I just moved to Wpg from Surrey, BC and need to choose between Shaw and MTS. I had Shaw home phone, high def and high speed internet. I had a nice shaw internet system in BC going. I am a Mac user and use the Airport Extreme Wireless N router with a gigabit unmanaged switch and an Infrant ReadyNAS along with a couple Airport Express units in the home.
I had decided to try MTS Ultimate TV, internet and phone bundle. The guy came yesterday to set things up but could not complete because the movers were unloading and my TV was way in the back of the truck. We decided to reschedule. Thankfully.
I was a little nervous with what he was telling me. I could not use my Apple router and had to use the MTS router. This is all new territory to me. The other thing is that the house I bought is all wired CAT5 throughout the house through a panel in the basement storage room. I wanted him to set up the router in that room, plug it into the panel and then I'd have high speed hard cat5 wired in everyroom as well as wireless. He was unsure about how this whole system worked and it made me very nervous. Also, now I am unsure about the use of my Apple Airport Express router. Is the MTS wireless router wireless N and is it good?
I am thinking about calling the whole thing off but I have family that works for MTS and also have 12 month special pricing.
Please forgive me if this has been gone over before. I did a quick search but couldn't find anything specific to my situation.
I am looking forward to understanding how MTS internet and their hardware works a little more and making sure it will work for my situation.
