  @TELUSsupport A couple of days too late to ask. But the issue only lasted 2 or 3 hours. It was interesting because I was telling one of my plane spotter friends in the US, and even Verizon (a partner of Telus?) was giving him issues on and off the same day.

  The Northern lights Satellite Fight Rogers played it like a chess grandmaster while Bell, MTS, and Telus fumbled around like they were playing checkers with winter mittens on. In a country as vast and rugged as Canada, where huge swaths of land have zero cell coverage, satellite-to-mobile tech is the future for keeping people connected in the bush, on the water, or up north. Rogers saw the obvious winner and jumped in early with Starlink— Elon Musk’s low-Earth orbit beast with thousands of satellites already zipping overhead. They launched Rogers Satellite in 2025, starting with reliable texting, text-to-911, and emergency alerts on regular smartphones, then rapidly added support for popular apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, AllTrails, and Messenger. By early 2026, they expanded it coast-to-coast (covering millions more square kilometres), tossed in free trials in places like Atlantic Canada, and just days ago rolled out seamless roaming into the US via T-Mobile’s Starlink-powered setup. No special hardware, no waiting years—real connectivity, right now, with proven performance and clear momentum toward full voice/data. Smart, decisive, and customer-first. Rogers basically turned every phone into a satellite phone where towers fear to tread. Meanwhile, Bell (and its MTS arm) and Telus decided to bet big on AST SpaceMobile, a scrappy Texas startup still scrambling to get its own satellite constellation properly off the ground lol. Bell hyped a “first” demo voice call back in 2025 and promised a 2026 launch, while Telus signed on in March 2026 with some equity investment and ground infrastructure talk. Their pitch? Future broadband, voice, and data… eventually. Late 2026 at the earliest for any real rollout, with a lot of “we’re building it” vibes and fewer actual customers using it today. The contrast is brutal and hilarious. Rogers is out here actually delivering satellite connectivity today—texts, apps, cross-border roaming—while Bell, MTS, and Telus are still waving around press releases about satellites that mostly exist as PowerPoint slides and optimistic timelines. Canadians stuck in dead zones don’t want “coming soon” promises; they want a signal when their truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Rogers chose the proven, massive, rapidly scaling Starlink network that’s already lighting up phones across the planet. Bell and Telus? They went with the long-shot alternative that’s playing catch-up. In the race to blanket Canada with space-based mobile service, one carrier sprinted ahead with the rocket ship… and the others are still warming up the backup prop plane. Right now, the industry is laughing: “Bell and Telus picked what?” While Rogers customers are sending “I’m alive” texts from the tundra, their rivals are busy explaining why their fancy future service isn’t quite ready yet. Classic Big Telecom brain fart—overthinking it, missing the obvious winner, and handing Rogers a massive marketing and coverage edge on a silver platter. Oof. That’s gotta sting. - Grok & Ai

  @TELUS is your data coverage from Squamish to Whistler down? No data at all. Restarted phone. Spoke to other customers they are all having the same issue.

  No retention team in Canada? You offshored everything. After 20 years as your partner, I’m done. And when did it become acceptable to make a customer wait an HOUR? FU, @TELUS

  Canada's privacy regulator cannot fine anyone for cyber attacks, data leaks, and systemic security negligence. ----------------------- The OPC found Loblaw was faking data deletion. They continue to keep your purchase history, IP addresses, and browsing data after you asked them to delete your account. Five days later, Loblaw disclosed a data breach. The penalty? A letter asking them to do better within 12 months. ----------------------- Telus Digital lost 1 petabyte of data. CIRO - the body that regulates your investment dealer, exposed 750,000 investors' SINs. PowerSchool exposed 2.77 million children's records. The hacker was a 19-year-old with stolen credentials. Total federal fines issued across all four breaches: $0. ----------------------- Bill C-27 would have introduced fines up to 3% of global revenue. It died in January 2025. No replacement has been tabled. ----------------------- If you're a lawyer in Canada who thinks this is broken, I'm building something. Follow along.

  @TELUSsupport Note this part: "same-size Telus SIM card". Received another CPO iPhone (Same model) that accepted my Telus SIM card after a time-wasting replacement process. Issue should NEVER have happened. Point stands: Telus CPO program is not at all guaranteed.

  This happened to me too, but it was the last voicemail from my brother lost when Koodo changed my service. Thankfully, a VP at Telus went the extra mile and they were able to send me the recording. I have always thought that my experience was a unique one, but obviously not.
