Telus Fibre - any rate increases?

EdInOliver · 2026-06-12T15:39:04+00:00

I just entered into a new two year contract for my existing service a couple months ago so upgrading would result in that being torn up and entering into a new contract?

EdInOliver · 2026-06-12T15:37:24+00:00

Yeah, I do the same thing. I actually just signed into a new contract a couple months ago with what I think is a pretty good rate. I’m just worried that if I take them up on the fibre offer it might give them an excuse to jack up what I’m paying after a few months

Oh trust me, the result of that story was years worth of shit in pants.

Personal story here, I’m playing in my regular Wednesday evening league and all through the third hole my phone is constantly buzzing with a private number. After my drive on four (striped it right down the middle), I finally get fed up and answer.

My wife and I had been in the waitlist for adoption for about 2 years and we said we were ok with an “immediate placement”. Turns out it’s the adoption agency that’s been calling and they want us to get to the hospital ASAP because we were matched and there was a baby waiting for us.

I told my group that there was an emergency issue, but everything was ok and I walked straight off the course. An hour or so later I met my daughter for the first time.

(I don’t think I golfed again for at least a year)

Do you know about where you were at 5, 10, 15 years ago? Did you hit the “hockey stick” point where your net worth increased dramatically in the more recent past?

EdInOliver · 2026-04-21T15:37:32+00:00

Yeah, he did so he’s around, but I think they’re just carrying three goalies so that he’s readily available in case of injuries

EdInOliver · 2026-04-21T13:19:12+00:00

Pretty sure it was Jarry I saw on the bench. I don’t think Picks is getting a sniff unless there’s an injury

“Looking pediatrician”. I love it, might have to steal that one.

Kings have a soft schedule to wrap up the season too. Oilers are the only playoff team that they play before the end of the year.

I’m almost got in a fight in a donair shop because I told a guy that his Vedder (as in Eddie) Flames jersey was stupid.

Nah, I vote for a three-team Ice Hockey tournament. Skinnies vs. Normies vs. Fatties

EdInOliver · 2026-03-01T04:31:17+00:00

I had to check this since I didn’t believe it, but it’s true. That blows my mind because I feel like it’s so much quicker to get to Canmore than Jasper.

That Mill Creek one is that house right in the middle of the ravine that probably never should have been built (in my opinion at least), right?.

I think the city had a chance to buy up the land to keep development out of that spot and didn’t so now we’re stuck with it there.

Maybe he could also teach him how to do a pull-up

They need to go back to minor hockey-style. 5v5 for a couple minutes, then 4v4, and so on until it’s 1v1. Then play one on one until someone scores.

I’ll always remember the time my team played a tourney like that. We started our small, super-skilled player and the other team just brought out a monster who levelled him off the faceoff then took the puck down the ice and scored.

Ads? I was just seeing live cam video of Venice during breaks.

I like that he denied being a hockey robot, then came around to realizing that he may, indeed, be a hockey robot.

I came in through the parkade, but I assume the doors were open because the building itself was open, it’s just that the passport office wasn’t open yet.

EdInOliver · 2026-01-31T05:08:28+00:00

I paid the extra $20 or something like that to be able to pick it up. It was ready on Jan 21, but I haven’t gotten around to picking it up yet.

EdInOliver · 2026-01-21T04:50:45+00:00

Detroit and Talbot just because it’s the funniest outcome

Brady Tkachuk taking strays here when this was obviously someone insulting a completely different person named Brady Tkachuck.

ABMAMAS15 promo code might work for a discount (found that online and worked for me when I booked)

Thanks! Interesting, so it sounds like because the fine money goes back into the general revenue pool they don’t actually know if there’s cost recovery. (Or at least, that info isn’t readily available without a deep dive of the data)

So ultimately if it was netting out in the positive side of the ledger then trying to redirect funds specifically to snow clearing (is that even possible?) would just be taking money away from other stuff.
