  West Coast Coco Mermaid 🧜🏾‍♀️ (@sherryella77) reported 55 seconds ago 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.

  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?

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

  @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

  @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.

  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.

  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.

  @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.

  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!

  @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.

  This is the part that should make shorts nervous. Instead of covering today, shorts actually added another few percent to their position on $AMPG. They're doubling down, not getting out. And here's the kicker: the cost to borrow just jumped from ~35% to ~70%. ✅ 48% gross margins (up from 33%) ✅ Debt-free, ~$18M+ cash ✅ ~$200M market cap (sub-$1B) ✅ Revenue grew 165% last year ✅ FY2026 guidance of $50M+ ✅ Only American 64T64R AI-RAN radio ✅ Deployed at Telus (Tier-1 carrier) ✅ Strategic Partner in DoD-funded Open6G hub (next to NVIDIA, Dell, Qualcomm) ✅ NASA, NVIDIA, Amazon, IBM, Boeing, Lockheed, Northrop, L3Harris as customers ✅ Cryogenic LNAs for quantum (IBM, Google PoC) ✅ Space/SATCOM exposure as the sector re-rates ✅ Founder-led, CEO hasn't sold a share ✅ Short float ~35%, borrow fee spiking Let me explain why that matters. The short fee is what it costs to borrow shares to short. It spikes when demand to short outstrips the shares available to lend. A jump from 35% to 70% tells you the borrowable pool is drying up, fewer and fewer shares left to short, and brokers charging a fortune for the ones that remain. So now the shorts are in a worse spot on two fronts. They're bleeding ~70% annualized just to hold the position open, and there's less room left to add. That's a setup that pressures them to cover, not relax. Adding into that, at that cost, while fundamentals improve? That's a tough hand to keep playing. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

  @CanadasLeafs @LeafsPassion85 Bell & Rogers are my only 2 real choices where I'm at. I hate both of them. If I had the option to get Telus, I'd never, ever get Rogers or Bell again. I'd even take Cogeco over both of them. But, I really want Telus to come to Atlantic Canada.

  @DVLT146025 This is exactly it, and it's the most underrated skill in this whole game. A manipulated pump and a real multibagger look identical on the chart. Same vertical candles, same volume spike, same "it already ran too much" comments. The chart literally cannot tell you which one you're holding. The only thing that separates them is what's underneath. A pump has a story and nothing behind it. A multibagger has a chart that's finally catching up to a business that was already real. And that's the work most people skip. They argue about the candle instead of reading the filings. With $AMPG, the difference shows up the moment you actually dig in. 48% gross margins, up from 33%. Debt-free. Revenue growing triple digits. The only American 64T64R AI-RAN radio, deployed at Telus, a Strategic Partner in a DoD-funded hub. Defense primes and NASA as customers. A CEO guiding margins higher because the heavy investment is behind them. None of that is chart noise. That's a company. A manipulated stock can't survive due diligence. It falls apart the second you look closely. AMPG gets stronger the closer you look. That's the whole tell. The people scared off by "it already moved" never opened the hood. The ones who did know exactly which category this is. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡

  @bcbluecon Telus sucks as well. They all start you at a reduced rate and then keep jacking it up. Try Starlink if you can.

  @TELUS I don't know who's running things at telus, but they really don't like putting an offer on the table for their customers. Basic customer service is seriously lacking. 🙄

  @OnlyKlans1 @napoleon21st Yes, I talk about the negatives as well. But you have to keep in mind that I deliberately kept it simple and easy to understand, rather than making it long and boring. There are plenty of people who have written much longer theses. The biggest risk was that, as you'll see on Reddit and other places, AmpliTech's customer was believed to be a "declining" company linked to EchoStar. The names are hidden behind "tier 1 MNO...", but the VP of Telus named Amplitech in a random article that nobody saw. After the CSI work, we've realized it's actually Telus, which is using AmpliTech alongside Samsung and is still in the middle of its rollout. Only about 15% has been completed so far, with the remaining 85% still to go, and they intend to keep using AmpliTech going forward.

  @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'

  @JonFraserTF @TELUS They are all like this. But Telus is absolutely the worst - Rogers - previously Shaw is getting very very close though
