Telus has started using an SFP module to remove the need for the optical network terminal (ONT) box. This allows for just the Actiontec T3200m to eventually be the only needed hardware. I don't know if the T3200m can use its phone ports for phone, which are on the ONT. Thread on an install: https://www.dslreports.com/forum/r32052910-BC-Telus-Purefibre-experience-Overall-Extremely-Happy-SFP-install . edit: July 12 2018. July 13 2018 to July 16 (special deals?), Telus will make the 250/250 into 300/300 (due to Shaw's new package of Internet-300/20). Areas stuck on 150/150 will then have 300/300 available. Pricing is uneven though. Interesting pricing depending on region, so far. For 300/300: Regular $90 interior BC (in the already existing Gigabit towns). $110 regular for random town...White Rock BC (formerly maximum Internet-150/150).

Telus is also preparing for a move into fifth-generation wireless technology, which Entwistle expects to begin commercialization by 2019 and ramp up thereafter. . There is a difference between "PureFibre" and "Fibre" areas, in regards to pricing and packages. Messy. . For the faster speeds and heavy usage... Don't forget the "unlimited" add-on for $15 extra https://www.telus.com/en/bc/internet/new/unlimited-data-usage . both of these links, towns shown, slightly differ at posting time Telus is updating their pages to remove the fibre.telus.com pages https://fibre.telus.com/ ####################################### telus.com/en/bc/internet/fibre/communities https://www.telus.com/en/bc/internet/fibre/communities ########################################## . .

The Fibre Optical Network Terminal (ONT) is the Telus modem. You can plug your personal router to the ONT and get service. If you also have Optik TV, you can plug gigabit switch to the ONT and use your router to one port with the Telus Actiontec to another port on the switch. You will get 2 WAN ip address (1 for each). Using your own router for both TV and Internet, you have to deal with TV multicast which can overwhelm your Wifi and shut down your router connectivity. You should also be able to use the Actiontec T series port1 bridge mode while on fibre. The Telus call center script readers will not support anything beyond their all in one Actiontec gateway. So deal with your own issues with your equipment. The ONT also has 2 POTS (plain old telephone service) ports for your phone, which can be adapted to connect to your current house phone lines if you don't have cordless phones. The ONT install might not be supplied with a UPS(uninteruptable power supply) if you don't subscribe to Telus home phone. You can use your own UPS to power the ONT. . ####################################### telus.com/en/bc/internet/fibre/communities https://www.telus.com/en/bc/internet/fibre/communities ########################################## .

This amount is in addition to the $13.7 million that TELUS has already committed to investing in its incumbent territory. By 2021,TELUS will have invested over $300 million in its fibre-optic network. “Thanks to the support of the federal and provincial governments, we will be offering high-speed Internet access to 99% of the population of Eastern Quebec by 2021,” said François Gratton, Executive Vice-President, TELUS Partner Solutions, and President, Business Solutions East and TELUS Québec. “Since 2013, we’ve invested upwards of $300 million to expand our fibre-optic network in Quebec so that thousands of residents, businesses and public establishments can have access to a world-class network at competitive prices. “Thanks to the power of fibre, connected cities and towns will become regular users of the latest technology, which will enable 148 communities in Eastern Quebec, along with the 172 communities where we already offer the service, to connect at speeds almost 20 times faster than the new standards recommended by the CRTC,” . .
