Netflix streaming to the PS3 was changed recently to dynamically look for the fastest paths. This has implications for those using services such as unblock-us to work around country restrictions.
The solution is to simply enable static routes for the appropriate dns servers. Unfortunately this is not possible with the Telus-provided routers.

I am currently with Shaw, and was able to accommodate this change easily. I was considering switching to Telus because of Shaw's September 9% price increase, but unfortunately this issue is a show-stopper.
My guess is that even if the feature is available in all the Telus routers (which apparently is not), not having root level access may prevent that change anyways.
This Netflix change was made in the last week or so.
