BC/AB only $105/mo 600KB/sec ADSL, landline, unlimited LD CAN/US + 1000asia/euro

[st7860]

call 1-888-811-2323 to order. this plan is not published on telus.com

$105/mo + tax. NO long distance admin fee with this plan

you get

1. Internet
6.0 speed downloads(600KB/second) on ADSL. no download limit. no traffic shaping. bittorrent goes at full speed.
1.0 speed uploads(110KB/second) on ADSL.
telus (in BC anyway) doesn't use PPPOE nonsense. real DHCP IP's without needing the overhead of PPPOE.

2. REAL LANDLINE, no internet phones, no 'digital' cable phones
- with 6 calling features of your choice(call display, call waiting, whatever)
- unlimited calling to Canada and the USA
- 1000 minutes per month to Asia and Europe(most big countries).



of course if you want something cheaper, www.italkbb.com is cheaper at $25/mo for worldwide unlimited calling, but thats an internet phone, and so will sound like crap.

Is this plan for home or business?

What are the limits/bandwidth? 500gb/month or something?

[st7860]

its a residential plan. there is no limit in real practice. there is an 'official' limit of 60g per month. you can go to www.dslreports.com and look in the telus forum.

under either of these conditions with telus adsl you have no limit

a) telus TV together with any ADSL plan
or
b) no telus tv but with the 6.0 extreme plan

the reason is because either A and B force you to be on an ADSL2 port, which currently do not have tracking ability.

is this a retention offer is it available to new customers??

Haven't been with telus for a year now and would love this amazing deal


Do i have to ask for anything In specific

Thx

[st7860]

no. its not a retention offer. you just call 1-888-811-2323 and ask for everything to be bundled together as described above. you don't need to argue with or negotiate with or threaten to cancel with anyone. just ask for that $105/mo plan that includes extreme internet, 6 features, and unlimited canada/US calling. they have a small $85/mo one too, but then you don't get as many long distance minutes, and the internet is slower.

[tangaboy]

bummer, just called telus (i am already a customer) but 6.0 is not available in my area so signed up for 3.0 with everything else same as OP mentioned for a little cheaper.
by the way, to get the rate OP mentioned you have to agree on one year contract or else they charge 5 bucks more.
thanks OP.

[zwanzig]

so if I sign up for this plan as a new customer, I would get the new signup bonus as well?

Shaw

$55/month = Digital Phone
$40/month = 10 Mbps Internet
_________

$95/month = Faster Internet, and more phone features.

[st7860]

shaw limits the speed of your downloads unless you're referring to normal browsing and FTP activities, and there is a strict traffic limit as well.

and furthermore, their phone service is an IP phone, its not a landline.

if you want an IP phone there are plenty of competitors that offer it far cheaper than shaw's rate.

[ecgz88]

Yeah, I would say Telus deal is better than Shaw

shaw limits the speed of your downloads unless you're referring to normal browsing and FTP activities, and there is a strict traffic limit as well.

Nope... my torrents are not limited, I get d/l speeds of over 1 MB/sec and upload at full speed (110 KB/sec). And they don't really enforce the limit if you have the extreme speed - I d/l around 150 GB a month...

As well, the phone will work even if your internet is not.

[st7860]

really? so you're trying to say that you can download 150gb on a 100g $45/mo shaw package? when did they implement this new non-enforcement policy?

same thing with the torrents, when did they implement the no blocking policy? if you can provide proof i'd even sign up with shaw.

If I'm currently on a 3 yr plan (it's been at least 2 years now) with 1 year left, can I still go to this plan without penalty? Also, does the asia minutes include China and Hong Kong? Wish there was info somewhere that I could read. Thanks.
