Going from 30MBs cable to 150/150 fiber next week

Stinking cable bill kept going up so I am switching to Telus and saving over a grand in the first 6 months on fees and then about $40.00 per month after. I will get less TV but a whole lot more internet. 500MB Youtube upload in less than 1 minute with fiber. 1TB data limit per month. Will keep you posted.

I suspect I will be able to see the future with such great internet powers, but I am responsible and will not alter the future by disclosing it in advance.

 

How much will you be paying a month in total now?

 

Currently paying $205.00 canadian for cable tv, 30mb net and home phone. New service includes 150/150 internet, tv and home phone will be about $165.00 canadian

 

I pay £50 for TV (basic package) + 50Mbps broadband so not much cheaper in UK...

 

The difference between 50 and 150Mbs was $5.00 plus you go from 300GB to 1TB of data per month for the extra $5 bucks.

 

LOL.. Here with unlimited data on all packages.. Going from 50Mbps to 100 is like £15/month... Too much lol and for me 50Mbps is pretty good already..

 

Well its here and shes damn fast. Pages dont load any faster, but downloads are insanely fast. I downloaded an app for my tablet and it took less than 1 second where normally it takes a lot longer than this did. I will have to upload a video to Youtube and see how that goes. This much internet speed is not necessary but its going to be a real treat to have.

 

Pfffft I uploaded a 5+ minute youtube video and it took about a minute to upload and Be ready for viewing. Simply amazing.

 

My internet went up to 60Mb now... What an upgrade lol..

 

Thats with wired connection. I get the same results anywhere in my home with WIFI also. I do have a range extender.

 

Nice, it's about time they offer decent upload speed. Took them long enough to get there...

 

Lol my upload speed is 10Mbps... So slowww....

 

I was on fiber in the late 90s with 10Mbps synchronous here downtown. We had a small isp (pacific place communications) that offered this for $40 monthly. They are long gone and Novus took over with sync speeds up to 100Mbps on their business packages. They used to offer sync speed on their home packages but have moved to a async in recent years.

I'm on their 50mb business package and it rocks, and no blocked ports so you can host anything you want.

 

I uploaded a 2.5GB video to Youtube this morning in 4 minutes. THen it took 15 minutes for them to convert it for there servers.



It took longer to move the video from my USB 3 HDD to my laptops HDD than it did to upload the file to Youtube.
