The day before yesterday, the Telus technician came to my home, a townhouse. He installed the PureFibre Internet connection.
In the utility room in a separate building, he installed a converter, a Fibre cable plugged into it, and an RJ11 with two copper wires out to the existing old copper wires. I believe the old copper wires are the same old as the 50-year-old building. The other end of the copper wires is in the basement of my house. He installed a small device that needed power, with two ports. One is connected to the copper wires. The other port is connected to the Modem. The Modem is a standard NH20T. From here I got the regular Cat5e cable to my router.
Everything behind is my own network devices. I don’t need to change anything of the internal settings.
I keep the Telus router. I don’t use it. I have not opened the box.
Let me see the comparison.
Before:
I use CIK telecom service. I started to use it in June 2013.
British Columbia_S_2021_Tier5_CableExtreme_100M/10M, I paid $55.99 including tax.
The download speed is 100M, upload is 10M.
The speed test results are shown above. It is the same as what they promised.
After:
Then, I switched to the Telus PureFibre Gigabit plan, 940Mbps download, 940 Mbps upload.
It is good. I am happy to see the speed above the 800Mbps.
It is only the third day. I will keep using it. At least I can cancel in 30 days if I am not satisfied with it.
My internal network is 1 gigabit. Some are 2.5G. So the speed is good enough for me. The first bill from Telus is not out yet. I remember it should be around $55 before tax.
