  @TELUSsupport A little late? We have been Telus customers for years. The problem has been rectified now. After being on hold on 3 sep occasions for more than an hour. Not great customer service unfortunately

  Switching back to Shaw for internet. Although Telus's website said our service wouldn't change, the guy Drew talked to said we could only get slower internet. So, just waiting for Shaw order to process. And who new self install was a thing?

  @TELUSsupport good afternoon! I recently got Telus Security and need some help paying the bill, I assumed it was bundled in with my satellite and phone bill

  Jenn Tranmer (@vicmomdoc) reported 19 minutes ago from Langford, British Columbia

  @antric @TELUS @ShawInfo Yup @ShawInfo asked me to DM. Then I did. Then they didn’t respond. I tried their virtual assistant online. No response either. I get better service in Nicaragua than here. @cbcmarketplace help.

  @gillrh They are the worst, along with mobile phone plans. You should have been a fly on the wall where Chris took on Telus. Not pretty.

• 
  Jody Klassen (@bellasugarsega) reported 23 minutes ago from Langford, British Columbia

  I was a @Shawhelp customer for 5 years, until today. Cancelling my service and going with Telus instead. Don’t use this company for internet services, all you’ll have is regrets and ****** hardware.

  @TELUS sucks 10mins with @Shawhelp and it's all sorted for Friday installation...

  Fully Vaxed Gordie Logan (@GordieLogan) reported 27 minutes ago from Langford, British Columbia

  Oh @TELUS, as a 30yr+ customer, I’ve never been so frustrated. I just had my appt for tomorrow cancelled. All because fiber hasn’t been run to the house yet. This is after an appt last week was cancelled for the same reason. Plz note, I made last weeks appt a month ago.

  Tesla Tours (@tesla_tours) reported 31 minutes ago from Victoria, British Columbia

  @EmmaCParston @Google People complain that high quality electronic products by companies like Apple and Tesla are overpriced until they waste valuable time on the alternatives. For my part, I’m wishing I’d stayed with Fido & Shaw instead of getting duped into Telus’ marketing-first service-last model

• 
  Zach (@zaxbux) reported 35 minutes ago from Victoria, British Columbia

  Does anyone have any idea why some @Microsoft web properties (recently LinkedIn and Visual Studio Marketplace) randomly refuse connections? Appears to only be an issue on @Telus IPv6. Mobile data and IPv4 are not affected. 🤬🤯

• 
  Reg Brick (@hellonature) reported 38 minutes ago from Colwood, British Columbia

  @BridgieCasey @TELUS Block them. They are a horrible money loving, aggressive company w **** customer service.

• 
  Mike Richter (@mrichter37) reported 46 minutes ago from Mill Bay, British Columbia

  @Shawhelp @ShawInfo I just waited an hour and forty five minutes on hold after being told at the beginning that the wait time was between 35 and 45 minutes. This is the third time I’ve called in the last three days with extended wait time and shitty service. Can’t wait for @TELUS

• 
  Lloyd Mildon (@LloydMildon) reported 46 minutes ago from Oak Bay, British Columbia

  On my @TELUS optik TV I now have to watch ads before I am permitted to move on to the programming. This is horrible. I’m the customer. I’m the guy paying the bills. Just stop it, @telus. @telussupport

• 
  Christiane Sadeler (@ChrisSadeler) reported 47 minutes ago from Saanich, British Columbia

  @TELUS you may want to check Twitter for comments on @koodo. Or check the @koodo community board. A lot of upset people for terrible service. One more try from me to get the money due to me and my next move is CRTC. #unbelievable corporate arrogance and inaptitude.

  Why ******** does telus keep calling me at 745pm every night and hanging up? Get real.

  Finnegan66🍀 (@Finnegan661) reported 50 minutes ago from Sidney, British Columbia

  @therealjugni @TELUS I can tell you that I was able to fix the issue but no resolve with the original person. It's very sad but we are looking at other options now. We have been a telus customer for over 20 years #shameonyoutelus

  Bill Perry (@Captnwilly) reported 52 minutes ago from Sidney, British Columbia

  @TELUSsupport how do we get Telus technical support to call us at home?

• 
  Tess van Straaten (@tessvanstraaten) reported 59 minutes ago from Mill Bay, British Columbia

  @racquets100 @TELUS I didn’t even have to ask, let alone threaten to leave! I was calling thinking I needed to upgrade my internet plan and maybe cut back TV service and the rep offered the upgrade for free AND the TV discount. Very impressed!

  Sarah Campden (she, her) (@scampden) reported 60 minutes ago from Saanich, British Columbia

  I haven't used it yet, but for those that have, is Telus Health fee based service? I think I may need an antibiotic and the thought of waiting outside a non-existent walk in clinic is awful #bcmed #yyj

Telus Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

  ChinoAleman (@chinoalemano) reported 6 minutes ago

  My two biggest fears about $AMPG were the biggest MNO and the margins. That's why I lowered my exposure and positioned myself publicly for $DGXX's earnings. Yet, at these prices, AMPG is very attractive. I think this is an overreaction. It reminds me of $FLNC. Yesterday's report confirmed the "problem" with the Asian program. Last call, they said: "timing delays due to customer deployment schedules and overseas supply chain factors". Yesterday's Titan Crest filing says: "substantial delays in developing its products". That's where I suspected the $70M+ program was going to be in trouble, discussed it with my friends, and shared my insights about it. Today's call: "We do not have any cancellations of orders, or we do not have any changes in the LOIs. The forecast timing has changed". "Particularly within one of our international 5G programs. So this shift is affecting the timing on the follow-on purchase orders associated with that deployment overseas". It's a timing issue. Nobody cancelled. My conclusion is that those problems will eventually get solved, but that OREX's LOI was delayed (the biggest MNO) because Titan Crest. Who knows how long it takes. Thesis didn't change. That's exactly why they pulled guidance: because they can't date the fix. Painful, but honest. The $40M (North American MNO) program is Telus. No problems there. In fact, they've been ordering MORE than the LOI. On margins, last call they told us: "We do not expect margin improvement to be perfectly linear quarter to quarter, especially during a ramp-up phase, but improving gross margin remains one of our key operating priorities". So I understand margins will eventually climb (especially with the 64T64R and everything AI-RAN). My fear was how the market would take a margin reduction when it printed. It printed. The market did what I feared. Both things will get solved and it will stabilize. Same thing happened with Fluence. I bought at $12.60. Euphoria traders ran it to $15. That's what happened with AMPG lately. Lots of euphoria. Lots of likes. Lots of tourists. Then FLNC dropped from $15 to $10 in premarket. Everyone who read "margin cut" hit sell. Market opened. It went back to $15. Now it sits around $13, more or less stabilized. I think something similar just happened to AMPG. All that attention, all those posts with hundreds of likes... that's tourist capital. The tourists saw the margin compression and overreacted. Was it a bad earnings report? Definitely. So was Fluence's. Was it THAT bad? No. Eventually it recovers and stabilizes. And the game, same as Fluence, is watching whether the next reports recover margins and put a date on the product problem. The thesis is the same. The clock is longer. Not financial advice. Still long $AMPG. Long $DGXX. DYOR.

  Here is a summary of annual net income (profit after tax) for the key publicly traded companies discussed previously, focusing on the major telecoms (Rogers, Telus, BCE/Bell) and major banks (RBC, TD, Scotiabank). Figures are in Canadian dollars (CAD) unless noted, drawn from company reports, Statista, Macrotrends, and related filings. Fiscal years typically end December 31 for telecoms and October 31 for banks. Data covers 2019 through the most recent full year available (primarily 2025; partial 2026 data is limited). Note that one-time items (e.g., asset sales, impairments, acquisition gains/losses, tax adjustments) can cause large year-to-year swings. Adjusted/operating figures are often higher and more stable but are not shown here—raw reported net income is used. Telecommunications Rogers Communications (RCI) • 2019: ~$2.04 billion • 2020: ~$1.59 billion • 2021: ~$1.56 billion • 2022: ~$1.68 billion • 2023: ~$0.85 billion • 2024: ~$1.73 billion • 2025: ~$6.9 billion (significantly boosted by gains, including related to MLSE investment revaluation) Telus (TU) (approximate CAD figures; some sources convert to USD) • 2019: ~$1.75 billion • 2020: ~$1.21 billion • 2021: ~$1.66 billion • 2022: ~$1.61–1.62 billion • 2023: ~$0.84–0.99 billion (lower due to various factors) • 2024: ~$0.99–1.11 billion range across reports • 2025: ~$1.11 billion (attributable to common shares in some presentations) BCE Inc. (Bell Canada parent, BCE) • 2019: ~$2.29–2.45 billion range • 2020: ~$1.85–1.86 billion • 2021: ~$2.16–2.31 billion • 2022: ~$2.09–2.25 billion • 2023: ~$1.54–2.33 billion • 2024: ~$0.12–0.38 billion (impacted by impairments and other items) • 2025: ~$6.5 billion (boosted by investment gains, including MLSE-related) Major Banks Banks are larger and more profitable overall. Figures are reported net income (attributable in some cases). Royal Bank of Canada (RBC / RY) • 2019: ~$12.9 billion • 2020: ~$11.4 billion • 2021: ~$16.1 billion • 2022: ~$15.8 billion • 2023: ~$14.6 billion • 2024: ~$16.2 billion • 2025: ~$20.4 billion Toronto-Dominion Bank (TD) • 2019: ~$11.7–12.1 billion range (CAD) • 2020: ~$11.9 billion • 2021: ~$14.3 billion • 2022: ~$17.4 billion • 2023: ~$10.6–10.7 billion • 2024: ~$8.8–8.9 billion (impacted by U.S. issues/provisions in some periods) • 2025: ~$20.5 billion (strong recovery) Bank of Nova Scotia (Scotiabank / BNS) • 2019: ~$8.4–8.8 billion • 2020: ~$6.8–6.9 billion • 2021: ~$9.6–10.0 billion • 2022: ~$9.9–10.2 billion • 2023: ~$7.3–7.5 billion • 2024: ~$7.8–7.9 billion • 2025: ~$7.8 billion Quick Notes • Trends: Telecom profits were more volatile, with dips in 2020 (COVID) and some mid-period years due to competition, capital spending, and one-time charges. Banks generally showed recovery and growth post-2020, though TD faced specific U.S.-related pressures in 2023–2024. 2025 was strong for several firms due to operational improvements and gains. • Scale: Banks’ profits are substantially larger than the telecoms’. • Sources & caveats: Drawn from company annual reports, SEDAR+/SEC filings summaries, Statista, and Macrotrends. Exact figures can vary slightly by “attributable to common shareholders,” currency conversion (for USD-reported views), or restatements. Always check the latest official filings for precise audited numbers, as 2026 interim results are still emerging. • Other Big Six banks (BMO, CIBC) follow similar patterns of multi-billion CAD annual profits, with growth in recent years but variability from credit provisions and economic conditions. For the absolute latest quarterly updates or detailed breakdowns (e.g., by segment), refer to the companies’ investor relations pages.

  @MeaghieC Pharmacists can do emergency refills in BC. Hopefully you will have some luck with Telus or another telehealth provider. Or show up at an urgent care clinic. Not sure where you live, but the one in Chemainus BC is really good.

  @steeletalk 1/2 That doesn't sound like us and could be scam/phishing calls pretending to be TELUS. Check out our Call control feature that can help prevent many of these types of calls.

  @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

  @JustMeJamie64 Indian/Moroccan call and Service centres. All Shaw/Rogers. Other companies like Telus are all Philippino or south American. All from my experiences...

  @dagdakiayaz @Rogers Switch to Telus. Rogers isn't worth your time and they don't care about customer service. Getting away from them was has been such a good change.
