After an e mail to a marketing manger and action on his part, a second techie booking was made for today, Oct 2, some 2 months after this static thing started. As suspected, the problem was in the wiring from the green box in the alley to the house line. 41 years can do that to a cable. The tech replaced something in the green box, worked over a couple other connects, and the result is a livable 85% improvement. In fairness to Telus, this area is slated for fibre optics in late 2023 so they are caught between replacing old cable and laying the new. However, it seems they are able to do some patching for now but only, it seems, if really pushed. For now, kudos to Telus.
