A new customer recently came to us complaining of a really bad Internet connection with their previous ISP. Their existing ADSL (DSL) service was quite far from the Telus Central Office (or CO) which resulted in a very slow Internet connection. ADSL is distance-sensitive, so the further you are away from the Telus CO, the ...
Recently I was working with a new customer whose Calgary business was looking for an E10 Fibre internet connection.
