🏳️🌈♿ Lorna Appleby 🏴 🇨🇦 (@Shadowydreamer) reported from Nanaimo, British ColumbiaAsked to be put on @TELUS do not call list three times. Nope, their farmed out sales team keeps calling. Half the time they hang up when they're asked to hold while I'm fetched. I'm about ready to start blowing a soccer whistle in their ears. #SpamCallers #DoNotCall FFS

Jonö (@NuckMyLife) reported from Nanaimo, British Columbia@MizzzAlia @Chemainiac Yeah telus’ customer service sucks. Even the guy who came and installed it was a ****. But I’m saving $80+ a month so that’s all I cared about haha
-
william yoachim (@wyoachim) reported from Nanaimo, British Columbia@Charlene_Kotze Switch to @TELUS , long time @ShawTV_CVI but costs kept rising , service getting worse so made the switch . We actually get more service and product for less money and our wifi is great

Speaking for the planet (@shepherd_360) reported from South Wellington, British Columbia@MoistlySpeaking @DeceitinDrugs @jjhorgan I think you may be able to do that if you subscribe to the health service owned by Telus. Personally the last thing I want is more of my personal information publically available. It's bad enough Google provides an ad for aspirin when I talk about a headache around the devices.

MaggieMay 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇮🇪 (@CailinasEirinn) reported from Nanaimo, British Columbia@MgtmMoisan @marcedge1 @TELUS And when we actually (rarely) manage to have them restart the modem remotely, think about it. We’re doing half the service call for them, while paying for the service. 🙄

Bret Westergaard (@Westie_84) reported from Nanaimo, British ColumbiaTelus offering me a new iPhone 11 Pro for 95 a month. Freedom offering the same Been a #rogers customer for 20 years and I was on hold twice yesterday and disconnected and I’ve been waiting for chat agent for 43 minutes now. I guess it’s time to make a switch.

Kevin's Bacon (@kevinsbaconband) reported from Nanaimo, British ColumbiaWow, I just used the Babylon App by Telus and was able to talk to a doctor via webcam within 24 hours. Obviously it has its limitations but a pretty good service that beats sitting in a walk-in clinic for hours. @babylonhealth

MaggieMay 🇨🇦🇪🇺🇮🇪 (@CailinasEirinn) reported from Nanaimo, British Columbia@DianeMariePosts @linwood_barclay Just think, we used to have tech support when an actual technician would come to our homes. Now when I have a problem with my Telus connection, the tech remote-accesses my phone and *I* do the technical work under their instruction. 🙄

Ai AM CAVEMAN (@CanadaScamada) reportedThe Northern lights Satellite Fight Rogers played it like a chess grandmaster while Bell, MTS, and Telus fumbled around like they were playing checkers with winter mittens on. In a country as vast and rugged as Canada, where huge swaths of land have zero cell coverage, satellite-to-mobile tech is the future for keeping people connected in the bush, on the water, or up north. Rogers saw the obvious winner and jumped in early with Starlink— Elon Musk’s low-Earth orbit beast with thousands of satellites already zipping overhead. They launched Rogers Satellite in 2025, starting with reliable texting, text-to-911, and emergency alerts on regular smartphones, then rapidly added support for popular apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, AllTrails, and Messenger. By early 2026, they expanded it coast-to-coast (covering millions more square kilometres), tossed in free trials in places like Atlantic Canada, and just days ago rolled out seamless roaming into the US via T-Mobile’s Starlink-powered setup. No special hardware, no waiting years—real connectivity, right now, with proven performance and clear momentum toward full voice/data. Smart, decisive, and customer-first. Rogers basically turned every phone into a satellite phone where towers fear to tread. Meanwhile, Bell (and its MTS arm) and Telus decided to bet big on AST SpaceMobile, a scrappy Texas startup still scrambling to get its own satellite constellation properly off the ground lol. Bell hyped a “first” demo voice call back in 2025 and promised a 2026 launch, while Telus signed on in March 2026 with some equity investment and ground infrastructure talk. Their pitch? Future broadband, voice, and data… eventually. Late 2026 at the earliest for any real rollout, with a lot of “we’re building it” vibes and fewer actual customers using it today. The contrast is brutal and hilarious. Rogers is out here actually delivering satellite connectivity today—texts, apps, cross-border roaming—while Bell, MTS, and Telus are still waving around press releases about satellites that mostly exist as PowerPoint slides and optimistic timelines. Canadians stuck in dead zones don’t want “coming soon” promises; they want a signal when their truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Rogers chose the proven, massive, rapidly scaling Starlink network that’s already lighting up phones across the planet. Bell and Telus? They went with the long-shot alternative that’s playing catch-up. In the race to blanket Canada with space-based mobile service, one carrier sprinted ahead with the rocket ship… and the others are still warming up the backup prop plane. Right now, the industry is laughing: “Bell and Telus picked what?” While Rogers customers are sending “I’m alive” texts from the tundra, their rivals are busy explaining why their fancy future service isn’t quite ready yet. Classic Big Telecom brain fart—overthinking it, missing the obvious winner, and handing Rogers a massive marketing and coverage edge on a silver platter. Oof. That’s gotta sting. - Grok & Ai

Ray Gaur (@raygaurca) reportedTelus now is my largest holding. It is down just under 6% for me. However, one year of dividend should comfortably make up for the loss. $T $T.TO

Emmanuel Richie (@emmanuel_r90) reported@luo_themaestro @amara_is_weird Got someone in the US, UK or Canada that could help you apply for remote jobs like Telus or outlier..? Link up and let's make weekly income together

YYZAV8R (@yyzav8r) reported@TELUS trying to call telus mobility for support and when being transferred to agent I get generic message that offices are closed. It's 734pm eastern, 434pm pacific, how are your offices closed? Is telus bankrupt?

Dean Skoreyko (@bcbluecon) reportedMy doctors office 'uses' Telus Health yet it doesn't work. Give a few doctors a call in BC and see what a disaster it is.
-
Sharon Daniel ©️🎭 (@sharondaniel91) reportedSo here goes again, @TELUSsupport @TELUS If my contract ends on April 22, 2026, why would you charge me the full price of the service before the contract ends ? For example, if I pay $65, the service should be $113 after April 22, not before. You’re breaking the contract??
-
Homer Simson (@simso63850) reported@TELUS By law you are required to send paper bills. If the customer doesn’t have a computer or cell phone. This is reality. Are you going to pass the savings to the customer going paperless? Your TV and internet service is way too expensive so you are minting money already.

Lorie (@MissWest003) reported@Hunny_diva @RogersHelps @Rogers Every time someone has a concern they direct ppl to Rogers Support as if that’s not their job. This Roger’s Help channel seems pretty pointless to me if they can’t actually help & give false info about something important like Pin#’s and Account Security. Glad I’m with #Telus
