Qualifications
Qualification for TELUS High-Speed Internet with Smarthub:
- TELUS provides Smarthub services only in selected communities to ensure that customers using internet service in these areas get an optimal experience.

. Can I move my Smart Hub once it’s installed?
No. Internet through your Smart Hub is a fixed connection that can only be used at your designated service location.
If you do move it, your internet service will be blocked and you will be notified via Email. In order to regain your internet access, you’ll need to move your Smart Hub back to its designated service location or follow the instructions from the Email to get your service unblocked.
What if I’m not receiving the block Email?
- To receive service notifications via email, you will need to have a valid email address on your TELUS account. Please check your TELUS My Account profile to ensure your email address is correct.
Will I be able to stream videos well at 25Mbps?
To give you an idea of what you’ll be able to stream, here are some recommended settings for popular streaming services:
YouTube video quality speed requirements
- To view 1080p video, you should have a download speed of 8 Mbps
- To view 720p video, you should have a download speed of 5 Mbps
- To view 480p video, you should have a download speed of 2.5 Mbps
- To view 360p video, you should have a download speed of 1 Mbps

How much Wi-Fi coverage will I get with a Smart Hub plan?
There is no simple rule to calculate the amount of coverage a Smart Hub will offer. For everyday use, like surfing websites, streaming videos or sharing photos, it will provide great coverage throughout your home.
The speeds you can achieve within various coverage areas varies with distance from the Smart Hub, along with other factors.
Your Smart Hub will be able to provide coverage throughout your home. On average, maximum speeds and best coverage are achievable within 2000 square feet around your Smart Hub. As you move into further coverage zones, your speeds will slow down.
The size of each coverage zone depends on your usage and your home's unique characteristics. Some key factors that impact your Wi-Fi coverage and speeds include:
Your surroundings
- Home construction materials that block Wi-Fi signals
- E.g. concrete, brick and heated floors
- Electronic devices that emit interference to your Wi-Fi signals
- E.g. microwaves, baby monitors and bluetooth speakers
- Home decorations that reflect or distort Wi-Fi signals
- E.g. mirrors and fish tanks
Positioning your TELUS Smart Hub Indoor Unit:
- Place the Smart Hub above ground and near a window and on an elevated surface such as a table or shelf. If you have a multi-storey home, the highest floor is best and preferably near the connected devices.
- To ensure the best experience, we suggest moving your Smart Hub throughout your home and conducting a speed test (https://telus.com/speedtest) at each location with only one device connected to the hub and the hub connected to it by ethernet cable. The location that gets the fastest download speed should be where your Smart Hub is placed.
- Foliage can impact your Smart Hub connection, which can impact speed. Again, try moving the device around in your home following the steps above if you notice a drop in speed in springtime.
- Avoid placing the Smart Hub on the floor, in basements or in closed-in areas like closets or cabinets. Also avoid placing near mirrored objects, fish tanks or objects that may obstruct the signal.
- If it’s in a location that is surrounded by other electronic items (see a list of items under Minimize radio interference below) move it away from these items to ensure you have good signal strength
Minimize radio interference:
Some devices may cause interference with your Wi-Fi signal if they are within close proximity (8–10 feet) of your Smart Hub. If possible, try removing or turning off sources of potential interference. Try to relocate the following away from your Smart Hub and Wi-Fi devices:
- Cordless telephone base station
- Other wireless modems or routers
- Dense or metallic objects (file cabinets, brick walls etc...)
- Copper or other metallic pipes
- Appliances such as: microwave ovens, air conditioners and television sets
- Garage door openers
- Building materials
- Bluetooth devices
- Wireless speaker system
- Baby monitors
- Wireless security cameras
- Certain monitors and LCD displays
Sharing your Wi-Fi bandwidth:
- Your Wi-Fi bandwidth is shared across all connected devices in your home. Using up this bandwidth can impact the speed and performance of your device.
- Some devices connected to your Wi-Fi may automatically use bandwidth. If you do not require your device to be connected, turn it off and this should help free up some bandwidth
- If you find you are consistently using more than what your plan allows, consider upgrading your plan
Wi-Fi congestion:
- Sharing the same frequency can slow down or disrupt your Wi-Fi service. This is particularly problematic in multi-dwelling units where a neighbour’s Wi-Fi can be operating on the same frequency.
If you continue to experience congestion issues, contact us to discuss other solutions.
Other Factors:
- Your personal device's age and technology limitations
- Older smartphones and some newer smart TVs have fewer Wi-Fi antennas
- Your Internet speed plan
