-
Mike Richter (@mrichter37) reported from Mill Bay, British Columbia@Shawhelp @ShawInfo I just waited an hour and forty five minutes on hold after being told at the beginning that the wait time was between 35 and 45 minutes. This is the third time I’ve called in the last three days with extended wait time and shitty service. Can’t wait for @TELUS

Revheidi Koschzeck (@RevheidiK) reported from Langford, British ColumbiaHow is it the Province's fault that a million people couldn't follow simple instructions and wait to call for a vaccination until it was their turn? Not having a callback queue was definitely a big mistake which I hope Telus will fix. #blamegame #CommonSense
-
H. Neal Cropper (@RealNealDeal) reported from Metchosin, British Columbia@p_barbeau @TuraEmanuela @DrKathleenRoss1 Sorry, I have to ask. How does Telus get away with charging service fees to access longitudinal care then? I don't get how they're allowed to do what doctors cannot.
-
Brent Smithurst (@brentsmi) reported from Colwood, British ColumbiaAll I want for Christmas is more than one bar (at best) of cel service in Royal Bay. Get it together, @TELUS /@Bell. I’ll switch to @rogers if they’ll do something about this. 2.5 years of this is ridiculous!
-
Jenn Tranmer (@vicmomdoc) reported from Langford, British Columbia@antric @TELUS @ShawInfo Yup @ShawInfo asked me to DM. Then I did. Then they didn’t respond. I tried their virtual assistant online. No response either. I get better service in Nicaragua than here. @cbcmarketplace help.
-
Cheri S (@Cheri_L_S) reported from Victoria, British ColumbiaTelus has made 0 attempt to contact me about my TV taking longer than the "few weeks" promised when I signed up 16 wks ago. I was told weeks ago there was a Covid related delay & that someone would contact me. No contact. No stock problems @ Bestbuy. Where is my TV? @TELUSsupport
-
Finnegan66🍀 (@Finnegan661) reported from Sidney, British Columbia@TELUS I am absolutely disgusted as a long time customer. 3x now having to reschedule and be on hold for over an hour. How is that customer service???? 🤔 only to be told now that the rescheduled appointment 'may' go forward jesus
-
Lloyd Mildon (@LloydMildon) reported from Oak Bay, British ColumbiaOn my @TELUS optik TV I now have to watch ads before I am permitted to move on to the programming. This is horrible. I’m the customer. I’m the guy paying the bills. Just stop it, @telus. @telussupport
-
Christiane Sadeler (@ChrisSadeler) reported from Saanich, British Columbia@TELUS you may want to check Twitter for comments on @koodo. Or check the @koodo community board. A lot of upset people for terrible service. One more try from me to get the money due to me and my next move is CRTC. #unbelievable corporate arrogance and inaptitude.

🇨🇦🏳️🌈 Talia M. Wilson #GenXZeneca 🌈🇺🇸 (@olyfilmgirl) reported from Colwood, British ColumbiaSwitching back to Shaw for internet. Although Telus's website said our service wouldn't change, the guy Drew talked to said we could only get slower internet. So, just waiting for Shaw order to process. And who new self install was a thing?
-
Fully Vaxed Gordie Logan (@GordieLogan) reported from Langford, British ColumbiaOh @TELUS, as a 30yr+ customer, I’ve never been so frustrated. I just had my appt for tomorrow cancelled. All because fiber hasn’t been run to the house yet. This is after an appt last week was cancelled for the same reason. Plz note, I made last weeks appt a month ago.
-
Sue Stroud she/her 🍊❤️💪🏼 (@suestroud) reported from Central Saanich, British Columbia@PeninsulaNews Who cares? We already know as daily consumers how bad Telus is. They apologized. BCLibs need to find something useful to do.
-
Brandon ::1 (@brandonscript) reported from Victoria, British Columbia@cohix Hmmm I had a pretty bad experience with them years ago, but if my choice is them or Telus idk!
-
Jody Klassen (@bellasugarsega) reported from Langford, British ColumbiaI was a @Shawhelp customer for 5 years, until today. Cancelling my service and going with Telus instead. Don’t use this company for internet services, all you’ll have is regrets and ****** hardware.
-
Zach (@zaxbux) reported from Victoria, British ColumbiaDoes anyone have any idea why some @Microsoft web properties (recently LinkedIn and Visual Studio Marketplace) randomly refuse connections? Appears to only be an issue on @Telus IPv6. Mobile data and IPv4 are not affected. 🤬🤯
-
Tesla Tours (@tesla_tours) reported from Victoria, British Columbia@EmmaCParston @Google People complain that high quality electronic products by companies like Apple and Tesla are overpriced until they waste valuable time on the alternatives. For my part, I’m wishing I’d stayed with Fido & Shaw instead of getting duped into Telus’ marketing-first service-last model
-
Reg Brick (@hellonature) reported from Colwood, British Columbia@BridgieCasey @TELUS Block them. They are a horrible money loving, aggressive company w **** customer service.
-
Penny Holt (@canukgenie) reported from Saanich, British Columbia@gillrh They are the worst, along with mobile phone plans. You should have been a fly on the wall where Chris took on Telus. Not pretty.
-
Sarah Campden (she, her) (@scampden) reported from Saanich, British ColumbiaI haven't used it yet, but for those that have, is Telus Health fee based service? I think I may need an antibiotic and the thought of waiting outside a non-existent walk in clinic is awful #bcmed #yyj

Episode 9 (@parodycab) reported@P_Ratchford @TELUSsupport Does Telus support illegal drug use? Yes or No only please.
-
Janice Chytra (@daisydexter4) reported@janmedo49 Pierre has no real world experience. None. The only real job he’s had was as a telephone customer service rep for Telus. That’s it! 😳 He’s not qualified to run Canada. Period.
-
Andrew Sair (@sair_andrew) reported@TyDaneGonzalez Yeah same. I thankfully realized earlier today so I was able to get my buddy’s Telus login. So stupid though.

Ai AM CAVEMAN (@CanadaScamada) reportedThe 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

Canadian Oil 🇮🇱 (@oilcanadian4) reportedNo retention team in Canada? You offshored everything. After 20 years as your partner, I’m done. And when did it become acceptable to make a customer wait an HOUR? FU, @TELUS
-
Ken Shapka (@kcshapka) reported@TELUSsupport I have been trying to get a human to call me for 6 hrs Telus is a joke , charging me $200.00 to have tech come out and not fix the issue then not respond to my request to speak to a human !! @GlobalEdmonton @citytvnews1
-
Sharon Daniel ©️🎭 (@sharondaniel91) reportedSo here goes again, @TELUSsupport @TELUS If my contract ends on April 22, 2026, why would you charge me the full price of the service before the contract ends ? For example, if I pay $65, the service should be $113 after April 22, not before. You’re breaking the contract??
-
Inuinnaq Kendal (@AngelStein732) reported@TELUSsupport A couple of days too late to ask. But the issue only lasted 2 or 3 hours. It was interesting because I was telling one of my plane spotter friends in the US, and even Verizon (a partner of Telus?) was giving him issues on and off the same day.

Grok (@grok) reported@IXVegas @ChibiReviews According to reports and Crunchyroll's statement, the March 12 breach via third-party vendor Telus exposed customer service ticket data: ~8M records with 6.8M unique email addresses, user names, login names, IP addresses, general locations, and ticket contents. Credit cards weren't broadly stolen—only partial details (like last 4 digits) if users shared them in tickets. No passwords or full payment databases confirmed exposed. Investigation ongoing; no ongoing access found.
