  @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

  I 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

  @dewolfe001 @TELUS I really wanted to switch to Telus but everyone I spoke with was so inept I ended up staying with Shaw and their substandard service. I just couldn't imagine having to deal with them as a customer when discussing switching and becoming a customer was so very bad.

  Telus 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

  @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.

  How 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

  Switching 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?

  @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.

  ChinoAleman (@chinoalemano) reported 10 minutes ago

  Most of this map is noise to the average investor. But one name is quietly sitting on the layer everything else depends on, and almost nobody sees it. That name is $AMPG. The one that I think will do a parabolic move like $SIVE or $AAOI. Let me tell you the whole story. Look at where it sits: Connectivity & RF. The re-shored, certified domestic alternative for 5G, SATCOM and defense. One name in its lane. Here's why that lane is the one almost nobody is pricing correctly. Look at every other layer on this list. Photonics. Compute. Physical AI. Drones. Space. Energy. Every single one of them, at some point, has to move its signal somewhere. Data has to travel. And the layer that moves it through the air is RF, the radio. It's the connective tissue under the entire map. No radio, nothing else talks to anything. Now the problem that makes this a thesis and not just a product. America does not make its own radios. The companies that build the RF backbone of modern networks are all foreign: Nokia (Finland), Ericsson (Sweden), Samsung (Korea). The Chinese ones, Huawei and ZTE, are banned outright on national-security grounds. So the most powerful country on Earth, about to wire its economy, its defense and its AI into a wireless network, depends on other countries for the physical layer it runs on. That is a strategic vulnerability. Washington knows it. That's the gap $AMPG fills. AmpliTech is the only American company that designs and commercializes a 64T64R Massive MIMO O-RAN radio. That's the highest-capacity radio configuration in the modern stack, and it's the physical hardware that open AI-RAN runs on. Not the only one on Earth, Nokia and Ericsson make them too. The only American one. In a decade defined by re-shoring critical tech, that single word, American, is the whole point. And this isn't a pitch deck. It's already real. It's deployed at Telus, a Tier-1 North American carrier, running on live Open RAN sites alongside Samsung. It's a Strategic Partner in Open6G, the wireless hub funded by the US Department of Defense and run by Northeastern, sitting in the top partner tier right next to NVIDIA, Dell and Qualcomm. Its radio was the physical unit in the world's first open-source Massive MIMO AI-RAN demo, running with NVIDIA's Aerial software. And it was the only American-designed 64T64R radio to pass multi-vendor interoperability at the O-RAN ALLIANCE Global PlugFest. Then look at who shows up on its customer wall: NVIDIA, Amazon, IBM, Boeing, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, L3Harris, NASA. You do not land defense primes by accident. Those relationships take years of qualification before you're even in the room. That's a moat you can't fake. Now the fundamentals, because a thesis needs a business under it. 48% gross margins, up from 33%. Debt-free. $50M revenue guidance for the year (and they hit their prior guide, they don't have a habit of underdelivering). And managament promised even more. Real backlog, real LOIs. This is a company that already makes money doing this, today, with the radio. And stacked on top, for free, two pieces of optionality. AI-RAN, where towers become intelligent edge nodes, the demo with NVIDIA points at exactly where this goes. And quantum, where AMPG makes the cryogenic amplifiers superconducting quantum computers need for qubit readout (it's delivered proof-of-concept units to names like IBM and Google). I'll be honest about both: optionality, not the core thesis. Cheap call options on top of a real business, not the reason to own it. Here's the honest framing that actually makes this stronger, not weaker. $AMPG is not a chokepoint nobody can replace. AI runs without it. Other radio makers exist. I won't pretend it's irreplaceable, because it isn't. What it is, is the sovereign alternative. The American option in a layer the US increasingly refuses to outsource That's a strategic preference backed by policy and funding, not a technical monopoly. And strategically favored can re-rate a sub-$1B company just as hard as technically indispensable can. And the timing isn't subtle. The US just restricted its most advanced AI models from all foreign nationals, even allies. When a country starts walling off its critical tech from its own friends, it tells you exactly how it's going to treat the physical layer its AI economy runs on. It's going to want that made at home. So in a map full of chokepoints and physical inputs, $AMPG is the layer that moves the signal, re-shored, certified, and American. The screens get the attention. The infrastructure gets the returns. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

  @garymasonglobe @TELUS They are the worst I have come across. A few years back it took my countless hours on hold and 6 months of repeated calls to setup a new business land line. It's almost as if their staff get paid by making simple tasks as hard as possible

  ChinoAleman (@chinoalemano) reported 21 minutes ago

  Everyone'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. 📡

  $AMPG FYI this is not even including the AI-RAN market which is projected to add another $10b in revenue to the $20b from O-RAN by 2030. So that's a market that went from basically 0 to $30b in a little over 5 years. With 6G and AI Tailwinds to drive it another decade or more. You're probably wondering why this industry is growing so fast. It's not primarily the infrastructure upgrade to 6g. Yes it will help speed up the transition to advanced 5G and 6G BUT there's one main reason. Mobile Network Operator CEOs are fed up with vendor lock-in. They're tired of being dependent on a handful of suppliers with little leverage on pricing, innovation speed, or customization. O-RAN and AI-RAN give them the ability to mix hardware and software from multiple vendors. That drives down costs and unlocks new efficiencies and revenue streams. Right now the vendors know there's no competition. How do you think that's going for the MNOs during negotiations? O-RAN and AI-RAN change this. MNOs are speed running to alternatives at this point; the CAGR on O/AI-RAN prove this and $AMPG has proven their radios bring the results CEOs are looking for. The inflection point is this year. This quote from the Telus VP on using Samsung and Amplitech radios should tell you everything you need to know about how MNOs feel about single vendor lock in. It's stuck with me since I read it. It drives my conviction in $AMPG. “That’s our current mix. And it’s really important for us to have that deployment: if it [multi-vendor Open RAN] remains theoretical. It’s not good enough for us.” Do you feel conviction in Bureaus' sentiment? It should stick with you when you think about where $AMPG is headed.

  @JonFraserTF @TELUS I canceled my @TELUS account 8 months ago and sent back all my equipment. They kept sending me a bill for a home phone and I don't have one. I phoned Customer Service and had them credit my account for the charges. They did. I am still getting bills though!!!
