Internet TV Bundle Thread

[Nabatron]

I think our new place in west Kelowna doesn't even have telus fibre yet

[dapperfied]

My Shaw contract is ending next month. Gonna ditch cable, looking for a good internet deal!

[Hondaracer]

If anyone is looking for, or just has straight internet with Telus (fiber or not) we have a promotion on right now for our PIK TV, essentially an android box that has a handful of TELUS Optik channels built in of your choice.

You can get HBO, TSN, etc. sales have been shit so were essentially giving it away for free right now, it’s like $20 one time fee for the hardware that’s yours forever, then the service is free for 6 months and $5 a month after that. Excellent opportunity for people who only have 1 TV or just want sports etc.

I’ll post more of the pricing breakdown later today but hit me up if you’re interested. For brand new customers you’re probably looking at about $80 a month for HS50 or 75 and the Pik TV service.

"post-secondary students with a valid student ID are eligible for promotional pricing on TELUS Internet for 8 months, with the first month free. No term contract is required. This offer is also stackable with the Pik TV add-on"

Eligible for both fiber and copper services. Internet 25 would probably be about $35 a month on this deal

Hit me up if interested and i could refer you, as i dont think these deals are available online yet

Does this applies to existing customer.

[Hondaracer]

for existing customers id try to log in and see if you can apply it under your account, i have a feeling only new customers are eligible though.

For the Premium PikTV channels i beleive it's channel dependant, HBO is either $8 or $10 i believe

info (aside from pricing) on channels here:

Can you login piktv using the app?
Also how much to just buy the piktv box instead of renting for $5-$10 a month?

[Hondaracer]

You can use the PIK TV app and watch all the channels you have with PIk anytime on your phone as well as on demand content.

Right now the PiK TV is $25 total, one time fee. It’s being rebated $75 right now. The monthly payment is for the channels you choose, once you’ve purchased the PIK TV it’s yoirs forever. However if you leave Telus you lose the ability to watch the channels obviously and it’s only use is the android box portion of it.

We're moving to Langley and we called Telus to get our cable/internet moved and they said they don't have any service at all in Langley, wtf?

[Hondaracer]

Also if anyone is interested in the Telus BOOST we’ve been pushing it’s actually a pretty decent product.







For those unfamiliar with the tech, these nodes create a “mesh network” a singular SSID broadcast from two different points. When your signal drops below a certain level the device seemlessly connects to the next boost to extend the range of your Wi-Fi network.

TELUS essentially copied Google WiFi which is $400+ for their 3 puck system. We offer this 2 puck starter pack for $120 or on monthly installments. Also a 30 day money back guarantee if it doesn’t work out for you.

If you have decent speeds (50+) and are still having WiFi issues this could be a good solution that is reasonably inexpensive

If anyone is interested hit me up and I can have the kit mailed out to you within a day or so

[DJ Milk]

Do you have to be with Telus to buy it or could anyone buy the kit?

[syee]

Not a bad price for a mesh setup. Does it have to use the Telus modem/router/AP or can it work with any setup?

I think Asus also has their own firmware update (AiMesh) that allows a lot of their relatively current routers to act as mesh AP's if you've already got an Asus router or two kicking around.

I should be getting my PureFibre 300/300 setup this Saturday thanks to Hondaracer. (unless of course Shaw decides to give me an offer I can't refuse)

RS Group Buy?

RS Member/Telus Employee discount?

If you can get the price to $65/unit - interested.

[Hondaracer]

Not gonna be possible most likely. The pricing is already our “promo” pricing as is.

And technically you can use them without being on a Telus network. However the Telus customer “My WiFi app” is what you use to set it up initially and control it going forward. I’m sure using it on a different network you’d get most of the functionality but couldn’t guarantee the troubleshooting etc which you may lose by not having the app. You could also login to the GUI and set things up that way

[corollagtSr5]

Data on the pik burned or waived on optik? How many piks can be used on one account?

[Hondaracer]

Only 1 PIK as it’s made to be an alternative to optic for people with just high speed service. More than one box you’re kinda forced to go with Optik.

When you are watching your “channels” the data does not count, however using YouTube, Netflix etc still counts towards the cap. We offer unlimited data now though for $5 a month and you May be able to swing getting it comped upon sign up.

[Hondaracer]

PIK TV Promo has been extended, so you can get it for $5 a month and $0 a month for the first 3 with an internet subscription (new or existing customer)

There's also some decent deals being tossed around that arent on the site ($80 for the first 6 months TV HS75 and Internet Pick 6 theme packs) and then approx $140 a month thereafter, so Telus pricing is attempting to be on par with Shaw.

Hit me up if interested, may be able to get a free BOOST tossed in on top of any sign up for Internet or TV + Internet

Also some promos for Existing customers getting 1GB of extra cellular data for free if you have services bundled with your cellular services.

[Hondaracer]

Up to $500 credit on 2 year terms now with TV/internet packages.

If anyone is interested hit me up, worst case we can’t save you money and stick with your current setup. We are also doing home security now if anyone is interested, a decent product, completely wireless

[Hondaracer]

its more like metrics to meet referral numbers :/

[VR6GTI]

sounds interesting, a lesson i have learned every time i screw around with "better deals" and cheaper i seem to get the raw end of the stick from Telus.

If Fiber is coming in the next few months you’re always better off waiting to re-up on an agreement once the Fiber is in place because they obviously want everyone on the new infrastructure. It will almost certainly come with a full hardware upgrade and most likely a speed upgrade at the current cost or cheaper than what you’re paying now.

Black Friday deals are still in place until January first with promo pricing for the full two year term on internet service and 6 months on Tv service.

I layed this out for another member who Pmed me but I will explain it here as well so everyone else can be on the same page

I know everyone wants to pay the same cost for the full two year term. However, that’s almost never the best way to save money. The way you usually pay the same cost for the entire agreement is when you take the free gift, ie. TV, google home, etc.

They then figure Ok you got the Tv so now your TV and internet will be $160/month for the full two years.

However, when you take the promo pricing or any sort of break on the pricing, I know it’s annoying when it changes to the higher rate, however the long term savings are -always- better. Instead of getting say a $700 Tv most of the time you stand to save 700/800/900 over the term of the contract.

[Mr.HappySilp]

If anyone using Novus just call in and said you got a special deal from Telus or Shaw. There is some special promo.

Edit: There is currently a new speical promo from Novus for Internet 100 or Internet100 + Cable. Just call and ask about it.
