  Tess van Straaten (@tessvanstraaten) reported 21 seconds ago 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!

  Bill Perry (@Captnwilly) reported 3 minutes ago from Sidney, British Columbia

  @TELUSsupport how do we get Telus technical support to call us at home?

• 
  David Martin (@SailorsDavid) reported 6 minutes ago from Pender Island, British Columbia

  @TELUSBusiness I’m done with Telus, I’ve been with them for over 20 years. This latest fiasco with Telus email being down for 3 days was completely unacceptable and then to kiss and make up with a $10 discount is an insult. Find the missing e-transfers!! I’m going to Shaw

  @bcgeu @TELUS is a profitable company providing payroll services to the BC Government. Shameful that they are not prepared to treat their employees fairly!

  @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.

  @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.

  @TELUS sucks 10mins with @Shawhelp and it's all sorted for Friday installation...

  I 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.

  Mike Richter (@mrichter37) reported 25 minutes ago 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

  @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

  Sue Stroud she/her 🍊❤️💪🏼 (@suestroud) reported 36 minutes ago 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.

  @DrRitaMc @cpsbc_ca @BCFamilyDoctors Hahahahha is that us after death? Maybe that is a new service telus health could offer? Communication with the dead doctor?

  Sarah Campden (she, her) (@scampden) reported 41 minutes ago from Saanich, British Columbia

  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

  @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.

  Finnegan66🍀 (@Finnegan661) reported 57 minutes ago 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

• 
  Finnegan66🍀 (@Finnegan661) reported 59 minutes ago from Sidney, British Columbia

  @TELUSsupport A little late? We have been Telus customers for years. The problem has been rectified now. After being on hold on 3 sep occasions for more than an hour. Not great customer service unfortunately

  He's right, but letting Cohere and Telus grift taxpayers isn't going to fix it

  TELUS (@TELUS) reported 8 minutes ago

  @esSpyderMonkey Because TELUS TV+ streams live TV, we are legally bound by CRTC broadcast loudness laws (-24 LUFS), while apps like YouTube master their audio much 'hotter' (-14 LUFS). To fix the gap on Apple TV, try going to Settings > Video and Audio > turn on 'Reduce Loud Sounds'

  @TELUS Crisis averted! Service is much more reliable on the way back.

  Was it too late to buy $AXTI or $SIVE at $30, after they'd already run 600%? The answer is obvious: no, it wasn't. The people who stayed out "because it had already gone up too much" missed most of the move. Lately people ask me "Is it too late to buy $AMPG"? I haven't sold a single share. And that alone answers the question. Because if I truly believed it was too late to buy, what I'd really be telling you is that it's time to sell. They're the same sentence with a different face. "Too late to buy" and "time to sell" mean exactly the same thing. And I'm not selling. So I can't tell you it's too late without my own actions calling me a liar. Here's what people get backwards. "Late" and "early" feel like they're about the price. About the chart. About whether you caught the move or missed it. They're not. Not for a company at this stage. It comes down to one thing only: whether you trust what the company actually is. Think about AXTI and SIVE. The people who sold or never entered "because it had already run 600%" were staring at the chart, not the business. The ones who held or bought were looking at the thesis. If you trusted the company, $30 was just a stop on a much longer road. If you didn't, you thought it was late, and you'd have thought it was late at any price. Because that's the trap: if you don't trust the company, it was late at $3, it's late at $8, and it'll still feel late at $20. The chart was never your real question. Your real question was always whether you believed in it, just disguised as "timing". So instead of asking me about timing, ask yourself whether you believe the thesis. Let me tell you why I do. This is the only American company commercializing the 64T64R AI-RAN radio, the physical hardware the open AI-RAN future runs on. It's already deployed at Telus, a Tier-1 carrier. It's a Strategic Partner in the DoD-funded Open6G hub, in the top tier next to NVIDIA, Dell and Qualcomm, with its radio already tested alongside NVIDIA's Aerial software. That's not a meme. That's a real position in a layer the US is actively trying to re-shore for national security. Underneath that sits a real business: 48% gross margins, debt-free, revenue growing fast, defense primes and NASA on the customer wall. And stacked on top, for free, genuine optionality in quantum and in space. The kind of upside you don't even pay for at this valuation. I won't insult you by pretending it's risk-free. It isn't. There's customer concentration, there's dilution, there's execution risk. I've said all of it openly. A company is never a sure thing. But "is it too late" was never the question that matters. The question that matters is this: do you understand this company well enough to hold it through the noise, the FUD, the red days, and the people screaming that you're late? Because that conviction is the only thing that decides whether you actually capture the story or get shaken out halfway. So here's my honest answer, the one I can stand behind: It's late if you don't trust the company. It's early if you do. And the only person who can answer which one you are is you. Do the work. Read the filings. Build your own conviction, or don't. But don't outsource it to a chart, and don't outsource it to me. I just know which side I'm on. And I haven't sold a share. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

  @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).

  @jodyvance @guyfelicella @TELUS My mom had it for three years. Then her PVR died. The “new” one has been nothing but problems. She cancelled and went to Shaw, now Roger’s satellite. I’ve had it over 30 years in the interior. She’s much happier. Telus hands out junk and refurbished garbage. Good luck.

  O-RAN is the future, and AmpliTech Group $AMPG is well-positioned to become a massive winner in it. The market TAM of O-RAN was only $2.8 billion in 2024, but is expected to grow rapidly to $48 billion by 2035, implying a CAGR of almost 30% from 2024 to 2035. $AMPG's proprietary Massive MIMO 64T64R O-RAN radios and best of the industry LNAs are of importance for the O-RAN buildout. We already know from the Telus article that they will need 30,000 AmpliTech radios for their O-RAN buildout until 2029, which could generate a cumulative revenue of atleast $300 million for $AMPG until 2029 (excluding service, installation and maintenance fees that AmpliTech can charge). CEO Maqbool stated in the last earnings call that new purchase orders will be announced in the next couple of months from multiple major MNOs. Traditional RAN is fading and O-RAN is gaining momentum. $AMPG is ready for the structural change.

  Temple 8 Research (@Temple_Eight) reported 19 minutes ago

  @ChairmansLedger Let's expand the argument then. Starting with what ASTS gets right. While ASTS has a small lead on broadband connectivity their real advantage is spectrum access via carrier exclusivity and they've locked up nearly 60 mobile network operator partners covering over 3 billion subscribers AT&T, Verizon, Vodafone, Rakuten, Telus, Bell, etc. SpaceX operates more than 9,000 satellites around 60% of everything in orbit. ASTS has roughly 9 including recent launches, and is trying to accelerate to about one launch a month to hit 2026 targets. Analysts are skeptical it can sustain this. Each BlueBird Block 2 is a 6,100 kg spacecraft, far more complex and expensive per unit than a Starlink satellite and AST can't launch anything close to the pace of Musk. SpaceX owns the rockets while ASTS has to buy rides on Falcon 9, New Glenn, etc. SpaceX's hardware iteration speed is, as one analysis put it, a real and durable advantage, and if their next gen satellites deliver on data performance, the competitive gap narrows while the scaling gap stays insurmountable. SpaceX already took the biggest carrier prize in the US being T-Mobile. So the carrier moat cuts both ways. SpaceX obviously has access to vast capital after IPO, with Starlink generating ~$10.4 billion of revenue in 2025. ASTS is pre-real-revenue at scale ($70.9 million in 2025) and funding itself with convertible debt and dilution. Do you really want to hold through heavy short to medium term dilution over years??

  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. 📡
