Denman Islanders Report Slow Internet Speeds and Seek Discounts
infrastructure · March 2018 · Denman Island
Several Denman Island residents reported internet download speeds slower than their bills indicate, with some speeds under 1 Mbps. Community members shared tips on how to test speeds and negotiate discounts with Telus, including asking for loyalty agents and threatening to cancel service.
This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
