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.

do you know what keep drinking the coolaid means?
When was the last time your power was out for more than 7 hours? I can't remember the last time my power was out for more than a few seconds. If you live in a location where the power is that unreliable you need a backup generator for reasons other than just a landline phone, especially in the winter.
