I'll be offline starting on Friday.  If nobody hears from me by April 1st it means either Telus has screwed up our internet, our we were eaten by wolves on the drive down.

It's a given that Telus will screw up your internet, you should switch to Shaw who also sucks, but less so than Telus.
I finally got their Shaw Phone and abandoned Telus entirely. 
I do not hate you, nor do I love you, but you are made out of atoms which I can use for something else.

I thought you said Edmonton would be even colder? Something about it being so far inland IIRC.
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

The Yukon is pretty far inland, but also 1200km farther north.  It is rare that Whitehorse is warmer than Edmonton.

I don't mind Jetslove, even if it has taken over the hockey thread.  The Apple love is dangerous though.  I worry sometimes that Beeb might fall to Martinusism.

I went the other way and am all-Telus.  Got the internet/tv/phone combo.  I'm doubtful of phone over IP - I like having a dedicated line.  That way when the power goes out (like it did today - Yukon Electric can burn in hell :ultra:) I'm still able to make a phone call.

The jets one is kind of time limited.  Eventually I will get my team back.  :)

Did you not have to pass a psychological exam to get new job?
As this delusion you have one would think would keep them from hiring you.

The adapter comes with a battery.  Mind you, I only use cordless phones, which wouldn't work in a power outage anyways, so it doesn't make a difference.

I think you will come to rue the decision to go all-Telus.

Come summertime, Katmai will be our only rep in the Far North (not counting Sweden...which I won't).

Indeed.  They are terrible.
