  Winnipegers have had enough. For years, major telecom providers like Bell MTS and Telus (along with others in the big telecom club) have dominated the market in Manitoba with high prices, unreliable service, frequent outages, and frustrating customer support that often leaves people on hold for hours or bouncing between agents. Customers routinely report surprise bill increases, slow or inconsistent speeds, poor coverage in parts of the city and surrounding areas, and endless hassles when trying to fix simple issues. Many feel taken advantage of—paying premium rates for subpar, sometimes insecure connections that struggle during peak times or bad weather. Complaints have piled up nationally, with the big providers frequently topping lists for billing disputes, contract problems, and overall poor service. It's a classic case of limited competition leading to complacency: pay up or put up with it. But relief is on the horizon. Starlink is stepping in as a game-changing alternative, delivering high-speed satellite internet that works almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky. No more relying on aging cables or spotty towers—users in and around Winnipeg and rural Manitoba are reporting faster, more consistent speeds (often 100+ Mbps down), lower latency for streaming and gaming, and far better reliability than traditional options in areas where wired service has lagged. Setup is straightforward with self-install hardware, there's no long-term contract lock-in for many plans, and it's proving especially valuable for those fed up with the old guard. While pricing isn't the absolute cheapest in dense urban spots with fibre available, it often undercuts or matches what people were paying for inferior service—and the freedom from constant headaches makes it feel like a bargain. The message from frustrated Winnipegers is clear: the days of being held hostage by shoddy, overpriced telecom are numbered. Plastering their names on the local hockey teams heads as a mark of ownership will fool none. Starlink is here to give people real choice and better connectivity. Time to point that dish skyward and leave the old frustrations behind. -Grok & Ai

  @jodyvance @TELUS 1-888-811-2323. Telus is awful, but I get best results by calling. And check your bill, too. Because that's often wrong.

  @Pirat_Nation In March 2026, Crunchyroll confirmed a major data breach involving approximately 6.8 million users following a cyberattack on a third-party support provider, Telus Digital. The breach occurred when hackers used malware to hijack a support agent's Okta single sign-on account, giving them 24 hours of access to Crunchyroll’s internal systems, including Zendesk, Slack, and Google Workspace. Stolen data primarily consists of customer support ticket records, which include full names, usernames, email addresses, IP addresses, and general geographic locations. In April 2026, cybercriminals offered 2 million of these customer records for sale on a specialized forum, with a single buyer reportedly purchasing a bulk set of 1.2 million records. Security researchers have verified that 1.2 million unique email addresses from this sale are now appearing in data leak databases like Have I Been Pwned. The hackers reportedly demanded a $5 million ransom from Crunchyroll to prevent the release of 100GB of exfiltrated data, though the company has not officially confirmed paying it. Crunchyroll is currently facing class-action lawsuits alleging that the company failed to implement adequate security measures and was not transparent enough with users during the initial discovery. While Crunchyroll maintains that its core user database and full financial systems were not directly breached, the exposure of support ticket history means some users' partial payment info or private messages may be at risk.

  @janmedo49 Pierre has no real world experience. None. The only real job he’s had was as a telephone customer service rep for Telus. That’s it! 😳 He’s not qualified to run Canada. Period.
