  @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.

  @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

  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?

  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.

  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

  @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.

  @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.

  @TELUSsupport Why is it so impossible to contact telus? Every time I try report errors in my billing I just get sent to numerous pages to sign in with no help

  @Ayan604 @TELUS @TELUSsupport As if a carrier will call its clients to offer them a better deal! They love that you are stuck in an older plan paying more - and hope you never call in asking for a better rate that would be available to anyone who signs up today.

  it’s crazy that telus can charge me $135 to cancel my internet service when they do not offer the service at my new house. like that’s a YOU problem.

  Telus World of Science TWOS - So much water damage. Why? Sure. Lotsa rain. But the damage is excessive. Are the Engineers that designed the building boy responsible ?

  @Ayan604 That is completely unacceptable, and I am sorry you had that experience Andy. This sounds like a spammer or scammer spoofing our caller ID to pretend to be TELUS. Our team would never speak to anyone like that. To block fake calls like this for good, check out our TELUS Call Control feature.

  John Iosifov ✨💥 Ender Turing | AiCMO (@johniosifov) reported 14 minutes ago

  TELUS deployed a voice AI agent to call new home internet customers in their first 90 days. Not to resolve a problem. Not because the customer called in. Just to check in. Result: customers who got that AI welcome call were less than half as likely to cancel within 30 days. That's proactive retention — and it completely inverts how most contact center AI is deployed. The standard mental model: AI handles inbound. Saves cost. Deflects calls. Reduces headcount. TELUS ran the opposite play. Outbound. Proactive. AI-initiated. And the economics are brutal in a good way. Every churn prevented is worth months of subscription revenue. Voice AI at scale means you can make that call to every single new customer — not the top 10% who triggered a risk score. Gartner projects $80 billion in contact center labor costs cut by AI this year. 88% of contact centers now run some form of AI. But 75% haven't operationalized it. They have tools. They don't have outcomes. The difference between TELUS and the 75%: TELUS defined the outcome first (reduce 30-day churn), then designed the intervention (proactive welcome call), then measured it. Proactive > reactive. Always. In contact centers and everywhere else. This is what the call center AI conversation is missing. Everyone's chasing deflection rates. The real money is in the outbound plays nobody's running yet.

  Smart TVs also can be turned on remotely, including the Alexa microphone in your remote control. It can also hack your wifi network and all devices on it. China did it for years in the USA. My FireTV when connected to the computer was changing settings on my PC, when connected via an HDMI cable, BUT NOT TURNED ON. I could tell because my PC screen would change as if a new monitor was turned on and found out it was the TV doing it. So a TV not turned on was still interfacing with my computer without my permission. I also noticed my TV was doing updates despite the fact my TV was not connected to my wifi network. Instead it was doing the updates without my permission, using the 4K Telus digital box it was connected to.
