Telus knocked on my door, wants to install fiber infrastructure on my house
Their cables have been sticking out of my yard (and the whole block) for a couple of months now since they installed them in the summer.
Some guy in a HV vest just knocked on my door and asked for my consent to install infrastructure on my house. He wasn't full of information... just a guy at the end of his day. I told him I'd look this up before I gave any consent.
So I have been trying to look it up. Lots of links to Telus service and privacy statements, nothing at all from the City of Kitchener.
I don't know what consent in this case means. I have internet over cable that I'm quite satisfied with just now, I am not anxious for fiber and would rather not have to deal with it.
I don't feel obligated to help Telus roll out its network, but I'm not a refusenick... just don't want to be pressured.
Does anyone have some actual information about this they would be willing to share?
