This is the exact reason I went back to 750.
I upgraded to gigabit for a few days but consistently saw the speeds you have there.
With 750 I consistently average 780d/u.

Was helping my neighbor improve his network performance, turns out he got DSL from Telus for almost nothing. Dual DSL to get 50 package, which actually tops out at 60mbps!

Those two thunderstorms that came thru here really fucked something up. I'm only getting 40Mb down and 80Mb up now. Did all the resets already.
Edit: Seems to be back working again.
I'm not sure if it was addressed somewhere here. But if I have the fibre running straight to my SPF prot on my router (no ONT or modem), can they hook up the phone lines through legacy twisted pair?
I thought Telus ran their home phones off of LTE these days haha. Is twisted pair even still active?
You can ask but I think they rather do a full fiber install. I'm sure at some point they're going to start to remove all of the old hardware where they've push out fiber to.
You can get a Telus Wireless Home Phone. It's from the mobility side so you need a cell with them first. I tried to get that but with my EPP mobile account it was twice as much as the phone line in a bundle (can't get a discount if you have EPP account). --- This might not be true looking at the webpage now. Things might have changed since I asked back in May. ---
That's how ours is setup (there's 2 pots ports).
I want to skip the ont
Used 100% of my home internet plan's included data. (1024GB) Cycle resets in 7 days.
First time for everything. I believe Series X and downloading those games is the biggest factor.
Yeah, I used 2TB in November lol, I'm assuming due to new consoles. I have unlimited though.
I also got the new wifi6 modem/router from Telus. I was having some random buffering issues for the first time in 4 years. I think the old one was starting to go.
I used to have the unlimited 150 plan promo (had to resign for two years to get it) but I switched to the 750 plan and lost the unlimited promo. Usage history indicates we use around 450 - 700GB of data per month so I didn't bother with the $15 extra charge to get unlimited internet. Yah the overage fees aren't that bad. I don't think the data cap will be a problem going forward so I'm just going to leave it where things sit and see what next month brings.
Those are rookie numbers.

Hah my house uses under 300 gb most months, and highest in last 12 months is 330 gb.
Gaming services like Stadia can eat ~16 GB/hr/stream, Netflix 4K is around 7 GB/hr/stream, YouTube 4K is around 10-20+ GB/hr/stream depending on bitrate, game updates/downloads can easily be 150-200 GB, automated photo/video backups can be hundreds of GB or more, etc. I don't know what my exact usage is but I'm sure it's way over 1TB/mo.
