If you get a 15.0mb profile or higher with Telus they have to send a tech out. Which means they have to upgrade the whole circuit which makes things much faster. If the line to the house is old(which can slow things down) they change it. They put a filter/splitter in the telephone box which directs the feed to only one jack(faster). Also, they use a better VDSL modem. If you get their lower profiles they usually just send you a modem in the mail.

Friend in PoCo had exactly that done. New line from the pole to the house.

I just have a filter at the box, and it was upgraded when VDSL2 service was added last week.

Yep. They throttle you back if you use too much data, so does Shaw.

What plan do you have with them? That kind of speed looks like their ultra-basic plan.

Edit:

It should be one of these:
