Did you know Telus DSL and Apple Computers don't mix

Neither did I, until a few weeks ago, while talking to the local Telus technician and complaining about my sub-1 mbps internet speeds. I'm in Tumbler Ridge, where we're supposed to get up to 15 mbps down and 1 up (still a fraction of the 50/10 considered acceptable by the CRTC). "Oh, yeah," he said. "I bet you have Apple devices."


Well, yeah, I do. And it's bad enough that I live too far away from the Telus hub to get the higher high speed, but I get penalized for having Apple products.


Fibre, he said, works fine, but copperline, for some reason, just bogs down.


Great.


So I upgraded to the Wireless Hub, which gets me ... well, about 20 mbps down and still 1 up. At least that's better. Still not 50/10, but better.

The Regional Connectivity Strategy has moved from consultation into implementation. Key milestones have been completed, and committee structures have been streamlined so connectivity items proceed directly to the PRRD Regional Board.

Future updates, decisions and project materials will be published through PRRD Board agendas and the PRRD website at prrd.bc.ca/our-government/plans-reports-and-studies/regional-connectivity-strategy-rcs/.

For questions or follow-up please contact regional.connectivity@prrd.bc.ca.
