  It is shameful that during fire evacuations that the cell service providers cannot provide better service throughout the valley in the safe areas. From Enderby to Cherryville to Okanagan Falls, two bars is not sufficient let family know we are ok. Do better! @Telus @Bell @Rogers

  Building RSC Boundary, Hookie, and Streambench (native Mac app for Kafka/NATS/Redpanda). Spent the last few years shipping AI-powered dev tooling at TELUS: an incident workflow (500+ reports), an LLM eval framework on the Vercel AI SDK. Looking for a senior product engineer role in AI-native devtools. Remote, Canada. Open to scoped contract work too, audits, specific features, fixed fee. DMs open.

  @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.

  @Kuljeet123r @Rogers Telus is answer. Try it and you won’t regret. They have best Fiber internet and best customer service.

  @VeeVeeFreeFox It’s just like when I called Telus for support. I keep hanging up and recalling until I have somebody speaking English clear enough I can understand them.

  @RogersHelps @rogers: 15 hours with no internet, using my @telus phone as a hotspot. At 8 am, you said it'd take 4 hours to fix. Then 4-6 hours. Then the Rogers outage page kept extending the resolution time by an hour. Now an agent told me 24 hours. WTF? Unacceptable.

  @Clayton37808570 Regarding conviction of MNO’s this is too simplistic. You have multiple buckets: Early die hards > AT&T, Vodafone, Bell, Rakuten, TIM These MNO’s basically co-engineered the Spacemobile solution. STC was late, but commited 1 billion of revenue as Saudi sovereign solution so I think they also fall in this bucket. Late followers that evaluated both in detail with non public roadmap for Starlink and AST Spacemobile and chose AST > Verizon, Telus, Orange, Telefonica, Axian. Next you have a big bucket of optionality ****’s like you indicate, but that bucket is under heavy pressure to make a choice. Maximum optionality is a nice buzz word, but in reality they have to chose between an architecture that is competing with them, versus one that is supporting them. On paper a strong line up, but Starlink and Amazon will be competing systems. Equatys, Iridium niche constellations not optimized fot consumer broadband. So if you wat a friendly solution there is only one choice. Deutsche Telekom is the study case of my thesis.

  @TaraArmstrongBC The bean counters and Wildfire operations are married but sleep in different rooms. The ministry is actually one of the poorer agencies of the government and sort of like the US marines there is rarely all the equipment and personell one wants but generally people are gung ho and will always make do. There are some internal skirmishes and rivalries like contract vs ministry firefighters, or between crews but generally it's friendly and all in all BC has one of the most professional and world class wildfire suppression systems. I can say that because I've been doing it for 10 years and have worked with firefighters from a dozen countries and half the provinces and territories. When it comes to finances it's a different world. For example some idiot thought it would be a great idea for Telus (the phone company) to do the ministries payroll, a universally hated arrangement by crews. After all on a slow year there are a thousand firefighters sitting around on base or doing make work projects on the governments dime. Why bother with additional funding, it doesn't buy votes. On a hot year one does what can be done with resources available until a state of emergency is declared and then the money rolls in and the millions flow. Probably costing considerably more than if sufficient crews and equipment were allocated in the first place. I'm not in management but the solution is probably in training and maintaining an additional 1000 ministry firefighters, expansion of the Para program, a few additional air assets and properly funding the type 2 and type 3 contract resources instead of a chronic loss of professional firefighters leaving the profession because there is no work or incentive to stay on a slow year. On a forest management perspective perhaps allowing green belts (natural fire breaks) to grow instead of spraying glyphosate (dries out the forest) for profit, or hiring enough Rangers to police the logging companies to get them to actually stay in line and manage the forests the way they pretend they do. Current logging practice drops water tables. But that's a conversation nobody wants to have

  @miket136 Cool 😎 what a great idea. Our remote crews all use Stalink now. No more stupid expensive telus air cards.
