  @TELUS @TELUSsupport is your service down in all of SE Alberta? Hard to run a business & live rural when there’s no cell service

  I have a landline! A couple days ago our power supplier had a planned outage. Coincidentally, our landline stopped having a dial tone. I called TELUS. Got a callback to help get the landline working again. I’m in Alberta 🇨🇦. The TELUS dude helping me is in Manila, Philippines.

  @telussupport Once again you finance department is full of **** and lied basically to my face over the phone. Canceling all my products with @telus was once of the best moves I have ever made financially. Go **** yourselves.

  So i paid my telus bill just now by phone. When the computer asked “Is there anything else I can do for you today?” I said you could rub my feet. “I understand you want to look into upgrading your service plan.” WTAF? If you don’t understand my answer, say so. Don’t freak me out.

  @TELUS after multiple calls and follow up, my current bill is again higher. This is happening again.added fees for the services which has been cancelled. Not sure why i am not getting a permanent solution for this? Very bad customer service for sure.

  @TyDaneGonzalez Yeah same. I thankfully realized earlier today so I was able to get my buddy’s Telus login. So stupid though.

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS Loyal for 15 years. Tried calling 611 with no luck, but finally got a callback after 3 days—agent had a child crying nearby, then she hung up and never called back. This is not acceptable. Escalate to a manager or retention team, or I will consider switching

  @Bell_MTSHelps The Northern lights Satellite Fight Rogers played it like a chess grandmaster while Bell, MTS, and Telus fumbled around like they were playing checkers with winter mittens on. In a country as vast and rugged as Canada, where huge swaths of land have zero cell coverage, satellite-to-mobile tech is the future for keeping people connected in the bush, on the water, or up north. Rogers saw the obvious winner and jumped in early with Starlink— Elon Musk’s low-Earth orbit beast with thousands of satellites already zipping overhead. They launched Rogers Satellite in 2025, starting with reliable texting, text-to-911, and emergency alerts on regular smartphones, then rapidly added support for popular apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, AllTrails, and Messenger. By early 2026, they expanded it coast-to-coast (covering millions more square kilometres), tossed in free trials in places like Atlantic Canada, and just days ago rolled out seamless roaming into the US via T-Mobile’s Starlink-powered setup. No special hardware, no waiting years—real connectivity, right now, with proven performance and clear momentum toward full voice/data. Smart, decisive, and customer-first. Rogers basically turned every phone into a satellite phone where towers fear to tread. Meanwhile, Bell (and its MTS arm) and Telus decided to bet big on AST SpaceMobile, a scrappy Texas startup still scrambling to get its own satellite constellation properly off the ground lol. Bell hyped a “first” demo voice call back in 2025 and promised a 2026 launch, while Telus signed on in March 2026 with some equity investment and ground infrastructure talk. Their pitch? Future broadband, voice, and data… eventually. Late 2026 at the earliest for any real rollout, with a lot of “we’re building it” vibes and fewer actual customers using it today. The contrast is brutal and hilarious. Rogers is out here actually delivering satellite connectivity today—texts, apps, cross-border roaming—while Bell, MTS, and Telus are still waving around press releases about satellites that mostly exist as PowerPoint slides and optimistic timelines. Canadians stuck in dead zones don’t want “coming soon” promises; they want a signal when their truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Rogers chose the proven, massive, rapidly scaling Starlink network that’s already lighting up phones across the planet. Bell and Telus? They went with the long-shot alternative that’s playing catch-up. In the race to blanket Canada with space-based mobile service, one carrier sprinted ahead with the rocket ship… and the others are still warming up the backup prop plane. Right now, the industry is laughing: “Bell and Telus picked what?” While Rogers customers are sending “I’m alive” texts from the tundra, their rivals are busy explaining why their fancy future service isn’t quite ready yet. Classic Big Telecom brain fart—overthinking it, missing the obvious winner, and handing Rogers a massive marketing and coverage edge on a silver platter. Oof. That’s gotta sting. - Grok & Ai

  @jillschnarr Do you feel good about a company that bullies customers to purchase new home security systems by issuing a threat to refuse to monitor the customer's existing system? I received a registered letter today from Telus doing just that. Sounds like I should be talking to the CRTC!

  @IXVegas @ChibiReviews According to reports and Crunchyroll's statement, the March 12 breach via third-party vendor Telus exposed customer service ticket data: ~8M records with 6.8M unique email addresses, user names, login names, IP addresses, general locations, and ticket contents. Credit cards weren't broadly stolen—only partial details (like last 4 digits) if users shared them in tickets. No passwords or full payment databases confirmed exposed. Investigation ongoing; no ongoing access found.
