Re: Red Deer, AB - How is there not better coverage in this city?!
You're right about the upload. I wrote the number down wrong, my apologies. And yes, I know what FTTN, but thank you anyway for the explanation. However, the matter still stands that I can only get Internet 50 at my future location, so all this is moot. Shaw is offering triple the speed, up and down. So how that gets to my house and whether its "true fibre" or not is meaningless. When I asked the Telus live agent when I could expect better service in that area, they had no answer. So, do I wait some indeterminable time (a year? Two years?) to "hopefully" get better service? Or do I get the better service that's there now? Not much of a question there. I would rather stick with Telus, but their lack of options is a severe detriment.7.6KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Red Deer, AB - How is there not better coverage in this city?!
Shaw advertises 150 Mbps upload in their fibre 750 bundle. That's MORE than enough and hardly "2000s." I had FTTH in Hinton from Telus, and they advertised it as fibre as well, so keep your Telus fanboy pandering to yourself.7.6KViews0likes2CommentsRed Deer, AB - How is there not better coverage in this city?!
I moved to Red Deer, AB a year and a half ago.... from Hinton, AB, a town a quarter the size of Red Deer. Hinton had fiber, Red Deer does not, at all. I managed to get Internet 150, which is fine. Now, I'm moving again. The live agent I spoke to says the best they can offer me is Internet 50... which is ridiculous. This is 2020, not 2002. Telus's infrastructure in this city is embarrassing. I checked with Shaw. They have fiber available at my upcoming location and any other services I could possibly want. Why is Shaw so on the ball while Telus is standing around like a dumb turtle? Looks like I'll be switching companies in a few weeks. Probably take my family's cellphone plans with with me too once they expire.Solved7.7KViews0likes5Comments
