  @ALL_CAPS @TELUS How about cut off all incumbents from new spectrum auctions until there’s fibre literally every damn place.

  @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

  @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.

  @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

  Hi @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.

  As 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

  @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.

  @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.

  @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

  @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 .

  @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. 🤔

  @TELUS should market a home security service that blocks the daily ads I receive from Telus for their home security service.

  Amazing statement today by @TELUS - if you keep your phone on airplane mode while overseas you will still incur roaming charges. Only way to prevent this, leave you SIM card in Canada. Terrible #CustomerService by @TELUSsupport

  @garymasonglobe @TELUS I've had problems with Telus for the past year. Takes forever to get service. Been waiting 4 weeks for a new remote. Called today & was told the order was still being processed and a $30 charge fore the remote. Tech put in a new order saying 7 to 10 biz days.

  Temple 8 Research (@Temple_Eight) reported 41 seconds ago

  @ChairmansLedger Let's expand the argument then. Starting with what ASTS gets right. While ASTS has a small lead on broadband connectivity their real advantage is spectrum access via carrier exclusivity and they've locked up nearly 60 mobile network operator partners covering over 3 billion subscribers AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Telus, Bell, etc. SpaceX operates more than 9,000 satellites around 60% of everything in orbit. ASTS has roughly 9 including recent launches, and is trying to accelerate to about one launch a month to hit 2026 targets. Analysts are skeptical it can sustain this. Each BlueBird Block 2 is a 6,100 kg spacecraft, far more complex and expensive per unit than a Starlink satellite and AST can't launch anything close to the pace of Musk. SpaceX owns the rockets while ASTS has to buy rides on Falcon 9, New Glenn, etc. SpaceX's hardware iteration speed is, as one analysis put it, a real and durable advantage, and if their next gen satellites deliver on data performance, the competitive gap narrows while the scaling gap stays insurmountable. SpaceX already took the biggest carrier prize in the US being T-Mobile. So the carrier moat cuts both ways. SpaceX obviously has access to vast capital after IPO, with Starlink generating ~$10.4 billion of revenue in 2025. ASTS is pre-real-revenue at scale ($70.9 million in 2025) and funding itself with convertible debt and dilution. Do you really want to hold through heavy short to medium term dilution over years??

  @MrStache9 I had trouble with Telus. They’re all the same. The difference between Telus and Rogers is that Rogers doesn’t drop off 10 times a day. Telus was terrible as it seemed to be down more often than not.

  Hey @TELUS @TELUSsupport Today I spent over 50 minutes on the phone just to add ONE channel to my TV package. It’s 2026. We have AI agents, autonomous vehicles, and instant digital banking. Yet a basic account change still requires nearly an hour with customer service. This isn’t a technology problem—it’s a customer experience problem. Do better. #TelecomMonopoly #LackOfCompetition Cc: @CRTCeng

  @JonFraserTF @TELUS You fell for the "lease phone" trick. It's the same as leasing a car. Get the car, return it when your lease is up, and pay for any damage to the car. I never understood why that lease contract was legal in Canada. Next time only consider contracts where you own the phone.

  Everyone's focused on $AMPG's US story. And fair enough, they're expanding fast across America. The only American 64T64R AI-RAN radio, deployed at Telus, a Strategic Partner in the DoD-funded Open6G hub next to $NVDA and $QCOM, and the CEO just said new major carriers may go straight to POs next quarter. The US story alone is plenty. But here's what almost nobody is connecting: it was never going to stop at America. On the last earnings call, CEO Fawad Maqbool pointed somewhere else entirely: "Our success being the largest O-RAN deployment in America is helping us reach out and reach further into Europe and other areas of the world". That's the strategy in one sentence. Win the flagship at home, then use that credibility as a passport into other markets. And it isn't just talk. The groundwork is already there. Receipt 1, the concrete one: AMPG signed a 5-year supplier agreement with Fujitsu Spain back in October 2024, explicitly expanding its reach across Europe, Africa and the Middle East. So when the CEO says "Europe," there's already a signed, multi-year channel underneath the words. Receipt 2 is hiding in plain sight: the United Kingdom. Look at AmpliTech's customer wall and you'll find Digital Catapult. Most people scroll right past it. But Digital Catapult isn't a random logo. It's a UK government-backed innovation organization, funded through Innovate UK and DSIT (the UK's Department for Science, Innovation and Technology). And it runs SONIC Labs, the country's flagship Open RAN testing facility. Here's where AMPG enters. Its 64T64R Massive MIMO radio was tested at the O-RAN Global PlugFest in London, hosted at SONIC Labs, with HTC's G-REIGN providing the DU/CU stack and AmpliTech bringing the radio. The only American radio in the room, validated inside a UK government-funded laboratory. Now the part that makes it interesting. Who advises SONIC Labs? All four of Britain's major operators: EE/BT, Three, Virgin Media O2 and Vodafone UK. They sit on its advisory board, shaping what they need from Open RAN vendors and acting as potential future buyers of the vendors who pass through. So picture it. AMPG's radio validated in a government-backed UK lab, whose advisory board is a who's-who of every major British carrier. The entire UK Open RAN buying ecosystem, in one room, watching the only American radio perform. Now let me be completely honest, because that's the only way this is worth anything. There is no signed UK contract. The British operators advise SONIC Labs, they do not own it, and they haven't bought anything from AMPG yet. This was a product-validation milestone, not a revenue event. Anyone telling you the UK government or a British carrier is about to hand AMPG a deal is getting ahead of the facts. A foot in the door is not a sale. But here's why it matters AMPG keeps showing up in exactly the rooms that matter. The US DoD-funded Open6G hub. The O-RAN Global PlugFest as the only American 64T64R radio to pass. A signed channel into Europe via Fujitsu Spain. And now a UK government-backed lab advised by every major British operator. And the CEO saying they'll expand to Europe. That's the pattern. The same playbook, repeated across the Western world: get the only American radio validated, get it in front of the buyers, and let the sovereignty tailwind do the rest. One market at a time. This isn't a company waiting to be discovered. It's methodically getting itself in front of every major Open RAN buyer in the US and Europe, one validation at a time. The contracts are the next step, not the first one. A foot in the door isn't a deal. But you never get the deal without it first. And AMPG's foot is now in a lot of very important doors. Still sub-$1B while all of this quietly compounds. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

  @garymasonglobe @TELUS the problem is you have to publicly shame them to get any semblance of service . . . this is a tactic I have resorted to several tuimes
