I was visiting my parents this weekend and they’ve upgraded switched to Telus Optik. Shaw was quite a bit more expensive for them, particularly after the Telus bundle pricing.
Telus Optik bundle offering has Telus TV, ADSL Internet, & (analog) phone. They supply a combo ADSL modem/router/WiFi/Home PNA terminal. My parents previously had their equipment terminated in a closet under the stairs, but Telus connected the ADSL combo in a bedroom with an outside + coax outlet. From there they used the Home PNA network to send the signal to a receiver in the closet.
The installer forgot to check or mention to my parents that they are installing this ADSL combo router, so they had a double NAT situation. We turned the NAT on the old firewall, the Apple TimeCapsule, and all of our computers were on one network now.
Except for half of our iOS devices. The ADSL combo router just didn’t want to give us an IP address, nor did the TimeCapsule want to let our iOS devices onto the WiFi network.
Very strange thing, which I will have to fix soon. I think my dad has started using PingChat on his iPod Touch!
