  Why won’t @TELUS step up to buy the club? They have the money and would be celebrated as community heroes for decades to come. International profile. Customer base explosion. They can write off losses in the down years. #VWFC #SaveTheCaps

  I am the Director of Voice Experience Innovation at Telus International. Six months ago, my team deployed a real-time accent harmonization layer across our Southeast Asian call centers. The agent speaks. The system listens. The customer hears Ohio. I keep a demo reel on my laptop. Before and after. The before sounds like a woman in Manila who went to university in Quezon City and has been resolving billing disputes for nine years. The after sounds like a woman who might be in a strip mall in Columbus. Same words. Same syntax. Same problem-solving. The only thing we change is the part that makes the customer hang up. The metrics are on slide eleven of my board deck. I'm looking at it right now: Customer satisfaction: up 23 percent. Average handle time: down 40 seconds. Escalation requests: down 31 percent. My VP asked what drove the improvement. I said, "Reduced communication friction." Which is technically true. The friction was that our customers don't like talking to people who sound foreign. We didn't fix that. We made it so they never have to know. The system processes voice in 11-millisecond intervals. It maps phonemic patterns to General American English midpoint targets. Internally we call these targets "anchor voices." The anchor voices were generated from 4,000 hours of NPR pledge drive recordings. We picked NPR specifically because listener studies show it's the accent American consumers trust most with their credit card number. (The agent hears themselves the whole time. Their own voice in their own headset. They just know that somewhere in those 11 milliseconds, a machine decides that what they actually sound like isn't something a customer in Phoenix will tolerate for the length of a billing inquiry.) Employee 7734 in our Manila hub asked to hear the output. We played it for her in a breakout room — the one with the motivational poster about "Bringing Your Whole Self to Work." She listened for six seconds. Pulled her headset down around her neck. Went quiet. Then she said, "Is that what they need me to be?" Her CSAT scores are in the 94th percentile. She clocks in every morning at 7:45. I should explain the economics because they're elegant: we hired agents in the Philippines at $4 an hour. We spent $11 million on a system that makes them sound like they cost $35 an hour. The delta is the product. We don't sell accent correction. We sell the gap between what a worker costs and what a customer requires them to sound like. The system doesn't work in reverse. If a customer with a heavy accent calls in, we don't smooth their voice for our agents. Harmonization flows one direction. Toward the customer. Away from the worker. Always uphill. Three agents requested transfers to text-based channels last quarter. They said they felt "disconnected from their own calls." My HR partner coded it as an engagement issue. Recommended a team outing. Bowling, I think. Every morning, 14,000 agents open their mouths and a machine makes a decision about what comes out the other end. They perform the labor. We perform the correction. The customer performs their preference. Nobody performs anything wrong.

  @KirkLubimov Been waiting for a reason to cancel my telus account and this is it.

  @Telus For the rest of my life, I will NEVER deal with you again. One and a half hours to cancel services and most of that was on hold. You make it extremely difficult to be able to speak to an actual human being and then I could barely understand the person I dealt with.

  A fibre cut has left Telus customers in several northern B.C. communities without internet, TV, home phone, and wireless services. The outage, affecting areas such as Masset and Prince Rupert, is due to vandalism, according to Telus. The company has not yet provided an estimated time of repair.

  @VanceYung_73 Telus has been fine. Koodo, a Telus subsidiary, also pretty good. Shaw was great! Rogers? Never again in this lifetime or the next.

  @endthehkylckout @yonkojohn First off, you're a moron. I've been through these buyouts from both Shaw and telus in the past. They will get the 12k employees off their payroll. You have no idea what you're talking about, and should probably just log off for the day lest others think you're an idiot too.

  Yes, according to Telus and CP24 reports, copper thieves damaged fibre optic lines while trying to steal copper cables. This caused the widespread outage across northwestern B.C. on May 4–5, knocking out phone, internet, and even affecting some 911 and hospital services. Repairs were underway quickly.
