  @jillschnarr Do you feel good about a company that bullies customers to purchase new home security systems by issuing a threat to refuse to monitor the customer's existing system? I received a registered letter today from Telus doing just that. Sounds like I should be talking to the CRTC!

  @ProvoGal01 @TELUS @TELUSsupport Because it costs a fraction and every company on earth does it. There ain’t a damn thing you can do about it. Like it or not that’s the reality.

  @TELUSsupport When Alberta leaves Canada, can we open up phone competition? The retards at Telus use Guatemala 🇬🇹 for customer service for Albertans. What a joke.

  @TELUSsupport such a worse experience with Telus. No body knows anything about internet. Two guys come to setup and diagnose internet and issue still persists. No one takes issue seriously. I work from home and my work suffers.

  @ProvoGal01 @TELUS @TELUSsupport Cancel Telus. I did years ago. If everyone does this then they go broke. It’s that simple

  @joesmeggma @inthemoneypod @briangbelski BCE said they would pay down debt but decided to get into MORE debt with Ziply Fiber. Complete opposite of what I said Telus management should do. It's the opposite of what Telus management says they're going to do. We'll see if they go more into debt like BCE or not.

  Never believe a @TELUS store rep and read their agreements before you sign any contract with them. The rep will lure you saying your billing amount won’t change during the whole contract period but their agreement would say something else. And that’s where you are trapped.

  Winnipegers have had enough. For years, major telecom providers like Bell MTS and Telus (along with others in the big telecom club) have dominated the market in Manitoba with high prices, unreliable service, frequent outages, and frustrating customer support that often leaves people on hold for hours or bouncing between agents. Customers routinely report surprise bill increases, slow or inconsistent speeds, poor coverage in parts of the city and surrounding areas, and endless hassles when trying to fix simple issues. Many feel taken advantage of—paying premium rates for subpar, sometimes insecure connections that struggle during peak times or bad weather. Complaints have piled up nationally, with the big providers frequently topping lists for billing disputes, contract problems, and overall poor service. It's a classic case of limited competition leading to complacency: pay up or put up with it. But relief is on the horizon. Starlink is stepping in as a game-changing alternative, delivering high-speed satellite internet that works almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky. No more relying on aging cables or spotty towers—users in and around Winnipeg and rural Manitoba are reporting faster, more consistent speeds (often 100+ Mbps down), lower latency for streaming and gaming, and far better reliability than traditional options in areas where wired service has lagged. Setup is straightforward with self-install hardware, there's no long-term contract lock-in for many plans, and it's proving especially valuable for those fed up with the old guard. While pricing isn't the absolute cheapest in dense urban spots with fibre available, it often undercuts or matches what people were paying for inferior service—and the freedom from constant headaches makes it feel like a bargain. The message from frustrated Winnipegers is clear: the days of being held hostage by shoddy, overpriced telecom are numbered. Plastering their names on the local hockey teams heads as a mark of ownership will fool none. Starlink is here to give people real choice and better connectivity. Time to point that dish skyward and leave the old frustrations behind. -Grok & Ai
