Paul Atkinson 🇨🇦 (@Paulysworld) reported from Gatineau, Quebec@mikesbloggity @jkenney @shandro It's their plan to privatize for $ healthcare. They only care about $ & the wealthy. They gut AB healthcare, fire 11k during a pandemic, refuse to shut down, go MIA, & will "suddenly" come up with a "private sector" (Telus health) solution... this is skulduggery they're Ghouls.

EA (@ealculumbre) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUSsupport I can confirm this is happening in #Ottawa area codes starting with K1Y. Please bring this up to management - Telus tech support has already acknowledged the issue and now we’d like to see it resolved. Keep us posted with steps your taking to resolve it.

Christina (@CJAY932) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUSsupport I ordered Airpods on June 11th and was told they would take 3-5 business days to arrive. Still haven’t received any updates or shipping info. HELP! @TELUS
-
Michael Suddard (@MichaelSuddard) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@Ottawa_Biker @OC_Transpo Normally I don't have any issues in the tunnels until this past week and late week before. So strange. The St Laurent Mall Telus network usually picks me up no problem. Maybe I should try that one too. 🤔
-
Paul McGuire (@mcguirp) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@intudes @TELUS I think they use that to their advantage. Also doesnt excuse terrible customer service @TELUSsupport
-
EA (@ealculumbre) reported from Ottawa, OntarioAs long as I’m on LTE my #Ottawa reception is at 1 bar and reception extremely choppy. When changed to 3G service goes up to 2/3 bars & audio conversations became possible. - We shouldn’t have to choose between the two @TELUS @TELUSsupport
-
Paul McGuire (@mcguirp) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@JenniferNKing @TELUS @TELUSsupport That's what they said. Will never travel with a @telus phone again. Lesson learned. Terrible customer service.
-
Michael.L (@OCT_Fan) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@HeneinThorn I’m pretty happy with Virgin 🇨🇦 @virginmobilecan Though I’m thinking of going back to Virgin as TELUS has the worst policy re paying ones bill .
-
Chris Beeston (@Sunston72) reported from Ottawa, OntarioBad guys score 2-1 for the @Ottawa67sHockey 2nd period. #NoQuit #AllConnected @TELUS
-
Paul Boyer (@PBoyer82) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUS fix your dang app please. I can’t pay my bill through the app because it won’t load. I either get wrong password or cannot connect to server. #help

A.G.LEN (@AmmarGlen) reported from Ottawa, OntarioHello @Rogers i had the worst experience with you in the past couple of days and i am done with you #Ottawa #Canada #bell #telus #fido everybody stay away from rogers and you will be charged extra and you wouldn’t even know unless you look for it
-
Eric Goodwin (@auxonic) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUS I support government owned and operated infrastructure because the big telcos like you refuse to invest in it. You’re looking for a handout and to that I say “shove off”
-
Will O'Neill (@wtoneill) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUS should market a home security service that blocks the daily ads I receive from Telus for their home security service.
-
Eric Goodwin (@auxonic) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@human3500 @ALL_CAPS Lol... do we have an approach? Other than telus/bell looking for handouts to marginally improve poor service
-
David McGuffin (@mcguffindavid) reported from Chelsea, Quebec@perreaux I ultimately quit Bell mobility and went to Telus for a variety of reasons which could be summed up as “I really didn’t feel like they gave a crap if I was a customer or not.” So far Telus feels more attentive. Kind of like the difference between Air Canada and WestJet.
-
Bram Abramson (@bramabramson) reported from Hull, Quebec@Mark_Goldberg @TELUS And not just normalizing for units consumed, either: also reasonable bundle allocation & a dozen other things. Dividing aggregates by aggregates is the worst approach, except all the others -- better would be to opt out of market analysis. Which apparently has perils too. #crtc

Vivek Dehejia (@vdehejia) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUSsupport Thanks, nope I didn't transfer this and got it from Telus last fall. Worked fine till this glitch today. But just had a friend call me and it's working again now. So I assume it was perhaps network congestion or something else temporary. Anyway, all good now!
-
ambivalent_one (@ambivalent_one) reported from Ottawa, OntarioHi @madebygoogle I love my Pixel 6 Pro but it's by far the phone with the worst signal strength I've had in my area. @koodo and @TELUS both have low signal normally but of the phone I've had this is the only one that has dropped calls and gone offline. I'm in the burbs.
-
Heather Badenoch 💉💉💉 (@HeatherBadenoch) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@mrabson Any chance you’re on Telus or Koodo? Their free Call Control service blocks robocalls. I haven’t had one in more than a year.

Techjunkie Aman (@Techjunkie_Aman) reportedThey didn’t leak passwords. They leaked something worse. Crunchyroll breach: • ~1.2M emails confirmed (subset of a larger dataset) • Third-party vendor (Telus Digital) compromised • Malware → Okta SSO → internal tools exposed (~24h access) Data taken: • Emails, names, usernames • IPs + approximate locations • Full support tickets (billing issues, chats, activity logs) That means attackers know: • Your recent support conversations • Billing disputes or issues • Account activity patterns Enough to send highly convincing phishing. Timeline: • Mar 12 → initial breach • Mar 23 → ~6.8M emails claimed • Late Mar → data sold on forums • Apr 4 → 1.2M verified (HIBP) Crunchyroll says no passwords leaked. But context > passwords. What to do: • Change password (especially if reused) • Enable 2FA (authenticator app) • Check HIBP • Watch for targeted emails/SMS This was a supply-chain breach.
-
Akemi Mokoto (@UnAmericanOtaku) reported@DHurleu @ChibiReviews For Crunchyroll? Not at all. Telus was hacked, not Crunchyroll. Crunchyroll's mistake is the same mistake every company has made: Outsourcing to **** hole countries to save money and not disclosing what happened quickly. It's common, not unique.

Zdc360 (@zdc360) reported@vinxtry ?? is this a telus mobile thing, i use AT&T and i’ve never received a quiz
-
Dallas Scott (@DallasHansScott) reportedDon’t know why I’m having such issues with @TELUS representatives…getting inconsistent answers and EPP offers - unable to offer what I was promised a few short days ago, I just want to upgrade 😭 #TelusMobility
-
HeyItsCherry (@HeyItsCherrry) reported@jaimepern You'll get better internet with Telus... but their customer service is pretty dogshit - slightly worse than Rogers/Shaw. Call Rogers, tell them you're a telus customer and ask what they'll offer you to switch. Take that, call Telus - leverage it for a great deal.
-
MRD (@MRD87694463) reported@VanIsleInvestor Dont forget the security breach was known about for months before telus admitted to it. Did telus pay? are they allowing their customer data to get released? No outcome yet, but the timing is also perfectly aligned with Darren leaving. Just customer data, or something else?

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
