  Brent Smithurst (@brentsmi) reported 4 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!

  @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.

  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.

  @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

  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

  @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.

  @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.

  Jody Klassen (@bellasugarsega) reported 48 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.

  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.

  @kristelxo @TELUSsupport Good luck with Telus! I had my internet account paid and service terminated back in Apr and they sent a bill to collections that took me several calls to prove that I owed them nothing 🙄🤬

  @not_sforys92 I do feel like we're being gaslit about services getting better, definitely feels worse. Up at the cottage on Telus or Rogers we used to get by, now it's the worst it's ever been. New cell tower should be active at the end of the month supposedly. We got starlink now tho

  @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.

  Pierre Poilievre can't get his security clearance! (@IAMSMRT1) reported 14 minutes ago

  @wealthmoose I'd do this in crayon if that would help. This is called a business deal. Google it, it happens all the time. ie: Bell and Telus and Rogers each use the others network as it saves them $ so they don't have to build an entire network saving them $. You seem ignorant of business.

  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?

  $TU - TELUS CUT ITS DIVIDEND 55% AND RAISED CAPEX. THE FREE CASH FLOW GUIDE FELL A QUARTER. Every rung of the 2026 guide moved at once. Free cash flow to about $1.8 billion from about $2.45 billion; capital expenditures UP to about $2.6 billion from about $2.3 billion; consolidated service revenue growth to flat-to−2% from 2% to 4%; adjusted EBITDA growth to −2% to −4% from 2% to 4%. The quarterly dividend was reset 55% to $0.1875 a share, an annualized $0.75, which TELUS says frees roughly $2.7 billion of cash through 2028 for debt reduction. The payout policy moved to 45–60% of trailing free cash flow from 60–75%, and the discount on the dividend reinvestment plan is gone from October 1 — the company says that reduces shareholder dilution. The leverage target itself never moved. The deadline did: about 3.0 times net debt to adjusted EBITDA by year-end 2028 rather than 2027, from 3.5 times at quarter-end, citing "competitive pricing pressure and reduced subscriber demand amid lower population growth." Mobile phone net additions were 17,000. A carrier that grew by connecting a growing country is repricing for one that isn't. The dividend is what pays for the extra year. Shares fell about 12%.

  @TELUSsupport thank you Telus for zero help on my technical issues. Almost 3 hours in hold. Talked to rep. He took my number in case of disconnection. Lost call no call back. I hate Telus. Looking for alternative. Internet, phone, tv. Telus hates customers.
