Re: is telus speed test the same as google speed test?
I do not have access to Telus's network to confirm configurations, but many years of dealing with ISP's from a personal level to a business level and locating problems on their side for them to fix, myself, and many other technical guru's have shown over the years that speed tests sites like Speedtest.net have priority traffic with in ISP's networks, and it makes sense, as those speed test sites are hosted with in the ISP, so you are remaining with in their networks. It is always good to choose several sites with in an area from different providers to get a more general idea about speeds, and then if possible, find some of the lesser known speed test sites to do file downloads from to see your speeds and compare.

Re: Why is your site still trying to apply 1.5% fee on a Visa DEBIT card...
It does not, it informs about the 1.5% charge after my card info is entered in. (2nd screen shot) Appears to be an issue with their main website, trying it on the mobile app, it does not try to apply a 1.5% fee, so clearly a QA issue on Telus's side with their website vs mobile app.

You are right, companies do prioritise traffic to speed tests sites, all the top known ones, to show people they are fast. And because of the contracts we are forced to sign for any service, their speeds are always only "upto" and only "to" the main connection into the ISPs network. This lets them massively over subscribe their services and use contracts to go "meh, sorry, too bad so sad"

Re: Anyone home?
I have had the same issue, using their site on a computer or anything other than mobile is just painful, slow and only works half the time when you do finally get things to load.

Telus, Why is your payment system trying to charge people for using their Visa DEBIT cards? Also, considering the profits you make, why do you even pass this cost on to anyone in the first place....(even if it is less than what you pay...)
