  @MirandaWiebe @TELUS Same here 4 hours and someone was supposed to call me back within 30 minutes twice now and I'm still waiting. Really bad customer service and I started at 730 this morning

  🇨🇦🏳️‍🌈 Talia M. Wilson #GenXZeneca 🌈🇺🇸 (@olyfilmgirl) reported 46 seconds ago from Colwood, British Columbia

  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?

  Tess van Straaten (@tessvanstraaten) reported 6 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!

  Lloyd Mildon (@LloydMildon) reported 6 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

  Penny Holt (@canukgenie) reported 10 minutes ago from Saanich, British Columbia

  @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.

  Brandan (@brandanCiccone) reported 13 minutes ago from Cowichan Station, British Columbia

  @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

  Christiane Sadeler (@ChrisSadeler) reported 18 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.

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

  @PeninsulaNews Who cares? We already know as daily consumers how bad Telus is. They apologized. BCLibs need to find something useful to do.

  @telusmobility so glad I spent my entire 30 minute lunch on hold with you.. had to hang up as I got to go back to work (something your staff apparently doesn’t do) simple question with 0 answers available online for it.. ppl say I shld leave TELUS, considering it now

  West Coast Coco Mermaid 🧜🏾‍♀️ (@sherryella77) reported 29 minutes ago from Colwood, British Columbia

  @MACIConventions @TELUSsupport 30+ mins. I wish. I had to hang up at 2 hours and 3 mins. No one ever answers. I sent a DM to them on Friday and it was just answered 5 mins ago with a “sorry we can’t assist you via social media but we encourage you to call Telus”. Such a freaking joke.

  Jody Klassen (@bellasugarsega) reported 32 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.

• 
  Revheidi Koschzeck (@RevheidiK) reported 34 minutes ago from Langford, British Columbia

  How is it the Province's fault that a million people couldn't follow simple instructions and wait to call for a vaccination until it was their turn? Not having a callback queue was definitely a big mistake which I hope Telus will fix. #blamegame #CommonSense

  @cohix Hmmm I had a pretty bad experience with them years ago, but if my choice is them or Telus idk!

  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

  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

  Fully Vaxed Gordie Logan (@GordieLogan) reported 50 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.

• 
  Cheri S (@Cheri_L_S) reported 50 minutes ago from Victoria, British Columbia

  Telus has made 0 attempt to contact me about my TV taking longer than the "few weeks" promised when I signed up 16 wks ago. I was told weeks ago there was a Covid related delay & that someone would contact me. No contact. No stock problems @ Bestbuy. Where is my TV? @TELUSsupport

  Sherry Merriam (@sherryella77) reported 51 minutes ago from Victoria, British Columbia

  Going on day 8 & still no email on iPhone. Can’t get any of the old emails I need for this #militarymove What an absolute shit show. Im so mad I could spit nails. The “I’m sorry’s are getting super freaking old. Day 2 with no call back from TELUS even tho Im in queue #telusfail

  John Iosifov ✨💥 Ender Turing | AiCMO (@johniosifov) reported 5 minutes ago

  TELUS deployed a voice AI agent to call new home internet customers in their first 90 days. Not to resolve a problem. Not because the customer called in. Just to check in. Result: customers who got that AI welcome call were less than half as likely to cancel within 30 days. That's proactive retention — and it completely inverts how most contact center AI is deployed. The standard mental model: AI handles inbound. Saves cost. Deflects calls. Reduces headcount. TELUS ran the opposite play. Outbound. Proactive. AI-initiated. And the economics are brutal in a good way. Every churn prevented is worth months of subscription revenue. Voice AI at scale means you can make that call to every single new customer — not the top 10% who triggered a risk score. Gartner projects $80 billion in contact center labor costs cut by AI this year. 88% of contact centers now run some form of AI. But 75% haven't operationalized it. They have tools. They don't have outcomes. The difference between TELUS and the 75%: TELUS defined the outcome first (reduce 30-day churn), then designed the intervention (proactive welcome call), then measured it. Proactive > reactive. Always. In contact centers and everywhere else. This is what the call center AI conversation is missing. Everyone's chasing deflection rates. The real money is in the outbound plays nobody's running yet.

  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.

  @OILanatude @Rogers @telusmobility Yes. And I literally just got a lower-priced deal from them 6 months ago because I was threatening to leave to go to Telus after a series of issues with Rogers that saw me file a complaint with the CCTS. $5 increase 6 months later.

  Some might say… (@paulbeit) reported 12 minutes ago

  @Critter_Paths @RebelNewsOnline Oh gosh…ya…I’ve been doing this for 30 years…building switching centers, to central offices/and now Data Centers and supporting/installing/upgrading/planning/budgeting/building these projects and all the “wires” on poles, towers and in holes - all over 🇨🇦. Built networks for Bell, Roger’s, Telus, Cogeco, Videotron, Eastlink, SaskTel, NRBN, NFTC, C3Telecon, Sogetel……I can go on. Here is the scoop on Data Centers. Yes, DC’s take a ton of energy in the form of electricity and some “do” water. Not all are built the same. For context a simple (small) 50,000 square foot DC - can provide service to approximately 30M people globally again on today’s AI standards. This DC, again for example, can create over 3 to 7m in tax revenue per year for any community (and way more for the feds could get some DST from the 🌎. So this DC, for context, sits in a Dollar Store size building……and delivers a huge boost to the locals….to build that they employed over 200 part time and now hire 50 people to manage it daily…the 200 that built this, build the next - a team a crew, and they get way more $ after every gig….talk to me….I fly around talking about this. I think we have a better job to do in communicating the overall business, environment, economic, and social aspects of them….I have work to do….but Canada is cold, has a ton of land, resources, and a ton of access to global fiber connectivity. If not, I’ll install it with all my friends 👍🇨🇦👍

  Smart TVs also can be turned on remotely, including the Alexa microphone in your remote control. It can also hack your wifi network and all devices on it. China did it for years in the USA. My FireTV when connected to the computer was changing settings on my PC, when connected via an HDMI cable, BUT NOT TURNED ON. I could tell because my PC screen would change as if a new monitor was turned on and found out it was the TV doing it. So a TV not turned on was still interfacing with my computer without my permission. I also noticed my TV was doing updates despite the fact my TV was not connected to my wifi network. Instead it was doing the updates without my permission, using the 4K Telus digital box it was connected to.

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport Janal from "loyalty" tells me I cannot get a credit, even though Mariam from the previous department was able to... You tell me I can't speak to a manager..

  Telus World of Science TWOS - So much water damage. Why? Sure. Lotsa rain. But the damage is excessive. Are the Engineers that designed the building boy responsible ?
