  @EComm911_info congrats on your new Dispatch centre here in Victoria, however tried calling to report an incident and it was like calling Telus and was on hold for nearly 10min as it said call takers were busy. As such, missed the ability to report as parties left scene #yyj

  @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.

  @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.

  All 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!

  @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.

  @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.

  Oh @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.

  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

  @BridgieCasey @TELUS Block them. They are a horrible money loving, aggressive company w **** customer service.

  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?

  Jody Klassen (@bellasugarsega) reported 52 minutes ago from Langford, British Columbia

  I 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.

  theredlion (@thered_lataleph) reported 5 minutes ago

  @TELUS Don't get involved with this company. They are the worst for customer service. They have apps that don't work and if you ask for a paper bill you get zero information on it. Then you try to leave them and they harass you and charge you hundreds of dollars. Think illegal

  Input distribution in the United States is shifting. Last week it was announced that beginning with the 2027 season, Simplot Grower Solutions will no longer distribute or sell Bayer-branded crop protection or seed. And, starting in 2028, WinField United would not be selling Dekalb, Asgrow, and Deltapine seed brands, though it retains Bayer crop protection. Simplot's Innvictis brand retains licensing access to Bayer genetics, and WinField's Croplan and Armor brands keep Bayer traits. A shift was bound to happen and I doubt it's the last announcement we will see. Bayer signaled a change in its May 2025 strategy update, emphasizing new GTM motions with the US called out specifically as a region where shifts would happen. Bayer has forecast a mid-twenties EBITDA margin in Crop Science by 2029, from roughly 20% today, and while new and novel products are one avenue to improve margin, the other requirement is managing costs and working capital on the other end. I wrote a year ago that distributors and retailers should be ready for changes in product access, rebate dollars, and more high-touch demand generation from Bayer. If I'm a retailer, distributor, or manufacturer, there are several different questions that need to be asked and strategic focus needs to be top of mind. I broke it all down in more detail in this week's Upstream Ag Professional, alongside: - The Law of Conservation of Attractive Profits in crop protection - Q2 2026 results across Bayer, Nutrien, The Mosaic Company, UPL, TELUS Agriculture & Consumer Goods, and CNH - Influence Erosion in Ag Retail - Ambrook Raise - Salience Bias and how it needs to be considered in the context of sensor technology - InnerPlant Data Traits and Increasing Returns + much more How do you think the future of crop input distribution will shift in the next 5 years?

  @DouglasTodd @TELUS I would argue that the immigration drove down prices. 10 years ago, I was paying 70 dollars for 1 line with a few GB of data. Today, I have two lines and 150 GB of shared data for 70 dollars.

  @Rogers You got greedy and claiming GM Place but that wasnt enough you have to overtake Shaw. But what you didnt do was increase your staff to match your accounts accumulation...to the point where, I heard "Sorry, we are too busy to take your call, goodbye" Over and over and over for more than a month. Pssst It's Business 101 to NEVER EVER let that happen. Oh and Ive switched to Telus. Am I one lost customer, or 1 of many? 🤔

  My two biggest fears about $AMPG were the biggest MNO and the margins. That's why I lowered my exposure and positioned myself publicly for $DGXX's earnings. Yet, at these prices, AMPG is very attractive. I think this is an overreaction. It reminds me of $FLNC. Yesterday's report confirmed the "problem" with the Asian program. Last call, they said: "timing delays due to customer deployment schedules and overseas supply chain factors". Yesterday's Titan Crest filing says: "substantial delays in developing its products". That's where I suspected the $70M+ program was going to be in trouble, discussed it with my friends, and shared my insights about it. Today's call: "We do not have any cancellations of orders, or we do not have any changes in the LOIs. The forecast timing has changed". "Particularly within one of our international 5G programs. So this shift is affecting the timing on the follow-on purchase orders associated with that deployment overseas". It's a timing issue. Nobody cancelled. My conclusion is that those problems will eventually get solved, but that OREX's LOI was delayed (the biggest MNO) because Titan Crest. Who knows how long it takes. Thesis didn't change. That's exactly why they pulled guidance: because they can't date the fix. Painful, but honest. The $40M (North American MNO) program is Telus. No problems there. In fact, they've been ordering MORE than the LOI. On margins, last call they told us: "We do not expect margin improvement to be perfectly linear quarter to quarter, especially during a ramp-up phase, but improving gross margin remains one of our key operating priorities". So I understand margins will eventually climb (especially with the 64T64R and everything AI-RAN). My fear was how the market would take a margin reduction when it printed. It printed. The market did what I feared. Both things will get solved and it will stabilize. Same thing happened with Fluence. I bought at $12.60. Euphoria traders ran it to $15. That's what happened with AMPG lately. Lots of euphoria. Lots of likes. Lots of tourists. Then FLNC dropped from $15 to $10 in premarket. Everyone who read "margin cut" hit sell. Market opened. It went back to $15. Now it sits around $13, more or less stabilized. I think something similar just happened to AMPG. All that attention, all those posts with hundreds of likes... that's tourist capital. The tourists saw the margin compression and overreacted. Was it a bad earnings report? Definitely. So was Fluence's. Was it THAT bad? No. Eventually it recovers and stabilizes. And the game, same as Fluence, is watching whether the next reports recover margins and put a date on the product problem. The thesis is the same. The clock is longer. Not financial advice. Still long $AMPG. Long $DGXX. DYOR.

  @TELUSsupport He said no idea. Probably it is the cable which I use it to connect device and Model. I know he is wrong because I always use cable with no such issue before. Telus does not follow up.

  @Bell You have proved time and again that you don't actually care. The DM's go nowhere, solve nothing, and never escalate things to where they need to be. Pretending to ride in on white horse going "WELL ACTUALLY!" doesn't help. I gave up using Bell in favor of the slightly less horrid Telus, and at least I can get service when I call them. Hell, even that reply sounds like it was AI written. I have zero faith in your company left, and at 41 I hold a long grudge. It would take something significant to change my mind, after the hell you caused me.

  @RogersHelps It was door to door sales and I ended up switching my; cell service (2 numbers), internet and TV service to Rogers based on the salespersons GUARANTEE that Rogers would pay the penalty to leave TELUS. I explicitly with emphasis told him I had JUST renewed with TELUS and there
