  @stuff99 @TELUSsupport @TELUS Go to TSN then hit the "View Guide" button when you touch the screen, then toggle the channel down to 911. I went with that as soon as I saw the other game going to OT.

  @vania_pacheco Telus has never been a friend in any place in BC for me. With Rogers for phone and Shaw for net, but no cable for years as streaming works for me. Too many providers, your choice :)

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport we just called for an issue with our tv. After providing our emails address the support rep requested our PASSWORD. You are a technology company. Shame on you. Many oblivious people use the same password for various accounts you are *asking* for issues.

  @Rogers You got greedy and claiming GM Place but that wasnt enough you have to overtake Shaw. But what you didnt do was increase your staff to match your accounts accumulation...to the point where, I heard "Sorry, we are too busy to take your call, goodbye" Over and over and over for more than a month. Pssst It's Business 101 to NEVER EVER let that happen. Oh and Ive switched to Telus. Am I one lost customer, or 1 of many? 🤔

  @bscholl $ASTS Blake Scholl Discovers AST’s Thesis, Then Forgets AST Exists Blake correctly identifies the hybrid terrestrial/satellite future, then skips enough due diligence to declare Starlink the “only good” satellite network while ignoring the company purpose-built for exactly that architecture. AST SpaceMobile has nearly 60 MNO relationships representing roughly 3 billion subscribers. AT&T and Verizon are strategic partners. Vodafone, Rakuten, Bell, TELUS and stc are partners. Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica and Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s parent, are now conducting integration testing across Europe using ordinary smartphones and carrier spectrum. The fatal blow to Blake’s premise arrived three months before his post: AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon announced a technology-neutral D2D venture explicitly intended to support multiple satellite providers, preserve existing agreements and increase competition. The carriers’ published strategy is the opposite of surrendering themselves to an exclusive Starlink bottleneck. The products are not equivalent either. T-Mobile still advises using Starlink outdoors with a clear view of the sky and warns that coverage may be unavailable inside buildings, aircraft and other obstructed locations. AST’s giant phased arrays are designed to provide carrier-integrated broadband, including voice, video, apps and “one wall in” connectivity. AST is carrier-neutral infrastructure that aligns with MNOs instead of trying to subordinate them. Blake identified the future, ignored one of its central companies, contradicted the carriers’ actual strategy, and typed “QED?” as if kissing Elon’s *** were a substitute for due diligence.

  @TaraArmstrongBC The bean counters and Wildfire operations are married but sleep in different rooms. The ministry is actually one of the poorer agencies of the government and sort of like the US marines there is rarely all the equipment and personell one wants but generally people are gung ho and will always make do. There are some internal skirmishes and rivalries like contract vs ministry firefighters, or between crews but generally it's friendly and all in all BC has one of the most professional and world class wildfire suppression systems. I can say that because I've been doing it for 10 years and have worked with firefighters from a dozen countries and half the provinces and territories. When it comes to finances it's a different world. For example some idiot thought it would be a great idea for Telus (the phone company) to do the ministries payroll, a universally hated arrangement by crews. After all on a slow year there are a thousand firefighters sitting around on base or doing make work projects on the governments dime. Why bother with additional funding, it doesn't buy votes. On a hot year one does what can be done with resources available until a state of emergency is declared and then the money rolls in and the millions flow. Probably costing considerably more than if sufficient crews and equipment were allocated in the first place. I'm not in management but the solution is probably in training and maintaining an additional 1000 ministry firefighters, expansion of the Para program, a few additional air assets and properly funding the type 2 and type 3 contract resources instead of a chronic loss of professional firefighters leaving the profession because there is no work or incentive to stay on a slow year. On a forest management perspective perhaps allowing green belts (natural fire breaks) to grow instead of spraying glyphosate (dries out the forest) for profit, or hiring enough Rangers to police the logging companies to get them to actually stay in line and manage the forests the way they pretend they do. Current logging practice drops water tables. But that's a conversation nobody wants to have

  @kristelxo @TELUSsupport Good luck with Telus! I had my internet account paid and service terminated back in Apr and they sent a bill to collections that took me several calls to prove that I owed them nothing 🙄🤬

  As a Saskatchewan resident, I never expected to be contemplating switching to Rogers Wireless. But @Bell, your latest decision to cap the amount of data one can use on hotspot in a month is downright boneheaded and @TELUS is no better (having made the same decision).

  @MPelletierCIO If she was managing my money, I would redeem my investment. I'm guessing she isn't an actual Telus customer, so is clueless. The problem is the hideous customer service, they would be better if nobody picked up the phone. I cancelled my cable, took weeks.

  @Lidsville @Rogers This sounds like when I was being called by Telus for months about their security service. I kept asking to be taken off the list, they kept calling. Telecoms are evil

  Three things contact center leaders are measuring instead of deflection: **1. Resolution quality score** — Did the customer's problem actually get solved? Not "was the call ended" but "did the issue recur within 7 days?" **2. Post-interaction sentiment delta** — How did the customer feel after AI vs. human? TELUS found that proactive AI outreach (before the customer calls to cancel) had sentiment scores 34% higher than reactive deflection. **3. Revenue at risk per interaction** — Tag calls by customer segment. A 3-year enterprise contract holder calling about billing deserves a different AI routing decision than a trial user with a password reset.
