  @TELUS @mmabrey1 Absolutely losing my mind with TELUS right now. We have been completely without internet service for over 30 hours and counting. To make matters worse, the level of misinformation and runarounds from customer service has been completely unacceptable:

  @TELUS While struggling to describe the painfully simple problem with my telephone wire on the phone with Telus las night, I helpfully suggested they send a guy with a bucket truck and 30m of new wire. Instead, today they sent a guy in a minivan with a turban and no clue, and no wire.

  @TELUS Nobody gave me an asset calling, and the support team in the app is really slow, I did had an answer but I’m not happy with the service attention.

  @smith_noreen @sarobertson_ His only work experience is a service rep for Telus. He only knows to call his manager - and unfortunately - he is the manager. Dude is lost.

  @VoteCanadaCom I can see Telus hiring browns to go door to door with guns ordering you to buy their service or else. That tracks perfectly with their sense of corporate business ethic and general moral disposition of those in charge of the company.

  @TELUS I would like for someone to actually respond to address the issues. I still did not hear back from Alejandro after I responded to his initial questions.

  @bigmatt_f Hey Matt, looks like the TV signal's been lost. Sounds like this may be an ongoing thing? Usually this happens when there's an issue getting the signal to the TV box. That could be caused by anything in the line as far back as Telus, if you experience internet issues as well, or it could be something as simple as the cable, or wireless connection from the modem/boost to the box. If it's wireless , try rebooting modem/hub, boost, then tv box, and if it's wired, do the same thing but reboot any adapters that the cables might be hooked up to as well. Telus expert messaging in the app is your best bet for troubleshooting with a person the digital space, or you can give us a call and can help you with next steps. If something like this is Telus caused, we can definitely credit for the downtime.

  I've been trying to cancel my @TELUSsupport @TELUS services since Wednesday. I just got told they couldn't authenticate me, with my name & account number. I guess when you make it impossible to cancel, you figure we'll just keep paying, so it doesnt impact our credit.
