Re: Internet Plans Not Available at our Address
Interesting way you phrased that - So how does one get Telus to run a drop to our homes? Fiber was installed on the poles here 4 years ago now, it's 50 feet away from the corner of my house. I get the same reply from Telus as dwoodbury "Sorry, fiber isn't available at your address..."Re: Long Range WI-FI on 5G modem is no where near what my DSL modem had.
T3200M, WI-FI would work down to my barn, the smart hub doesn't. Granted, I had it in my corner window of my house, same as the smart hub now. So yes, I can see my barn from my window, line of site. Would an extender help? We also have a trailer that sometimes when we have guests, they could connect to wi-fi - but can't now (it's closer than the barn).Long Range WI-FI on 5G modem is no where near what my DSL modem had.
I have a Telus Smart Hub (model ZTE MC8010CA) set to "Long Range" in the WI-FI settings. Why did my old DSL modem have a longer range? I'm on 2.5 acres and my old modem used to reach almost the entire property. This 5G one, seems to go only about 200 feet or so. Normal or is there a hardware issue?Why does it take so long for fiber to be available?
Fiber was installed on the poles in my area in 2019, I have been asking since then to be connected to it. Latest reply was "There isn't a Network Access Point to hook up to". I am in Spallumcheen, yes, it is rural, but there are neighbourhoods even more rural than where I am that have had fiber for several years! Come on Telus, 5G is awful.
