  @entwistled is CEO of @telus perhaps worst company in Canada. More interested in PR & virtue signalling than actually serving customers. Inept, bureaucratic, misleading, hopelessly horrid customer service & actually bankrupt of purpose & direction. Avoid this clown show of a co!

  I’m trying to contact @Telus business. Their website has no contact number. Took me 10 minutes and I found it on another site. I will do everything possible not to deal with @telus or Shaw. Imagine if you had a service interruption? Can’t call them? Ridiculous.

  Who is better than @telus for home WiFi? Currently paying for the most expensive internet that is slow, intermittently down, and has the worst customer service.

  MST time? 7:48 in YVR-8:48 MST? @TELUSsupport your website say’s 9pm MST voicemail said you’re closed. (Called earlier &got estimated 90min wait time) However... I may be wrong with the times? Being charged for ADT and @telus SmartHome-need help sorting out please!

  I love how Telus wears "we have the best customer service" on its sleeve and it still billed me AFTER I CUT MY SERVICE. I hate your service even more without even using it. That's a new low for a company in my books.

  @TerryPlatt5 @TELUS @Shawhelp I had a similar problem when I had Shaw. Turns out old cable has impedance that isn’t compatible with modern digital equipment. Not all technicians know that.

  @MOOMANiBE Telus outage of some kind, it’s weirdly ‘mostly’ out but not fully ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

  @roguekiwi1 I feel your pain. It is now 3:45pm Saturday. I finally got through at 3pm today after starting at noon. They said the reboot of the system that they suspended in error would take 15minutes it has been 45 minutes and still nothing. 😡😡😡#telussucks #telus #terrible

  @GlobalBC As a member of Telus Life Plus, I am jumping no queues. All medical procedures I receive are outside of Telus & are in the MSP “lottery” to receive health care. I don’t have a family Doctor so how can keeping me out of visiting emergency or walk in clinics hurt the system?

  And yes. They customer service people are delightful and always eager to help. I love @TELUSsupport . But their job is made harder by unusable systems. I’ve put hours and hours and hours into trying to keep Telus as a provider but I it’s time to leave the abusive relationship.

  BdblE (@MsYouDoYou) reported 44 minutes ago from Burnaby, British Columbia

  @TheFalconer @TELUS Also **** off. As a business owner who processes transactions, I pay insane fees for everything I do. And so do the clients. And probably the staff. Pay your own fees you dumb *****.

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS #customersupport Is Telus shutdown? There is no customer rep to pick up customers calls to get cell phone support. My God! I disconnected phone after 2 hours

  @pattibacchus @TELUS @TELUSsupport I use Lightspeed and have been paying about $40/month for years, as a very heavy internet user. Not sure how the service is because I've almost never needed it. I replaced a modem once and they were fine. Streaming is fine but YouTube uploads are kinda slow. I'm happy with them.

  @marchaslam1 @TELUS Not sure fault lies with the install tech. He did a great job, everything worked but it took time before voicemail disappeared. Two years ago I had similar problem. Was told I’d have to switch to fibre to fix voicemail, I said I’d go to Shaw, then they miraculously fixed it.

  @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

  @ProvoGal01 @TELUS @TELUSsupport Because it costs a fraction and every company on earth does it. There ain’t a damn thing you can do about it. Like it or not that’s the reality.

  Yeah, @TELUS just about every day I get calls from someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be Kirk, or George, or Frank bugging me to buy your products. All it does it make me HATE you and never buy from you.

  I can't even begin to express my extreme frustration with @telus as a company and their customer service workflow. My father passed away 3 weeks ago. I've been trying to settle his account, close accounts, pay bills, etc. I've spent 5 hours on the phone to date... 6 calls. And just received another $500+ "overdue" bill that I settled weeks ago. And you try to call their support number on their website. And instead you get a sales pitch... no opt out. So I "press #" and it kicks you out saying this number doesn't work in my calling area (I'm in Canada). So I write down the number they suggest... only to have it come right back to the same voice workflow... and the same death loop. I was able to reroute my Father's hydro bill in less than 10 minutes. I don't think Telus realizes how much potential revenue they are losing as a result of their clunky, poor quality controlled customer experience. Try to book a call back? Only to be told they will call back in three days... and when they do... the automated voice system is entirely in French.... And EVERY single rep I talk to ends up just trying to upsell me on a new service... when all I am trying to do is shut down my father's accounts, settle his bills, and move on. Every step of my experience with Telus has been unnecessarily painful.

  @ProvoGal01 @TELUS @TELUSsupport Are you dumb? Option A: Call Telus and get an Indian support person in india. Option B: Call Telus and get an Indian support person in Canada. Once they infiltrate they use extreme nepotism and only hire other Indians. They take a monopoly on certain enterprises. Call centers are one of them.. By using an OG Indian not a Canadian Larping Indian Telus pays 10c/hour vs $16/hour for the exact same thing. It’s just business.

  @RobWardCGY @JeromyYYC @republic_yyc Telus did a lot of damage and upsetting people last time they were in the upgrade mode. With a sales guy right behind. We know.
