Just switched over form StarChoice to Telus. So far so good. We have three sets, but no HD (don't really care too much about that, didn't have it before either). Internet still works fine, TV so far has been good. Installation was done well and timely, they fixed up a bunch of other things with the household while here. Got all the hardware plus a fancy Logitech remote for free and the package is cheaper per month that what we were paying. With Starchoice, we were facing having to upgrade most of our boxes due to age and that would have ended up being a $1000 -$1500 expense.

The biggest factor for Telus is the amount of bandwidth getting to your house. We have a good connection and had more than adequate service to run all three boxes and internet. We could have had HD if not for the third box. Perhaps in the future they will make it work, but I'm not that concerned right now.
