We have been seeing and increase in the frequency of our optik tv and our internet connection "freezing" this started several months ago and was happening every two weeks or so. This "freezing" now happens daily, even though i have been restarting and re-initializing the Optik TV boxes at least once per week. The TV boxes are direct Ethernet connections to the Telus modem. Most internet users in the home are wireless but the freezing also occurs on the wired PC(s). We have a doubled ADSL connection as Telus has Zero plans to install Fiber to our neighborhood. Has anyone experienced this and if so, was there a remedy? To date online customer service Techs have not been able to replicate the issue and have only recommended that i periodically restart the modem and set top boxes. Given the amount of money my household is paying to Telus each month this has become a waste of money.Solved5.2KViews0likes1CommentPureFibre availability in Ajax
I’ve been told by multiple reps in store and on the phone that I can get PureFibre in Ajax but the website says no. We currently have Bell Fibe and it’s FTTH, so who’s right, who’s wrong, and what’s going on? Does Bell have exclusivity rights on our streets the way they have done in condo buildings?20Views0likes3CommentsCan't log in to Telus Connect app

Everytime I call in to talk with loyalty team member reagrding moving/cancelling my internet service, it gets disconnected after 21 minutes and if i walk-in to store they say they cannot help with cancelling service and I have to call loyalty team but loyalty team seems to always auto-disonnect my call after 20 mins of staying in line. What is going on ?177Views0likes9CommentsMoved within city - Crazy ping difference
Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this. I recently moved within Edmonton and my average ping to pretty much every game server went up about 40-70ms across the board (Seattle, NYC, etc.). I'm on PureFibre, hardwired in. Testing alongside a friend still at near old address, we take completely different routes to the same servers. My traffic now seems to bounce around inefficiently before actually making its way out. I have traceroutes from both locations showing the paths diverge immediately. I tested ExitLag as a troubleshooting step, and it recovered about 50ms, which seems to confirm the issue is in Telus's routing rather than anything on my end. Has anyone had any luck getting Telus to look into a routing issue like this?31Views0likes1CommentStill No Fibre In Varsity Drive......
I moved to Varsity Drive for two years. When I moved into here, there was no PureFibre, but now still doesn't have PureFibre…… But I saw on east of Varsity Drive someone there have PureFibre. Just wondering when I might get PureFibre service, really want to have high upload speed, Shaw cannot provide high upload speed because it is DOCSIS...... There is a back alley that with overhead utility pole and the coax from Shaw are down from there. Is that really hard to make the fibre on it and make it in my house?Solved58Views0likes3CommentsTelus Internet cancellation nightmare: still no resolution!
I’m posting another update here because, true to form, Telus has dropped the ball yet again. I was assured that Cammy, a manager at Telus, would reach out to me directly on April 1st to finally get my service disconnected properly and arrange the return shipping for the equipment. Well, April 1st has come and gone, and big surprise—absolutely zero follow-up or phone call. I am completely fed up with how difficult and exhausting it has been just to close out this account. First, a loyalty agent cancels my service without my authorization. Then, I am told I have to pay over $200 in early termination fees for moving to an area where Telus can't even provide service - completely contradicting what the sales rep told me when I signed up. And now, management cannot even be bothered to call me back when they specifically schedule a time to do so. Can a forum moderator or someone with actual authority please step in and deal with this? I am tired of being passed around, lied to, and ignored. I just want this nightmare over with. What do I actually have to do to get some real customer service here?67Views0likes1CommentPort 80 / 443 port blocking ... again
There are already a few threads with this question, I've already reviewed the relevant documentation: https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/telus-hsia-security-measures-policy --- Port 80 is reporting Connection Timed Out... This is not coming from my router and the tcp connection does not appear to make it to my network (confirmed by closing ports and validating with IPv6 to alternate network devices bypassing the IPv4 rewrite and NAT). Does the above doc need to be updated? I likely would not have switched to Telus if they were transparent about this blocking.

I'm about to schedule the transfer of my internet service to another apartment. Should I be present during the "installation"? Meaning, do they go inside the apartment? I'm just very busy and not sure when and how I can be present for that. It's possible that the apartment already has the modem (not sure, but I saw one in a similar building when I was looking for a rent). If it does, do they still need to physically access the apartment? And what do I do with current modem then? Do they come to pick it up eventually by taking an appointment with the landlord?50Views0likes5CommentsInternet Cancellation
I have tried numerous times to cancel my internet with Telus but they won't cancel it. I've called multiple times and they keep saying the request is put in and someone will call to confirm, but no one calls. They continue to lie and deceive. I would not recommend Telus to anyone.250Views0likes4Comments
