So this is really 4th hand information I'm trying to make sense of.
A mother of my kid's friend overheard a discussion between her husband and his friend, who is a Telus technician of some sort. I overhear this mother chatting to someone else, recalling the conversation she thinks she heard.
So... granted... this is really weak "information" and I'm not trying to report anything, but rather i'm hoping this triggers something that someone could perhaps shed some light on. Doubtful, but Googling got me nowhere.
The gist is that we're currently on "FIFA" ("not the soccer thing", she says) and paying higher rates for Fiber, but in "3 to 4 months" they'll be switching to "Falcon", and supposedly "rates will be dropping across the board for everyone". She said FIFA was an acronym that started with Fiber and ended with Association, but she couldn't remember the rest. She specifically says the Telus guy said this is inside stuff that's not supposed to get out, "so don't tell anyone".
Does that ring a bell for anyone? The only reason I don't think it is total BS, is why would a couple of soccer mom's be talking about Fiber infrastructure unless it really was something she heard? It came up because the other was complaining about a Telus door-to-door salesman. Also, the ONLY fruit I got from Google was a reference to "Project Falcon" in Vancouver, which is Telus' fiber infrastructure upgrades in that area. But it was unclear if that's upgrading to what all Telus Fiber customers already have, or if it is indeed something even better.
