  We have had @Xplornet for about 11 years in our current location. Had them before that too. Up until last January I would give them a minus star review. Now 5 stars! Now if our Telus cell service was as good… Thanks for the incredibly positive changes Xplornet!

  So we are now down to not being able to call on weekends or peak times because of over saturation and terrible signal. Neighbour is a nurse and the hospital can’t reach her half the time. Any news on helping out your rural customers? @TELUS @TELUSsupport

  @TELUSsupport Your telling me @TELUSsupport doesn’t have access to Telus support? Really? All I want to know is when Athens Ontario is going to get the tower upgrade we have been promised for over 2 years.

  @JustMeJamie64 @Rogers Telus union isn't even allowed to say out loud the number of employees they still have in Canada, it's lower each contract negotiation even though number of errors by offshore reps is significantly higher

  @Rogers Your customer service is appalling. I will be switching at the first opportunity presented. @TELUS

  @TELUS $T.TO I hate your company. Truly. Been a business customer for decades just to be treated like ****. Dealing with an issue, a serious mistake on YOUR part, has been gruelling and terrible. The incompetence from your side is inexcusable. Your departments don’t talk to each other leading me to coordinate everything. Hopefully I’ll be able to file a complaint against you with regulators. And you also have a cell tower on our site for which you’re currently asking for a lease extension. That’s gonna cost you big time.

  @cyberlander_ @TELUS No, I use shaw at home for internet. This is for our business lines and internet where the problems are occurring. They fcked up our transition from copper to fibre optic, which they asked for, and now I'm dealing with their incompetence.

  @JustMeJamie64 @Rogers When I call Telus it's always some third world garbage ******** like India or the Phillipines.

  @JustMeJamie64 @Rogers I just did the same with Telus they operate out of El Salvador and the Philippines. The service is fast and they are well trained. One guy had chickens in the background, but i wish they were operating in Canada.

  @TELUS Don't get involved with this company. They are the worst for customer service. They have apps that don't work and if you ask for a paper bill you get zero information on it. Then you try to leave them and they harass you and charge you hundreds of dollars. Think illegal

  @TELUSsupport thank you Telus for zero help on my technical issues. Almost 3 hours in hold. Talked to rep. He took my number in case of disconnection. Lost call no call back. I hate Telus. Looking for alternative. Internet, phone, tv. Telus hates customers.

  DEAR AT&T and TELUS, Are you paying attention? A company is only as good as it's service and attention to the most remote and poorest members of its service area. (I still say the same thing about unions too). When areas in SE Alaska don't have phone and internet their lives are highly at risk. It's not just about a drop in communications, gaming, streaming movies or social media. It's a drop in safety tools for these island dwellers too. Not to mention that with millions of tourists every year robbing the locals of bandwidth with high data traffic locals end up in last place as highpaying users for lack of competition. Ketchikan’s main internet (KPU fiber via the Canada route, plus cellular from providers like GCI/AT&T) has "finite capacity". When multiple cruise ships dock and thousands of tourists flood downtown with phones and devices, and that shared bandwidth gets congested—slowing speeds for everyone. When the service is down, many local busineses lose the use of POS machines (but still pay the rent to have them). Starlink solves this in several practical ways: -independant backup, -reliable pathways and -outage resilience. Starlink is already a tremendous service for the Alaska Marine Highway System which is a class 1 essential service for SE Alaska, whereby these ferries are often the only way form of transportation between island communities for so many of these remote residents. In this age of high technology, the current tools, even with their own redundancies, just don't offer enough protections. This isn't an advertisement nor do I get paid for mentioning Starlink. But I will post pricing for SE Alaska residents because these remote areas need options: As of August 2026, Starlink’s regular U.S. Residential pricing (which applies in Southeast Alaska) is: Residential 100 Mbps: $55/month Residential 200 Mbps: $85/month Residential MAX: $130/month New customers can download the Starlink mobile app and the sign up opens on the initial screen. Competition is a beautiful thing. Just saying...
