  @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.

  @AngelaUnspoken Virgin Mobility it's essentially Bell Mobility under a different branding. Same EPC, same billing system, same network backbone. Same thing goes with Telus and Koodo. Koodo is Telus' flanker brand. My guess is that you've probably switched to a BYOD plan by switching to Virgin from Bell. This is how much I pay, on a BYOD plan. Just a disclaimer, this is a business / corporate account.

  @BenRabidoux Most people already have cellphones. Most of the times when I speak to a representative of Telus I come away with the feeling that they are trying to cheat me in some way. It is not a surprise that subscriber growth has slowed down.

  Telus needs to simplify their offerings. How much energy and time do they spend making all these complicated packages that are difficult to decipher and that require customers to phone in? A very customer-unfriendly approach.

  but they won't put another tower in Comox to fix our terrible awful connectivity issues .... I have trouble maintaining a phone call in my KITCHEN IN TOWN .... constantly dropping signal and I am not the only one, there is a dead zone in the subdivision I live in that everyone has issues with but Telus has done nothing IN THE 23 YEARS i HAVE LIVED HERE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ... this issue is well enough known to have had local news stories written about it. SO they want to uograde Victoria you say ... whoop de do :(

  Follow-up on last week's Canadian telecom thread. The algorithm just moved Telus from OPTIMAL to CAUTION 🟠 $T.TO : Quality 58 → 40. New CEO announced a 54.6% dividend cut + C$2.1B impairment. 8-year growth streak broken. The double-digit yield was real last week. Today it's a reset story. $BCE.TO : Still OPTIMAL. Quality 57, Opportunity 88. No change. Its 42% cut was last year. The market already priced it. Last week I said Quality was barely above 50 for both. That warning aged well. One week later, one crossed the line. This is exactly why I built the algorithm. A 55% cut doesn't happen in a vacuum, it follows years of declining EPS (-10% CAGR). The motor flagged the leadership vacuum and structural headwinds last week as concerns. Today they became the story. BCE at C$30 with P/FFO 4.3x still looks like the better risk/reward in Canadian telecom. But anyone saying this sector is simple right now isn't paying attention. 🇨🇦

  $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%.

  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.

  @nenshi Just like your Fellow BC NDP Party is doing Naheed. Telus building 3 AI sites in Metro Vancouver. No extra baseline dispachable power either ? BC Hydro scrambling saying they will be short 20 % by 2029. But BC NDP puts up 4 more Bird killing windmills to help supply AI power
