Experiencing issues with your TELUS internet connection? Don't worry, we're here to help. This guide walks you through some common troubleshooting steps to get you back online. 

Verify Your Modem and Router Are Turned On:

 Ensure your modem and router are plugged in and powered on. Check for any lights on the devices that indicate a problem, such as a power light being red or a blinking internet light.

  If you suspect a hardware issue, try restarting your modem and router by unplugging them for 30 seconds and plugging them back in. This can sometimes resolve temporary glitches.

 Inspect all cables connecting your modem, router, and devices for any loose connections, bends, or damage. Ensure all cables are securely plugged into the appropriate ports.

  Contact your local power company to confirm whether a power outage is affecting your area. A power outage can disrupt internet service.

 Visit the TELUS website or their mobile app to check for reported service outages in your area.

 Use an online speed test (like [https://fast.com](https://fast.com)) to check if your internet speed is meeting the expected performance levels based on your TELUS plan.

 Restarting your computer, laptop, or other devices connected to the internet can sometimes resolve software glitches causing connectivity problems.

 Run a full antivirus scan on your devices to check for any malware or viruses that might be interfering with your internet connection.

 Look for potential sources of interference, such as cordless phones, microwaves, or other wireless devices operating on the same frequency as your Wi-Fi network.

 If you've tried other troubleshooting steps, resetting your router can sometimes fix network configuration issues. Find the reset button on your router (usually a small button) and press it for a few seconds.

If you've tried all the above troubleshooting steps and are still experiencing internet connection issues, contact TELUS customer support for assistance. They can help diagnose more complex problems and, if necessary, schedule a technician visit.

Troubleshooting Internet Connectivity Issues

Knowing your internet speed and data usage is essential for ensuring you have the right TELUS plan and enjoying a smooth online experience. This article provides insights into these key aspects of your internet service.

 Internet speed measures how quickly data is transferred between your devices and the internet. It is typically measured in megabits per second (Mbps). The higher the Mbps, the faster your internet connection.

  Your TELUS internet plan specifies a maximum download speed. This is the theoretical speed you can achieve under optimal conditions.  Actual speed may vary based on factors like network congestion, device performance, and distance from the TELUS network. 

 Data usage refers to the total amount of data you consume while browsing the internet, streaming content, downloading files, and using online services. Data is measured in gigabytes (GB).

 The amount of data you use depends on your online activity. Streaming videos or downloading large files consume significant data, while browsing websites and checking emails use less.

  You can track your data usage through your My TELUS account online or app. This helps you understand your data consumption habits and avoid exceeding your data plan limits.

  If you exceed your data plan limits, you may incur overage charges. Keep an eye on your data usage to prevent unexpected costs. 

 Select a TELUS plan that aligns with your estimated data usage based on your typical online activities.

 Streaming videos at higher resolutions (like 4K) consumes more data than streaming at lower resolutions (like 720p or 1080p).

 Instead of streaming large files, consider downloading them when connected to Wi-Fi to avoid using mobile data.

 Many apps offer settings to limit their data usage or download content only over Wi-Fi.

 Disable auto-play features on websites and social media platforms to prevent unwanted data consumption.

 Regularly updating your devices and apps ensures they run efficiently and optimize data usage.

If you have questions about your internet speed or data usage, or need assistance with managing your plan, contact TELUS customer support. They can provide guidance and troubleshoot any issues you might encounter.
