With all of the digital technology surrounding us today, it's easy to get lost in the wireless world. With new phone service options available, we may ask ourselves, "What exactly is digital versus analog and how does it affect us?"

Digital technology is responsible for the clarity of your TV, the crisp, clean sound of your MP3 player, and the endless capabilities of your cell phone. Likewise, digital technology also enables us to receive telephone and internet service in improved ways.

Are you tired of dealing with traditional phone service providers?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), or "digital telephone service", allow you to make telephone calls via a broadband connection instead of using a traditional "landline" phone service. The benefits include enhanced features and lower costs compared to the traditional service. New phone service options, like the TELUS Smart Hub, are rapidly growing in popularity. The Smart Hub gives you digital phone service on Canada's fastest mobile network.

Do you live in an area without high-speed internet?

Some rural areas in southwestern Ontario don't have access to broadband connectivity. Broadband connectivity delivers more internet information at speeds far greater than dial-up service. Now TELUS offers high speed internet for your home, even outside the range of DSL or Cable. You can get internet access for up to 15 Wi-Fi enabled devices, all from one portable device.
