Telus TV - Is it worth making the switch?

My review of Telus TV is current to the summer of 2009. Some Telus TV reviews that you find online will be outdated. Be careful of those. You can trust my experience of switching from Shaw TV to Telus TV because it's current and accurate. You can learn from my mistakes when dealing with setting up your Telus TV. I can save you some time from being on hold when calling into Telus TV for assistance! Telus claims the future is friendly. Let me tell you the reality in my Telus TV review!

I live in Vancouver BC. The economy in Canada is good, but we all want more for less right? Since March 2009 and I've ditched Shaw cable and plunged into Telus TV. This has been a bumpy road so let me be your guide. I will tell you what to avoid, what to ask, and what to expect. You would think that it would be easy, but you need to educate yourself to make sure you are actually getting what you signed on for.

** Easter Egg: Shh don't tell Telus about this! They say you can't do it. Find out how to record using your PVR and watch a different channel at the same time. Will be added in this next week. (for fun I will bury this in my review somewhere)

In my opening comments I can only recommend that you read everything that I have to say about my Telus TV experience. I dealt with internet speed issues, so I will add more information in my full review. It's not fair to say good things or bad things about Telus TV until I'm certain that I'm satisfied with the switch or if I'm looking for a refund. If you live in Vancouver like I do, then you at least need to consider making a switch for full on Telus.

For the record, I am no way associated, affiliated, or pro Telus. I'm simply an individual who wants to get more service for less money. Vancouver BC and any part of Vancouver city is expensive. Paying less for anything is always a good option to at least consider. Telus and Telus TV is nothing to fear. Saving money should be your primary consideration for switching from Shaw TV to Telus TV.

The Motivation:

Simple. It's called money. Ever heard of bundles? Usually when I get a phone call during my dinner I know it's somebody selling something. I don't give these people the time of day. Looking back on my mentality about hearing out Telus TV and their suggestion of me taking a bundle, I was an idiot. I had Shaw basic cable and Telus phone and internet. Having two different providers for your television and telephone service in British Columbia of Vancouver is simply nuts. Correct this as soon as possible! You are throwing away money!

I live in Vancouver and Telus TV was available for quite some time to me. I knew this, but I also heard some horror stories. Bottom line is, my dad got a bundle without Telus TV and he was saving big money plus he got a faster internet connection speed! I looked into what bundles were available and yes, my jaw dropped! So who was the idiot? I was for not listening to Telus when they called and tried to save me money. Call this lesson #1.
