The Hidden Costs of Slow Internet

Every business understands that time is of the essence. However, many fail to realize how much time is actually wasted due to the slow, outdated internet. It’s something your business may have experienced already. Your team is on an important video call with a client, and the feed freezed mid-conversation. Even worse? They could be waiting hours for a large file to upload before they can send it off. This can also impact customer experiences as staff are waiting on systems to load causing delayed service and potential missed calls. These incidents may seem like small inconveniences, but compounded over weeks and months, it quietly drains productivity and can frustrate the whole team.

The dangers of running on old infrastructure go way beyond slow speeds. An outdated network may leave your business vulnerable to inefficiencies, downtime, wasted hours, and even security risks. As COMSOLTX notes, outdated infrastructure can introduce:

• Slow, troublesome performance: Crashes, lag, and spotty connections stop people from working. Staff waste time waiting on computers instead of actually doing their jobs. Customers get stuck waiting too.
• Weaker security: Old hardware and software usually lack the strong protection modern businesses require, leaving sensitive data vulnerable to cyberattacks, breaches and costly compliance issues.
• No room to grow: As your company expands, so does your network. It should be capable of handling more devices and data. Old systems often choke and can’t keep up.
• Behind the curve: Tools powered by AI, cloud sharing, and other modern technology all need strong, fast internet. With outdated systems, you can’t always support these modern demands and you always end up playing catch-up.
• Higher maintenance costs: The older the gear, the more it breaks. Patching and fixing cost money but never actually solve the problem.

And it’s not just about being slow, weak systems make you prone to cybersecurity risks. Older hardware raises your chances of malware, data leaks, and breaches because they can’t keep up with today’s security needs.

Businesses keep moving faster, but traditional cable internet wasn’t built for today’s workload. Uneven speeds, shared connections, and random lag-spikes can be symptoms of a system that’s reached its limit. In short, your network should be an asset, not a bottleneck.

That’s where TELUS PureFibre comes in, delivering not only the speed your business needs to stay productive but also the reliable infrastructure that protects your operations from falling behind.

What Makes TELUS PureFibre Different — Internet Built for Business

PCMag recently ranked TELUS the fastest major ISP in Alberta, underscoring what businesses across the province already recognize: fibre is the most reliable, scalable, and future-ready internet technology. TELUS PureFibre takes that head start and runs with it by offering a 100% direct fibre backbone, specifically designed for businesses where downtime, lag, or security breaches cannot happen.

Why Fibre Infrastructure Beats Cable

Unlike traditional cable, which still uses copper wire, PureFibre carries data exclusively over optical fibre. The difference in structure translates to measurable benefits:

• No Common Bottlenecks: Cable internet tends to taper off during peak times because several people share the same copper line. PureFibre erodes this with single, point-to-point connections.
• No Signal Degradation: Copper cables gradually lose speed with distance. Fibre optic cables hold full speed and dependability over longer sections, with better consistency of service even to companies with huge facilities or many floors.
• Greater capacity of emerging technology: Fibre nearly has limitless bandwidth potential over copper. That's important as AI-based applications, 8K video, and future cloud platforms will keep increasing network demands.

These differences are not just technical. They have real-world impact. In fact, this 2025 comparison of TELUS vs Rogers Business Internet highlights how fibre-based TELUS PureFibre consistently outperforms copper-reliant networks, especially for businesses that require uptime, stability, and equal upload/download speeds.

The CRTC announces that business demand to access higher speed services is growing by the year, and fibre now leads new Canadian broadband deployment by a significant margin (CRTC 2023 Policy Monitoring Report).

TELUS PureFibre’s Main Business Advantage

1. Even Upload & Download Speeds

Most cable connections download faster but upload much slower. That unequal balance holds up businesses while backing up files, syncing to a cloud service, or supporting live video calls. TELUS PureFibre makes uploads and downloads go at the same speed imperative to data-hungry work processes. Compare TELUS Business Internet Plans

2. Uninterrupted Collaboration

Fibre’s low latency translates into smooth video calls, rapid document collaboration and faster cloud apps such as Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, or design software such as Figma or Adobe Creative Cloud.

3. Wi-Fi 6 & High-Efficiency Network Control

Businesses enjoy better coverage across their workspace with TELUS Wi-Fi 6 solutions. Network segmentation takes separate access points for employees, points of sale, and visitors, enhancing security while decreasing congestion. Discover Business Wi-Fi Solutions

4. Unlimited Data + 24/7 Support

Businesses don’t have time to concern themselves with overages. TELUS PureFibre plans feature limitless usage and round-the-clock support to keep operations flowing smoothly, even after hours.

5.Built-In Scalability

At up to 3 Gbps today, and infrastructure that can handle much more, PureFibre gives you a future-proof ground floor. With PureFibre, businesses can scale their bandwidth continuously without having to replace equipment and pay large bills.

TELUS PureFibre Plans To Suit Every Business

No two businesses are alike, and TELUS realizes that. That’s why their business internet plans are custom-built to grow with your company, whether you’re a new startup or an expanding company with many locations.

Here’s what’s included with each TELUS PureFibre plan:

• Secure Wi-Fi 6: Keep dozens of devices running without stopping while safeguarding sensitive business data.

Choosing the best plan is determined by the size of your team and how you access the internet:

• Small Offices / Startups (5–10 users): 300 Mbps should be sufficient to cope with video calls, VoIP, and soft cloud usage.
• Expanding Teams / Remote-Dominant Workforces: 1 Gbps or 1.5 Gbps adds surplus bandwidth to handle many concurrent users, large file transfers, and heavy cloud apps.
• High-Demand / Data-Hungry Businesses: 3 Gbps or higher guarantees real-time video, bulky data processing, and smooth client-facing services.

Real-World Use Cases

Every company hurts with slow internet differently, but the pain is the same: lost time, concentration, and potential. TELUS PureFibre turns that frustration into productivity by delivering speed and dependability that lets teams thrive.

Here’s how various markets gain:

• Creative agencies & design studios: Move giant media files, collaborate in real time through cloud workspaces, and render remotely without bottlenecks.
• Tech & SaaS businesses: Play smooth product demos, drive real-time data synchronizations, and maintain smooth API connections.
• Retail & restaurants: During peak times, keep your POS always up, guest Wi-Fi always on, and ordering systems always live on the cloud.
• Healthcare & Professional Services: Send files securely and move fast, hold telehealth calls without interruptions, and keep portals smooth and lag-free.

A small step up improves by itself. Consider cutting down waiting time for uploads, calls, or connections by 30 minutes per man daily. That’s a whole lot of hours saved over the course of a year, pure ROI that flows directly back into productivity and customer satisfaction.

A Day in the Life: Before vs. After Fibre

Before fibre:

Your sales staff enters into a morning video conference. The connection stalls, voices interfere with one another, and screens freeze. To prevent the call from freezing, cameras are turned off. That afternoon, your design staff tries to upload a 2 GB project document to the cloud. They get a cup of coffee… then lunch… and the document is continuing to upload. By the day’s close, deadlines are missed, staff is frustrated, and customers sit and wait.

After fibre:

The same sales team starts their video conference, this time crisp and clear throughout. Presentations go smoothly, screen-sharing is immediate, and the team concludes the meeting refreshed. That same afternoon, the design team deposits the 2 GB file within minutes, not hours, and gets busy with their next project. By day’s close, deadlines are achieved, clients are delighted, and your business runs with the efficiency that was its purpose.

The Business Advantage

Switching to TELUS PureFibre is not only about being able to get internet faster. It’s about equipping your business with the technology to compete digitally. As more of your work occurs over the internet, customers demanding real-time communication, and workers using cloud solutions to get their jobs done, your internet is not just an ambient background service, it’s the cornerstone of your success.

Cable internet keeps you waiting. TELUS PureFibre drives you forward.

At the end of the day, your internet should be an advantage, not a deterrent. Cable slows you down. TELUS PureFibre advances you with the speed, defence, and reliability your business deserves.
