  Jody Klassen (@bellasugarsega) reported 9 seconds 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.

  @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.

  @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.

  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?

  Brent Smithurst (@brentsmi) reported 41 minutes ago from Colwood, British Columbia

  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!

  H. Neal Cropper (@RealNealDeal) reported 43 minutes ago from Metchosin, British Columbia

  @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.

  Jenn Tranmer (@vicmomdoc) reported 48 minutes ago from Langford, British Columbia

  @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.

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

  R. Weyland (@WeylandR) reported 11 minutes ago

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport Hey Telus. You guys are now worse than an airline. Your product (internet in this case) is less reliable than checked bags and now you wait longer on hold to resolve issue. And likely an average of 4 phone calls and 2 technician visits to solve the problem.

  @garymasonglobe @TELUS Telus doesn't want your busiess. I use @heybabbl - local, way cheaper, no contracts, service without call centers

  Ehrmantraut Capital (@EhrmantrautCap_) reported 13 minutes ago

  @Palmersfortune The fundamentals on the company are strong. This is not merely hype, but a rally sustained by strong fundamentals and real catalysts (such as $NVDA diclosed as a customer & the Telus article that resurfaced).

  ThePodDog (@PadDawg) reported 13 minutes ago

  Hey People don't ever get a 3rd party like Telus to have control over thinks like your heating and air conditioning. I put in for a cancation of service for the end of the month and I thought it was on good terms. Wrong. They shut everything down 2 hours later. No warning

  🚨 #BREAKING: $ASTS Successfully Launched BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10, Completing Its First Multi-Satellite Launch Since April's Setback. What happened: ➜ AST SpaceMobile confirmed the successful launch of BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 at 2:39 a.m. EDT on June 17, 2026. ➜ The satellites were launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station. ➜ This marks the company's first successful stacked multi-satellite launch since April's mission setback. ➜ Each BlueBird satellite carries a phased array antenna measuring approximately 2,400 square feet, which AST SpaceMobile says is the largest commercial communications array ever deployed in low Earth orbit. ➜ The satellites are designed to connect directly to standard, unmodified smartphones without requiring any special hardware. ➜ AST SpaceMobile says the new satellites are capable of delivering peak download speeds of nearly 200 Mbps for voice, broadband data, and video services. ➜ That is nearly double the company's previously demonstrated peak speed of 98.9 Mbps achieved by its earlier Block 1 satellites. What comes next: ➜ CEO Abel Avellan said BlueBirds 11, 12, and 13 will ship shortly ahead of the company's next launch. ➜ He also said next-generation satellites through BlueBird 37 are already in active production and assembly. ➜ Avellan said, "This first stacked launch is just the beginning. Our focus is firmly on execution: scaling launch cadence, manufacturing, and preparing for commercial service." ➜ Speaking about the mission, he added: "BlueBirds 8, 9, and 10 represent the continued execution of a vision once considered impossible: space-based cellular broadband to everyone, everywhere." The scale behind the company: ➜ AST SpaceMobile says it now operates more than 500,000 square feet of manufacturing and operations facilities worldwide. ➜ The company says it employs more than 2,250 people and has a portfolio of more than 3,900 patents and pending patent claims. ➜ AST SpaceMobile also says it has agreements with nearly 60 mobile network operators representing more than 3 billion subscribers worldwide. ➜ Its strategic partners include $T, $VZ, Vodafone, Rakuten, Google, Bell, Telus, stc Group, and American Tower. ➜ The company plans to initially activate commercial service in the United States, Canada, Europe, Saudi Arabia, and Japan, while also supporting U.S. government programs.

  @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'

  AmpliTech Group $AMPG and an overview of its customers: Telus $T.TO - 5G/O-RAN. AmpliTech has already secured a multi-year LOI from Telus and purchase orders. Telus furthermore needs 30,000 AmpliTech radios for its O-RAN buildout until 2029. With each unit costing atleast $10,000, you're looking at a minimum $300 million cumulative revenue until 2029, excluding service/maintenance/installation fees that AmpliTech can charge to Telus. $NVDA, Northeastern University - AI-RAN. Both $NVDA and $AMPG are part of the Open6G project at Northeastern University (supported by the US government), and it is likely that $NVDA is interested in $AMPG's proprietary O-RAN CAT B 64T64R Massive MIMO radio unit, which sends out signals based on NVIDIA AI Aerial's AI-driven calculations (running on Blackwell or Grace Hopper GPUs). $IBM, $AMZN - cryogenic LNAs for quantum. Quantum computers store info in qubits at a temperature of 4 Kelvin (-269 degrees Celsius), these give off very weak signals that need to be amplified without creating any noise. AmpliTech has cryogenic LNAs that can withstand these temperatures. $BA, $NOC, $LMT, US Air Force - LNAs for defense for the purpose of communications, radar and electronic warfare. AmpliTech has military-grade LNAs, that have passed years of qualifications and are fully produced in the US, an important requirement. NASA, $VSAT, $WBD, Paramount - SATCOM/satellite communications equipment. AmpliTech sells LNAs that allow LEO satellites and ground stations to pick up very weak signals and translate them into useful data. They also sell PAs (Power Amplifiers) that allow LEO sats to send signals across large distances. Rarely do you see a microcap with such an impressive list of customers. Below, a complete overview of AmpliTech's customers can be seen, which includes more than just the ones I mentioned above (picture is from @rk8215).

  @JonFraserTF @TELUS I switched to @FreedomMobile for home and mobile last year. Cut my bill in half and don't pay roaming fees. The service has been the same as Rogers I had before. Highly recommend

  This is the most important framing of $AMPG I've seen, and it's the distinction almost everyone misses. And, obviously, comes from a guy called "calm". Let me build on it, because once you see the full picture, it's hard to unsee. Everyone wants to call today a short squeeze. But the point here is sharper: a squeeze fades, a re-rating doesn't. If today was purely shorts covering, it's mechanical. They buy back, the pressure releases, and it bleeds out over the next few days. Nothing fundamental changed. But if today was the market starting to recognize the actual business, that's a completely different animal. That's a beginning, not a ******. And the reason I lean toward the second is simple: look at what the shorts are actually betting against. For months their thesis was that AMPG wouldn't execute, that revenue wouldn't show up, that it keeps drifting lower. The problem is the opposite kept happening, and the last earnings call made that impossible to ignore. Let me walk through it. Start with the core. AMPG is the only American company commercializing the 64T64R Massive MIMO AI-RAN radio, the physical layer open AI-RAN runs on. Already deployed at Telus, a Tier-1 carrier. Right beside Samsung. 2 out of 5 radios from TELUS. 48% gross margins, up from 33%. Debt-free. That alone breaks the "won't execute" thesis. Then the call got louder. COO Jorge Flores on Telus (detective): "We continue to receive orders against that LOI as well". And on the quarter: "We are projecting Q2 to be definitely much higher than Q1." Q1 was already $5.35M, up 48.6%. So the ramp the bears said wouldn't materialize is not only materializing, it's accelerating. Then CEO Fawad Maqbool dropped the part nobody's pricing. On new carriers: "We've had very productive discussions with major MNOs, and it's more likely they'll go straight to POs, no LOIs. We'll be announcing those in the next quarter or so." . Major operators, plural, potentially skipping the letter-of-intent stage and going straight to firm purchase orders. That's a stronger commitment than how Telus even started. And then he pointed abroad: "Our success being the largest O-RAN deployment in America is helping us reach further into Europe and other areas of the world.". That's not empty talk. AMPG already signed a 5-year supplier agreement with Fujitsu Spain covering Europe, Africa and the Middle East. The international runway is already open. Also, working closely with UK funded hub, being the only american one there. Now stack the optionality on top, the parts you don't even pay for at this valuation. Quantum: AMPG makes the cryogenic amplifiers that superconducting quantum computers need for qubit readout, and has shipped proof-of-concept units to names like IBM and Google. Honest framing: optionality, not revenue yet, and it serves the superconducting branch specifically. But it's real, patented, and American. Space: back in December 2024, AMPG shipped prototype amplifiers to an unnamed "Fortune 50 satellite systems provider" building a LEO constellation, tens of thousands of units expected. The only Fortune 50 building its own LEO network is Amazon, with Project Kuiper. Then Amazon showed up on AMPG's customer wall. Honest framing again: the wall confirms Amazon is a customer, not specifically that it's the LEO buyer, that link is my deduction. But the breadcrumbs stack cleanly, and with SpaceX now public, the entire space sector just got validated. So put it all together. This isn't a meme pump. It's a company that has spent months stacking catalysts: a flagship carrier deployment, accelerating revenue, expanding margins, new carriers near firm POs, a European channel opening, and free optionality in quantum and space. With customers like: 🔹 NVIDIA 🔹 Amazon 🔹 IBM 🔹 Boeing 🔹 Lockheed Martin 🔹 Northrop Grumman 🔹 L3Harris 🔹 NASA Eventually the market stops ignoring that. That's why the shorts are in real trouble. They're not fighting momentum anymore. They're short against improving fundamentals on multiple fronts at once, and time now works against them. Every quarter of execution makes their thesis weaker, not stronger. Honest caveat: a re-rating isn't guaranteed, and one green day doesn't confirm it. The CEO's PO and Europe comments are forward-looking, his words, not signed deals yet, so watch for the actual PRs. The real test is whether this holds and builds, or fades like a pure cover. But the framing is right. A squeeze is a moment. A re-rating is a trend. Shorts betting against a falling story is one trade. Shorts betting against a company that's actually getting better, across telecom, defense, space and quantum, is a completely different and far more dangerous one. I think we might be watching the second one begin. Still sub $1B. Not financial advice. I'm long $AMPG. DYOR. 📡
