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

🏳️🌈♿ 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

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. 🙄

Larenzo Jensen (@LarenzoJensen) reported from Nanaimo, British Columbia@TELUS Tried to get ahold of a Representative yesterday but the automated message said it was over an hour wait. Our fibre optik internet was down all day yesterday and I come home after a 12 hour shift and it’s still down. My wife works from home and our twins can’t watch TV..

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
-
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. 🙄
-
william yoachim (@wyoachim) reported from Nanaimo, British Columbia@Charlene_Kotze @batujet I actually heard one out a few months and switched . My bill is around $100 less for more services . Same channels , internet is better and now home security. I’ve been a life long Shaw guy but now @TELUS and very happy w service, product and cost

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@happyhamers @TELUS I know! I’ve had them to my place twice this year. The techs are great but the service is abysmal.

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

MJfarm8 (@ellejames8) reported@ryangerritsen Yep I called @TELUS to cancel 10 sim cards for our business (we have 60 other active ones), shoulda been easy to do. I had all the numbers, she even asked me to email the list to her & it took her OVER AN HOUR. I swear they do it so you give up & hang up. Ridiculous.

Ai AM CAVEMAN (@CanadaScamada) reportedWinnipegers 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

Ai AM CAVEMAN (@CanadaScamada) reported@Bell_MTSHelps The 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

Artur Kusi🅰️k (@ArturKusiaktbk) reported@UnLuckyStuey Firstnet is a premium service. Last price I saw was 20 dollars for connection. The use case is to bring the world firstnet type capability. Canada is going to use it for their first responders on PSBN network with TELUS and Bell. The bears miss the forest from the trees.

Aphy Sykes (@AphySykes) reported@MahyJ @Bell Seriously just switch to Telus while youre a fresh customer. Promise you'll save a lot of money in the long run. 20 years with Bell and for whatever reason they choose to be the most expensive provider in Canada.
