  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?

  @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.

  @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

  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.

  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.

  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!

  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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @MeaghieC Pharmacists can do emergency refills in BC. Hopefully you will have some luck with Telus or another telehealth provider. Or show up at an urgent care clinic. Not sure where you live, but the one in Chemainus BC is really good.

  @SonyaPaterson Oh geez Sonya, sounds like you've been thru the ringer! We've also had issues with Rogers/Shaw so we moved over to Telus for our cable & internet.

  @zulutruckeryyc Apologies, and that's definitely not the experience you should be having with your TELUS PureFibre service. To clarify, your internet services are no longer working?

  @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

  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.

  @MPelletierCIO 9$ target, at that point depending on what telus is doing, its an acceptable buy if they havent removed most of their old management, then its not a buy yet as they will continue to allocate capital incorrectly. It's hard to allocate capital correctly if you believe you dont need to understand how the technology works that you're managing and building. Bad Culture. Truth hurts. Telus is a dud until they clear the house

  @OILanatude @Rogers @telusmobility Yessssss! Mysteriously my Roger’s bill jumped $5 a few months ago and has stayed there for that time. Telus used to do this too. It’s so shady and more people need to call them out on it. It never happened with Shaw. 👀

  @steeletalk 1/2 That doesn't sound like us and could be scam/phishing calls pretending to be TELUS. Check out our Call control feature that can help prevent many of these types of calls.

  @bcbluecon Even in Central Coquitlam at my business , y over y we pay more and y over year @telus service gets worse. Multiple dropped calls per week. Dead zones. Ridiculous given what we Canadians pay. Time of emergency I can’t imagine how bad it must be.

  @araghougassian Too bad Freedom is not available in Montreal (at least they don't ship sim cards there) I had 60 gigs for 25 bucks with Telus, but they slapped an extra 5$ on and thought they would get away with it. I lowered it to 1gb with 25gb addon + data rollover and am at 52gb currently lol
