TELUS HSPA network screenshot in action!
Late last night we saw Koodo Mobile adding the image of a SIM card to their Activation page, however parent company TELUS also has some news this morning.
A screenshot of what looks to be a working model of switching between their CDMA to HSPA network. The device shown is the Motorola RAZR V3C and hopefully this is not a sign of the future for customers, but it shows a “Service and Support Fees Equipment Exchange” of $25.00. It does show in the screenshot that it’s not applicable, but there is a drop down menu that could have other options. Download speeds are said to be up to 14Mb per second and upload speeds to 5.8Mb per second.

hum… seems like the TP2 would fall in the third selection. I wonder how that’s going to work.

Apparently the test launch for HSPA will be in British Columbia -only-. As early as September.
Since I’m from BC — woo!
Now if they can add their HSPA frequencies to the TP2 then damn…

The Service and Support Fee section is exactly the same as it has been for years- the “Not Applicable” drop down menu is where you choose how you want to waive the fee (if you want to)

Hopefully telus will start advertising some of this info to their customers.

The Telus HSPA network, is presently rumoured to be outas DATA ONLY, due to the limited bandwidth they have available. Telus will still be relying on CDMA for voice traffic. Of course, with the Olympics coming up, BC is the prime bankroll for the Network.

so this is the reason why telus are being a bunch of douche bags and trying to stall globalive, so they can set up their own gsm network.

Ok, to give you some facts.
Telus and Bell are both working together on an HSPA network.
There will be incentive to change your phone from CDMA to HSPA, though I’m not sure what that means.
Aswell, they’re not going to just get rid of CDMA all together.
It will be like Rogers, they will try to slowly move all customers to HSPA. It took Rogers 5-7 years to do this, so CDMA phone users have nothing to worry about.
