Telus Internet

Telus’ PureFibre X internet tier, with download and upload speeds of 2.5Gbps, is now available for customers in Lower Mainland and the Fraser Valley area in British Columbia.

“TELUS PureFibre X gives entrepreneurs, start-ups, home-based businesses, students and workers access to the fastest Internet speeds available anywhere in Canada from a major provider,” reads Telus executive vice-president Zainul Mawji’s statement. “We look forward to connecting our fellow British Columbians to PureFibre X and supporting these communities as they continue to navigate the pandemic, and attract new industries and innovators to drive economic growth in British Columbia.”

The carrier claims its service offers the fastest speeds in Canada compared, and it is the only major provider in Western Canada to offer a 100 percent fibre optic connection to the home.

A Wi-Fi 6 compatible router is included with the PureFibre X internet connection, allowing for multiple connections and simultaneous 4K streaming, video conferencing, gaming, and more.

This comes soon after Ookla’s Q4, 2021 Canada Market report that named Telus the fastest mobile operator in Canada. However, the report named Shaw the fastest for broadband.

Telus is offering a limited-time promotion where you can get a free 55-inch Samsung 4K HDR Smart TV (Samsung 55TU7000, available for $848) if you get a Telus internet and Optik TV connection.

The promotion requires you to sign up for Telus’ ‘Internet 75′ plan, which, as the name suggests, offers 75Mbps download and upload speeds. The plan costs $100/month and you have to enter a two-year term.

You also need to sign up for Telus’ Optik TV where you can choose which live TV and streaming services you want, at no extra cost. The Optik TV plan will cost you $78/month for a two-year term.

So that’s $178/month for Telus’ internet and Optik TV connection, which is guaranteed to stay the same for the two-year contract. By the end of the contract, you’d have paid $4,272 + taxes. Further, Telus is offering free installation and hardware rental, and a $200 bill credit if you place your order online. “Bill credit will be applied upon order completion and will appear on your first bill after activation,” reads Telus’ promotion page.

So effectively, you would pay $4072 + taxes over the course of two years and get a 75Mbps upload/download speed internet, Optik TV connection with your choice of channels and streaming services along with a 55-inch Samsung 4K HDR Smart TV. Learn more about the promotion here.
