  Northwest B.C. cannot continue to be one cut cable away from losing critical communications. Following yet another widespread telecommunications outage on August 2, reportedly caused by copper cable theft, I have written to the Minister of Citizens’ Services asking what the Province is doing to improve the resilience and reliability of our telecommunications infrastructure. When these outages happen, the consequences go far beyond inconvenience. Residents can lose access to emergency information, businesses can’t process transactions, families can’t communicate, and entire communities can be left without reliable access to essential services. After the major outage in May, my office raised concerns with both TELUS and the Province about the lack of redundancy in Northwest B.C. and asked what was being done to prevent another widespread disruption. Months later, we are still waiting for meaningful answers, and now it has happened again. Copper theft is a growing problem, but whether an outage is caused by theft, wildfire, severe weather or infrastructure failure, our communities should not be left so vulnerable to a single point of failure. I’m asking the Province for clear answers on redundancy, infrastructure investment, emergency connectivity, and what steps are being taken with telecommunications providers to ensure Northwest communities can stay connected when something goes wrong. Reliable telecommunications are essential infrastructure, and Northwest B.C. deserves the same level of reliability and resiliency as the rest of the province.

  @TrixieLeRue I left TELUS because even as an employee, they had a "rushman" visit my house to try to fix my internet connection over a dozen times and still couldn't figure out how to fix it. I managed to get my current Shaw issue fixed with a friend.

  @MPelletierCIO Ive been screaming about how telus lost the plot and how its valuation compared to peers was insane for 2 years. Come on, even a simple p/e comparison to peers was too hard for so called "professionals". no excuses for anyone hold telus, it was/is bad, red flags everywhere

  @TELUS That’s what I thought. Reddit post said it was a recognized Telus number but spam at the same time. Obviously if it comes from you, no issues getting past call screening. It appears this number did not get past it. Thanks for getting back and confirming.

  Their service sucks because they sub contract out their technician calls to a 3 rd party contractor who has no money in the game son they don’t care. DO YOURSELF A FAVOUR AVOID TELUS LIKE THE PLAGUE.

  @TELUSsupport between July 28 and today Aug 5 I have spoke to at least 8-9 Telus agents to resolve a problem . l've had agents diarize to call me back as follow up ... nothing. Any other business working like this would be bankrupt. Telus is the worst provider choice !!!

  God my internet is so slow :/ I have Telus purefibre 250 Mbps and man it is sooo slow to download games or stuff on my laptop like it takes an hour plus. tbh i kinda did forgot what internet plan i actually had (lol) but i thankfully will probably upgrade to either purefibre 1 gigabit or 1.5 gigabit and hopefully i will have much faster speeds :) and once i do that, i will only have to get an Ethernet port installed in my bedroom and then i will finally not have to worry about internet speeds again :3
