Is anyone's Telus internet faster now?
 
I'm on a 15 Mb/s plan. My downloads previously capped around 1.7 MB/s. They've recently gone up to 1.9 Mb/s.

You're just finally getting what you pay for...

1.9MB/s = 15.2 Mb/s

Mine has been extremely slow for the last month. Worked perfect before.

my telus internet is great, never down, always max speed, wifi router handles a gangbang of devices

except my bill says shaw for some reason

and the internet usage cap seems weird too with telus.

One thing that often gives people confusion is the difference between a Megabyte (used for file size) and a Megabit (used for download speeds). People often assume that a download speed of 1 Megabit per second (1 Mbps) will allow them to download a 1 Megabyte file in one second.

My upload speed is slow as shit. Download seems a bit inconsistent as well.

1 byte = 8 bits is all you need to remember.

Heres mine with Telus25 package.
Seems slow as f*ck especially with my telus router about a meter away from me.

Signal dies off even more when im upstairs. Basically impossible to use with ps4 for streaming purposes with this crappy wifi.

Any ideas how i can solve my signal issues?

the telus wifi routers are shit. get yourself a separate wifi access point.

No, this is average. How are you getting such high upload speeds?

I had the same problem. Got a PowerLine and it fixed my lagging issues. If you do get one, make sure to get the 2000 gigabit version.

You talking about this one?
D-LINK DHP-701AV Powerline AV2 2000 10/100/1000 Gigabit Starter Kit - NCIX.com

How does it work exactly? Do I just plug it into an outlet and it generates stronger wifi signal? Sorry, I'm not great with computers...

Groot 05-27-2016 08:15 PM

Yeah I got the exact one.one goes into your router and one goes into your computer. It uses the electrical wires in your home to connect to eachother. Like a ether net cable. There's no need to download anything to use it either. Simple plug and play.
