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.

Finnegan66🍀 (@Finnegan661) reported from Sidney, British Columbia@therealjugni @TELUS I can tell you that I was able to fix the issue but no resolve with the original person. It's very sad but we are looking at other options now. We have been a telus customer for over 20 years #shameonyoutelus

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.
-
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
-
Tess van Straaten (@tessvanstraaten) reported from Mill Bay, British Columbia@racquets100 @TELUS I didn’t even have to ask, let alone threaten to leave! I was calling thinking I needed to upgrade my internet plan and maybe cut back TV service and the rep offered the upgrade for free AND the TV discount. Very impressed!
-
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

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.
-
Sue Stroud she/her 🍊❤️💪🏼 (@suestroud) reported from Central Saanich, British Columbia@mackenzie_moira @unionwill @TELUS Even without the pandemic, for the amount the gouge from us service should be far better whether phone, tv, internet etc.

Bill Perry (@Captnwilly) reported from Sidney, British Columbia@TELUSsupport how do we get Telus technical support to call us at home?

Sherry Merriam (@sherryella77) reported from Victoria, British ColumbiaGoing on day 8 & still no email on iPhone. Can’t get any of the old emails I need for this #militarymove What an absolute shit show. Im so mad I could spit nails. The “I’m sorry’s are getting super freaking old. Day 2 with no call back from TELUS even tho Im in queue #telusfail
-
Brandon Rylow (@brandonscript) reported from Saanich, British ColumbiaI didn’t cost Rogers a dime in staffing in the last 12 months, and I’ve been a pretty easy going customer for 15 years. I’m done though. I’m done being their customer. I want a cell phone plan with a company that isn’t this despicable, but sadly Telus and Bell are on that list.
-
West Coast Coco Mermaid 🧜🏾♀️ (@sherryella77) reported from Colwood, British Columbia@MACIConventions @TELUSsupport 30+ mins. I wish. I had to hang up at 2 hours and 3 mins. No one ever answers. I sent a DM to them on Friday and it was just answered 5 mins ago with a “sorry we can’t assist you via social media but we encourage you to call Telus”. Such a freaking joke.
-
Reg Brick (@hellonature) reported from Colwood, British Columbia@BridgieCasey @TELUS Block them. They are a horrible money loving, aggressive company w **** customer service.
-
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

michael eso (@mjeso) reported from Sidney, British Columbia@bcgeu @TELUS is a profitable company providing payroll services to the BC Government. Shameful that they are not prepared to treat their employees fairly!
-
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. 🤬🤯

-
Ronald (@TerrifyingWords) reported@JonFraserTF @TELUS Heh. Years ago I had to get the CRTC to force @TELUS to comply with their own terms of service. The amount of scripted dishonesty I experienced at multiple levels was unbelievable. No way it wasn’t corporate policy. Even their mandated apology was dishonest.
-
Steve Finlay (@SteveMFinlay) reported@TELUS Crisis averted! Service is much more reliable on the way back.
-
M.Brown (@MsMJBrown) reported@JonFraserTF @TELUS I bailed out of their TV service a year 18 months ago. Terrible service. The phone I switched over to Rogers 6 months ago. Because I have their home service my wireless is $25 a month for the same service as I was paying $120 a month with Telus. Better better customer service.
-
TheFallGuy (@TheFallGuy450) reported@JonFraserTF @TELUS Telus is the worst.
-
TheRooster (@HandsofScars) reported@JonFraserTF @TELUS I tried to get a new phone twice in the past year and both times the sales rep made the experience terrible so I simply left.

ChinoAleman (@chinoalemano) reportedEveryone'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. 📡

Dr. Billy Canada (@billycanada) reported@gatorgar Think long-term. In 3 to 4 years you won't be getting your phone service from AT&t or Telus or Bell or Rogers or whatever you'll get it from starlink. The AI that you use will be in starlink satellites. The taxi you take will be a robo taxi from Tesla. Tesla robots will be mowing your lawn too
-
PsudoMike 🇨🇦 (@PsudoMike) reported@KerrGordon Not typically — SIM cards are separate from the device. The phone connects to the network via the SIM (or eSIM). Telus framing it as hardware doesn't change that it's a mandatory access fee.

Raff 🇨🇦 🇲🇽 (@RaffMB) reported@TELUS @xrtsdhndvbh1 All TSN channels are down. Please get on it.

Dexter Uda (@DexterUda1962) reported@JonFraserTF @TELUS I've been with Rogers since they were CanTel. Never had an issue. Sure, I may pay a bit more, but my service is excellent, and so is customer service (if you know how to deal with them).
