We've had ours all over the province and it works fine.Don't think we've been charged any extra.It doesn't work in Sask though.

They limited how many in our area, as I know others tried to get one and telus said there full in the area
Ours still seems good, still have 3 watching Netflix all at same time so...
Make sure you get the battery for it so if Power goes out, it works still for 3-4 hours

Hi Tom,
Funny you should ask as I called them on Tues in a follow up from two weeks ago as I find it very slow pretty often. I bought one just for the lake in Salmon Arm and according to Telus they realize the speeds slow in the summer simply due to the excess demand from tourists etc. So, they are going to upgrade the tower but they could not give me a time frame other than sooner than later. Otherwise it has been working great before end of June.

Mine tested at max 4.5mbps and low of 0.35 last weekend. I also couldn't find a parking space downtown.... or at the beach and my favorite beers were sold out!

We take ours camping and road trips all the time. As long as there is Telus cell service you are good. Worked on trip to Kelowna too other than the dead zone of no service between Jasper and valemount.

Yeah you should be screen shotting that and complaining to Telus on a daily basis.
You paid for LTE speeds -- you should get LTE speeds. It's in your contract.

I’ve had one for about a year. No problems with speed. Still a lot better than xplorenet.

Had ours for a year and a half or so, when we first got it we had speeds of 40 plus, it was awesome. They just keep getting slower and slower, last night I was under 1-mbps for a lot of the evening. Some days I'm as high as 14, mostly around 7 to 10, but the afternoons and evenings are brutal!!

I can tell when the kids all get home from school. Summer time it's always slow. Gamers.....

cant imagine looking back at my youth and say "yup I had a great summer in my dark basement playing video games". What a waste of opportunity to be a kid and play outside or hang out with friends at the local swimming hole.

Wife was on the phone for an hr, and customer service says they can't garuntee speed. Said they need to do a study to see if more data is needed. Lol
2 of my buddies work for Telus in town and do many service calls a week each for slow service. All due to to not enough service available.
Funny how the corporate office doesn't know what field offices are having issues with....

Really the only way to get any action out of the carrier's when you have an issue is to send a quick email to the CRTC.
They put foot to ass.
