Use MCSNET until CCL gets there. Telus hub sucks. Way overpriced, overpromised, underdelivered. Everyone I know with it cancelled.
MCSNET is slowly trying to play catch up with CCL, but too little too late. Do not use CCI.

Ken is it location dependant? Some people in our area say MCS and Explornet drop all the time but Telus is more consistent

It has to be but track record and reviews here is a fairly straight bell curve- MCSNET has great customer service, Telus is not so great, CCI is horrific. I can't speak to Explornet.
Telus is consistent until they run out of bandwith then they say 'oh sorry we oversold in that area, is there anything else I can do for you?'

Have had our Telus hub for about a year and it has worked well. Overpriced but here we have no choice. Paying 85 a month for 250 gigs. Can watch a lot off Netflix for that much though.

I have a buddy that bought one of the original hubs. He has unlimited data, and is not tied to a tower, can use it anywhere in Canada. They keep bugging him to go to another package, lol.
When I looked into it I thought it would be great, could use it in Rupert on the boat. Nope, tied to home tower. Dirty pool that just drives another nail into the 'not gonna use telus if at all possible' wall.

We’ve had it for a few years now. Works great here. We couldn’t get service from anyone else due to location, trees etc.

My son had telus hub in Kitscoty, it was generally under 4mbps. My Mcsnet was generally 8-12 best days, under 3 some. CCL has never dropped under 40mbps and have seen 50+. Also it is unlimited, unthrottled, and 10mbps up for $85.
Lte here we only see 4-6 mbps so the hub is useless.

We had Telus hub for 2 years until we moved to the city. Worked well for us. We had explornet before that and it was terrible. I have the Hub for sale Edmonton area if you want it shoot me a message.
