Seems like Telus is launching some excellent 4g LTE smarthub data plans.

Might be targeted to rural AB, not sure, ymmv

$60 for 50gb data usage. And $75 for 250gb

Overage $10 for 5gb data

Might be useful for people out of range from cable, vdsl, and fiber.

Could be really nice in the car, though a bit expensive for that purpose alone.

HOLY MOLY! Does it require contract? It is almost worth it to buy the plan only to gut the LTE hub for the SIM card to put into a phone!

Edit: Only for eligible cities, which are all rural areas further out from lower mainland. I should've expected that...

Officially I believe this requires a "rural" address. Not sure how strict that is though.

Just spoke to a Telus rep. It is only available in Alberta and BC. The Plan is available on a LTE SIM card that can only be used in the smart hub that is included in the plan apparently. The LTE SIM card apparently cannot be used in any other device, or hotspot, which I found very strange (I was hoping to use in a wireless hotspot that I could carry around with me). I will try calling again tomorrow see If I can hook myself up with this plan, I am assuming half of RFDers not located in rural Alberta will do the same thing.

I find something very strange about this plan. It's way too good to be true, they must have the system locked down pretty good or thousands of people are gonna abuse this plan. Am I understanding something wrong?

I almost had a heart attack and am now horribly disappointed that I live in Ontario.

My rural Internet provider is terrible. I pay $100/month for a 7mb connection and it's pretty well unusable at peak. I usually just Hotspot my 6gb telus phone data plan to play computer games.

Bell is terrible. I'd be so nice if they disappeared and Telus took over central Canada.

Would have been nice if they did this a while ago. We live in a small town in AB and a small company called axia is running fiber in our town right now and we should be up and running in a few weeks. This plan is probably to compete with this company and others as we are going from wireless internet for $110 a month for 25m to $60 for the same speed but on a wired and far more reliable connection. Sorry Telus, too late.

I have a telus hub. I know i can use it throughout Canada.
