  Still unsatisfied @TELUS . It's taken over a year to resolve a billing issue. I call, they credit. They reset my plan to cancel this issue. Still seeing "additional email". Support's key line: I understand your frustration. I've heard it so often, I know it's part of training.

  DEAR AT&T and TELUS, Are you paying attention? A company is only as good as it's service and attention to the most remote and poorest members of its service area. (I still say the same thing about unions too). When areas in SE Alaska don't have phone and internet their lives are highly at risk. It's not just about a drop in communications, gaming, streaming movies or social media. It's a drop in safety tools for these island dwellers too. Not to mention that with millions of tourists every year robbing the locals of bandwidth with high data traffic locals end up in last place as highpaying users for lack of competition. Ketchikan’s main internet (KPU fiber via the Canada route, plus cellular from providers like GCI/AT&T) has "finite capacity". When multiple cruise ships dock and thousands of tourists flood downtown with phones and devices, and that shared bandwidth gets congested—slowing speeds for everyone. When the service is down, many local busineses lose the use of POS machines (but still pay the rent to have them). Starlink solves this in several practical ways: -independant backup, -reliable pathways and -outage resilience. Starlink is already a tremendous service for the Alaska Marine Highway System which is a class 1 essential service for SE Alaska, whereby these ferries are often the only way form of transportation between island communities for so many of these remote residents. In this age of high technology, the current tools, even with their own redundancies, just don't offer enough protections. This isn't an advertisement nor do I get paid for mentioning Starlink. But I will post pricing for SE Alaska residents because these remote areas need options: As of August 2026, Starlink’s regular U.S. Residential pricing (which applies in Southeast Alaska) is: Residential 100 Mbps: $55/month Residential 200 Mbps: $85/month Residential MAX: $130/month New customers can download the Starlink mobile app and the sign up opens on the initial screen. Competition is a beautiful thing. Just saying...

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS @Bell whoever tf owns the tower that was knocked out in St. John’s recently is gonna have to do something about it. Service has been terrible ever since. The year is 2026. I’m in a major city on a main drag and shouldn’t be losing service flat out

  @Cat4714 @Martyupnorth @Bell Telus is worse. Hubby was paying over $100. Had a special for seniors we could get for US/Mex calling. Down to $45/mo but on phone for over 1 hour. I'm sure call was to india celebrating daliwall in background. Painful

  @BoomerDivvies @TELUS Amen!! The duopoly situation that CRTC allowed with Rogers and Telus is one of the leading reasons they can get away with such horrific service.

  @Critter_Paths @RebelNewsOnline Oh gosh…ya…I’ve been doing this for 30 years…building switching centers, to central offices/and now Data Centers and supporting/installing/upgrading/planning/budgeting/building these projects and all the “wires” on poles, towers and in holes - all over 🇨🇦. Built networks for Bell, Roger’s, Telus, Cogeco, Videotron, Eastlink, SaskTel, NRBN, NFTC, C3Telecon, Sogetel……I can go on. Here is the scoop on Data Centers. Yes, DC’s take a ton of energy in the form of electricity and some “do” water. Not all are built the same. For context a simple (small) 50,000 square foot DC - can provide service to approximately 30M people globally again on today’s AI standards. This DC, again for example, can create over 3 to 7m in tax revenue per year for any community (and way more for the feds could get some DST from the 🌎. So this DC, for context, sits in a Dollar Store size building……and delivers a huge boost to the locals….to build that they employed over 200 part time and now hire 50 people to manage it daily…the 200 that built this, build the next - a team a crew, and they get way more $ after every gig….talk to me….I fly around talking about this. I think we have a better job to do in communicating the overall business, environment, economic, and social aspects of them….I have work to do….but Canada is cold, has a ton of land, resources, and a ton of access to global fiber connectivity. If not, I’ll install it with all my friends 👍🇨🇦👍

  @JustMeJamie64 @Rogers Telus is just as bad plus most of their technicians are from India, completely useless and no troubleshooting skills
