Telus Outage Report

@TELUSsupport Terrible issues with texting for almost two weeks now. I didn’t know that so many people they have the same problem! I can’t receive or send text, with Telus network, if I’m not with wifi coverage!

Was just reminded @TELUS started harvesting 1.5% from all credit card transactions, pretending the cost wasn’t already built into the price. So I’ve dropped a bunch of channels. 👏🏼👏🏼to the genius who came up with that plan. $2 bad faith price increase just cost you $30 a month.

@Shawhelp Thank you! @Telus technician is finally here - 37 hours later….@Shawhelp you will be gaining some new customers. There are 3 homes that have been without service and if we’d been Shaw customers we would have had our service restored in a timely manner.

@TELUSsupport I pay too much for 3rd world slow internet service at 1629 Salmon River Rd Service. And telus is the only internet provider at this location.

**** @TELUSsupport Telus "BC" and their below standards service provided on Salmon River Rd Salmon Arm. Paying market value for under market service. Way to Nickel and Dime BC.

What if I was unaware of the change of 20GB data from 40GB data? I called emergency video calls 911 and got throttled 20GB soft cap. Telus will be liable for not notifying me of the change of plan without my permission. Now, it is a 100GB data plan for $80

@TELUS @TELUSsupport - I’ve spent 8 hours in the last 3 days talking to various support people - after having had to figure out what went wrong in the first place myself. Every single thing that could have gone wrong had gone wrong. Since I work for you now, wanna know about it.

On hold for @TELUSsupport over an hour & no one available! I message the bot whilst on hold & asked if I’d like to bring my service over to Telus! Yes! Imagine…received a callback within 5 minutes!!?? How does that work @TELUS ??? ****** ****** support for a long term client!

@TerrencePaul5 Super easy to tell a scam When have you ever received prompt service from a Fortis or a Telus Good luck getting a call back If any company phones you with a human on the other end, it's a scam

@TELUS @TELUSsupport after almost 2 hours on the phone again this week to correct my bill, my latest is once again over billed and missing discounts and promised credits. Awful service. I am disgusted with myself that I made the change from @RogersHelps.

@TELUS. I am being blocked from calling customer service to ask to change my connection date from Jan 5th to Feb 1st. Tired of all this bullshit.

Lovely. I opened an email from Telus opted to pay via Clik2pay because I heard it worked for a family member, now I got scammed out of my $480 AND I’ll probably be disconnected. I feel stupid

The best part about Telus is not having to talk to anyone. Or hanging up on support hold because you’re able to do it yourself. The worst part is when you have to talk to anyone. At all.

@mediamorphis @CompBureau Maybe irrelevant, but thought I'd mention it. Recently Telus went to court and won to be able to charge CC fees to consumers if you use that to pay your bill. Funny how all our bills went down by switching to pay thru the bank... Not. As I'm sure that was built into the cost.

@ThymelessC @IceCold_Country @TELUSsupport The Dish is the same as Bell uses and Telus piggybacked off the Bell Satellites. So check out Bell for service . The set top box has to be changed out though

/3 I would like to see the account owner receiving the texts, especially around Christmas! I would also like to speak with a human, about this whole fricken gong show. I stayed with Telus for the customer service, but there’s not event that now!!

@TELUS I've been with telus or over a year, AND HAVE HATED EVERY DAY OF IT!! NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS

@GrantHayter @ElizabethMay @AdamPOlsen I had an emergency refill this weekend at Shoppers Drug Mart and they suggested using the PC Optimum app "Maple" to get a prescription renewal as its supposedly much quicker to get a virtual appointment than Telus Heath. Haven't signed up yet but I will have to soon.

We’ve also turned down cell phone plans from Telus for this reason, and I’ve already told them as soon as my contract is done, I won’t be using their services ever again. I can’t imagine I’m the only one @TELUS

@TELUS stop sending people around knocking on doors. It’s supper time. I don’t give a **** about your “good deal for 6 months” then back to full price. Same goes for you @Bell and you too @Eastlink. I’ll come to you. Alright? Alright.

@TELUSsupport please explain how it takes 2 weeks to email a return label for a return that should’ve happened over a month ago? No responses via email. 2 hours on customer service and no refund issued. @CRTCeng can you help here? I think I’ve been scammed by #telus

@TELUSsupport Thank you for responding! I’ve sent you a PM. I moved from Bell to Telus just last month so really hoping Telus sorts all these issues out before I decide to move back.

@TELUS why does it take 7 days to remove me from your mailing list which I never subscribed to and want to be removed

@altleft_eastend @MrWickDoe @alexposadzki If you're only counting infrastructure. It's the number of companies competing that is the issue. Moreover, if this deal is approved the likelihood that Bell and Telus merge increases. Less competition = poorer service, higher rates, and greater odds of catastrophic outages.

@TristinHopper (Telus and Bell "Share" a national network.) You are NEVER going to get an additional wholesale entrant there because we don't have the population to support one. Retail maybe, but they have and will end up paying high cost wholesale anyway.

@TristinHopper One way to make sure we won't get cheaper telecom (for example) is by forcing new entrants into the market, where they duplicate fixed costs and usually offer even poorer quality service. We have, basically 2 wireless networks: Rogers =1 Bell = 0.5 Telus = 0.5

Fido has better signal than telus

@TELUS - are you still charging a credit card service charge for customers in Alberta?

Wow @TELUS 2.5 hours on the phone on hold to talk to home security retention? Is this what you qualify as customer care? I'm about to go from adding services to cancel all together

Isn’t it fraud to charge for an unwanted, unused, unrequested service? #CRTC #telus
