The one problem I have is that sometimes when I phone phones which are on Shaw's digital network, I cannot get a connection. This has only been a problem since Shaw entered the market, and I don't know if it is something Vonage is doing, or Shaw is doing, or if it is just a bug. There are a couple of numbers I can't phone although I can receive calls from them, and that is annoying.

I've got an old Telus line that hasn't been used in about 10 years, it's the lowest hanging of all the utility lines tends to get in the way, anything wrong with just taking a pole pruner to it and chop it out of there up to the pole? Or will I short out the system? Shaw won't touch it, and I don't want to call Telus(it's like an old girlfriend).

If I had any old girlfriends hanging around it wouldn't be me with the pruning shears.

You'd be committing vandalism. The demarc point is normally inside the weatherproof grey box on the outside of your house. You cut it past that, you just might short something out, which is certain to get Telus' attention. If you do manage to escape their attention, and you ever decide to switch your ISP from Shaw to Telus, you are going to find out just how much lineworkers charge per hour and callout. In either case, there will be tears.

Thanks http. So Telus still has control over something attached to my house/airspace even though we haven't been together in 10 years,.. should be able to prune up to the boulevard .
Always strings attached.

Another way around it might be to have an arborist fall that rotten tree across the line.

In the last ten years had the lines to either side hit by falling oak tree branches(the size of what some would consider a large tree) so maybe another year or two.
