  Been waiting since early June for new @TELUS equipment; have spoken to @TELUSsupport THREE times. Was ASSURED in the last conversation that it would arrive July 1-7…and here we are on July 8. Good business plan…pay for service you do not receive.

  @BenSteiner00 People smarter than me must be able to watch this sort of passion and be able to leverage this in regards to the Whitecaps You cannot tell me that the top 10 biggest companies in Vancouver (Telus/Lulu/Hootsuite) can’t figure out how to brand their **** and support our club

  TELUS Digital ran 90,000 simulations training contact center agents with ElevenLabs voice AI. Result: 20% faster onboarding. Early signs of lower turnover. Then they deployed an ElevenAgents voice agent to proactively call newly activated internet customers in their first 90 days. Outcome: customers who got the proactive call were less than half as likely to cancel within 30 days. Let me translate that into a number most contact center leaders will recognize. If you're running a telco with 100,000 new activations per quarter and a 15% 30-day churn rate — that's 15,000 customers churning before they even form a habit. Cut that rate in half with a proactive voice AI call and you're retaining 7,500 additional customers per quarter. At $50/month average revenue per customer over a 24-month average lifecycle, that's $9M in preserved revenue per quarter from a single proactive AI workflow. This is the number that shifts the conversation from "AI pilot" to "AI mandate." Three things are worth noting about the TELUS/ElevenLabs model: **1. They kept humans in the loop for complexity.** ElevenAgents handle high-volume routine calls and route complex or sensitive issues to human agents — who receive better-qualified interactions. The human workload improves in quality, not just quantity. **2. The agent training use case is often bigger than the customer-facing use case.** 90,000 simulations means new hires have practiced situations they might not encounter in their first 6 months of calls. That preparation is invisible on a dashboard but shows up in first-call resolution and escalation rates. **3. TELUS Digital is now a preferred implementation partner, not just a customer.** That's a distribution signal. Enterprise contact center operators trust vendors who can show they've operationalized the technology themselves. At Ender Turing we track enterprise CX deployments closely. The pattern from the last 12 months is clear: the organizations getting results aren't running bigger pilots. They're moving production workloads incrementally — starting with high-volume, low-variance use cases like proactive onboarding calls — and building from that baseline. 90,000 training simulations. 50% churn reduction. These aren't beta numbers. They're the new competitive baseline. If your team is still in the "exploring voice AI" phase, that baseline just moved.

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport I’ve been a customer for a whopping 3 months and already hate it. Haven’t had internet in 5 days. Can’t reach a human, chat bot is 💩 and no one has called me back after getting messages of ‘you will get a callback within 15 minutes’

  @chooseyourwow Roger's internet is like a rocket ship compared to Telus. Their TV smart remote is the best thing ever. Skipping through commercials by saying 1:30 or 4 minutes (Jays game or a movie). I had an issue with one remote. 5 minutes chatting online and then mailed a new one.

  @Trevor_Neufeld What are people going to switch to? Telus or something else? I need ideas as I am with Rogers and it’s time to switch. I pay for a product and listen to fan 960 and this move has consequences. I have been a Shaw, now Rogers customer for 23 years and I am finally going to switch.
