Public Mobile marketing. Does anyone else find this weird?

[zulu53]

Got a recent email from Public Mobile talking up the use of Telus Health and "Virtual Health".  Ever tried "Virtual Health" at 3G speeds?  Definitely a non-starter.   So what does the email mean.

1.  Telus are unaware of the limitations of Public Mobile?

2. The marketing people are not talking to the technical people (the engineers) - selling a service that cannot be technically supported and does not work/

3.  The marketing people are getting ahead of the engineers, who are about to, but have not yet, released the Public Mobile upgrade to 4GLTE?

Perhaps a moderator would care to comment?

I wouldn't think too much of these e-mail messages. They are likely sent to all Telus, Koodo, and Public customers by default.  They can be opted out of.

I actually find their health offering useful especially their living well companion.

@zulu53  Definitely number 1 & 2.

Except for when it comes time for someone on Public Mobile searching for technical support...then it's "Telus who?"
