Optic in US

Anyone found a way to watch Telus Optic in the US. Now that Telus has removed vacation suspension we pay for Optic for no service while on vacation in the US. A total rip-off especially now that even a VPN link is now blocked. Come on Telus, this is disgraceful!!

    As discussed in other threads - TELUS's content providers like Bell, Rogers, Corus etc. only have licensing rights for playback within Canada. International IPs have been blocked for years, but they have directed TELUS to block the use of VPNs.

      OK KHR but you are missing the point. If I can’t watch my Optic subscription while away on vacation why did Telus take away the ability to put my account on vacation suspension. Other providers like Century Link in the US give me that option. Please provide an answer to this money grab as it is terrible for your customer satisfaction levels!
