  @not_sforys92 I do feel like we're being gaslit about services getting better, definitely feels worse. Up at the cottage on Telus or Rogers we used to get by, now it's the worst it's ever been. New cell tower should be active at the end of the month supposedly. We got starlink now tho

  $TU - TELUS CUT ITS DIVIDEND 55% AND RAISED CAPEX. THE FREE CASH FLOW GUIDE FELL A QUARTER. Every rung of the 2026 guide moved at once. Free cash flow to about $1.8 billion from about $2.45 billion; capital expenditures UP to about $2.6 billion from about $2.3 billion; consolidated service revenue growth to flat-to−2% from 2% to 4%; adjusted EBITDA growth to −2% to −4% from 2% to 4%. The quarterly dividend was reset 55% to $0.1875 a share, an annualized $0.75, which TELUS says frees roughly $2.7 billion of cash through 2028 for debt reduction. The payout policy moved to 45–60% of trailing free cash flow from 60–75%, and the discount on the dividend reinvestment plan is gone from October 1 — the company says that reduces shareholder dilution. The leverage target itself never moved. The deadline did: about 3.0 times net debt to adjusted EBITDA by year-end 2028 rather than 2027, from 3.5 times at quarter-end, citing "competitive pricing pressure and reduced subscriber demand amid lower population growth." Mobile phone net additions were 17,000. A carrier that grew by connecting a growing country is repricing for one that isn't. The dividend is what pays for the extra year. Shares fell about 12%.

  - On 8/6/25, I also just so happened to be going northbound on SWRT; though I heard (& caught a clip of) other people's phones getting bad WPAs from ~20 km away at Osborne Stn, the Telus cells in the area behaved properly at that time. It wasn't until Nairn that I busted 116222.

  Re. land line, I need to hang onto the phone number as it's registered everywhere and a PITA to change. Anyway, I too was paying a high monthly so I told Telus I was considering dumping it and they gave me a loyalty rate of $2.50 per month. They must do this to pretend they still have a customer base. And yes, porting to VOIP is something I was considering as I already have a couple of numbers.

  Me: please send a tech Telus: okay, but we think it’s a software/network issue on our back end, but the only way to report it is for you to remain on the line and I won’t send a tech till the backend teams says to. And that’s why I’ve been on this call for over 80 minutes now.

  Please @TELUS can you work to improve the very poor cellular service at Pinery Provincial Park? We don't need gigabit service, but basic call and messaging services would offer basic safety.

  @TELUSsupport @brndntlrnlsn TELUS changed my internet plan from 1.5 Gbps to 1 Gbps without my knowledge or consent. There was no notice, no explanation—nothing. If I ask them to fix it, only results is they charge me $200, no improvement after the repair.

  Does not help when they spend over 8b over 14 years on companies in the Telus Health area will little to no synergy benefits. Ag biz is bad too I hear. Add massive sector headwinds (Elon)… not pretty. They also have to stop silly vanity RE projects.

  @bleating_lamb @JimScarratt Didn't bother with transfer & changed provider, annual subscription for alternate payroll equivalent for one month earnie/telus. Now ready to dump gatekeeper... actively looking for alternatives...not convinced their offer for agronomist/mapping solution will be viable (30yrs FP)

  @MPelletierCIO @BNNBloomberg Telus should worry less about selling non-core assets and more about minimal, basic customer service. As a client I'm appalled, they never answer the phone. Farming your customer service out to third world countries is pathetic, Telus deserves to keep imploding.
