough ports on the Telus supplied Actiontec router. To solve the problem, they installed a four port Ethernet switch that now handles all Optik TV connections. At first, Telus told me it wasn't possible, so don't take "no" for an answer. As long as you have enough bandwidth, I see no reason why you can't simply use a switch with more than four ports. Mind you, if Telus won't supply one, finding the right type of switch and configuring it properly is not a trivial matter.
