i've had Telus Optik TV for 3 years now and have yet to experience any outages. It's been extremely reliable.
So have I. Aside from install issues with the installer no showing on me twice, two Saturdays in a row. Once everything was installed I called and politely asked to speak to retentions. I told him how I wasted two Saturdays waiting around. I ended up getting the first 3 months free, the Center ice package free for a year, movie channels free for a year, all my extra packages free for a year.
Cable basically cost me $30 for the first year...which definitely made up for their mistakes
Just moveD and had to sign up with shaw cuz wait time for installation at telus is more than a week vs couple of day for shaw. Cant be without internet for more than a week.... shouldve pre-booked with telus before moving... hope shaw is ok.. Posted via RS Mobile
I'm thinking of switching from Shaw to Telus... In-laws live with us, so no chance of cutting cable as he isn't really computer savvy...
It seems that you get more for your money in terms of the number of channels with Telus.
I know that they are offering a free 42" smart tv when you sign up for 3 years at regular pricing. We would also get 1 pvr and 2 extra digital boxes. For what we want in terms of channels and internet, works out to be $118 plus tax, whereas with shaw we currently pay $118 tax included, but fewer channels than we would get with Telus.
Is it worth it to switch?
Anyone have any ideas or tricks of how to get better value than these offers?
depends on area and installer more than anything else. shitty install/area = shitty service.

I had Telus optik TV and internet where I used to live and loved it, so when I moved I was going to get it again where I am living now the only problem was there couldn't be any modifications to the house as I am not the owner and am just living here.
An installer came to see if there would be any modifications or anything done to make it work, they would have to do a bunch of stuff so I declined and cancelled everything. Than 3 months later I got a letter from Telus saying they are going to send collection agencies after me because of unpaid bills and that they want their equipment that I never even got in the first place back for a service I didn't have It took hours of being on hold with Telus on the phone to sort it out but when I got through to a person and not an answering machine they sorted it out quickly.
I would definitely get it again when I move out as the TV and internet awesome and never had any problems was much better than Shaw that I currently have, I'm not sure where the mix up happened maybe the installer could have said it was installed when it was not
Offtopic: Shaw and Telus have these 6-month promotions all the time for new customers. Is there anything stopping people from jumping between the 2 companies every 6 months?
Nope, which is why the industry is retarded. IMO it should reward long term customers with better deals and new customers should pay out the ass. It's the exact opposite because generally speaking the most loyal customers pay the most well people who flip flop are rewarded. I say fuck em, switch as often as possible. I understand there are reasons this will never happen the main one being your always trying to lure new customers so you're charging them more then they are paying elsewhere isn't going to help that cause.

ANyone's Telus Optik TV crapping out on them lately?
Every minute the TV pops up the Troubleshoot message. Flipping the channel gets rid of the message. A minute later again, same troubleshoot message.

Telus has some really good introductory rates right now. I was going to switch but Shaw offered me a price that wasn't that bad, knocked $65 off my bill for the next 6 months, $15 after that plus knocked $70 off Sunday Ticket. I'm going to stay the 6 months and then see what Telus is offering and do the dance again.
Telus is offering 50 internet and Optik TV with 6 theme packs for $75 (6 months) plus 1/2 price Sunday ticket for new subscribers so it's only $100. Install Tues-Thurs they give you a $50 credit which wipes out the install fee, switch within 7 days they'll give you another $100 credit and this is all with no contract. Future Shop has refurbished PVR's for $100 and the HD Set top boxes for $50, so if you have 3 tv's like me you can buy your own equipment for $200+tax. Probably going to buy the equipment again even though I have no plans to switch right now.
