  feels like Groundhog Day (@sliver9754) reported 4 minutes ago from North Vancouver, British Columbia

  @TELUSsupport @pattibacchus Telus is brutal! They convinced us that their service was better so we went to them after many happy years with Shaw, then instantly had issues they wouldn’t resolve and now we are stuck with them unless we pay 3 years of penalties! Counting the months to go back to @support_shaw

  @Zpdoodaa Beginning of this thread, “I formed an off shore company….”. Why? As an American I assumed you work in the US. Off shore entities are created for tax avoidance purposes. TELUS is a network provider in western Canada. Have an off shore LLC used to allow a Chinese partner. Booted.

  @Shawhelp Myself and two other people (all with university educations) were unable to figure out how to install it, and now I’m paying for a service I’m not receiving. Make this right immediately or I’m going back to @TELUS.

  Telus knows as well as I do that I only have one other option for internet so they aren’t that motivated to provide technicians that can help with anything outside of plugging in a device. My husband had to troubleshoot for them last week.

  @BuddJacket @BigNasty6oh4 @BigNasty6oh4 This. You just play them off each other and watch them beg for your service like the corporate bloodsuckers they are. Telus all day for TV never had complaints about their internet and I okay poker online. Just watch the upselling. Bloodsuckers all of them so.

  @Atomos @Cinecraig Or Edmonton. I knew a guy there who was a network engineer at Telus and wore shorts on casual Friday EVERY week of the year, because his new boss once said “at least this shorts nonsense will end in winter” in earshot of the guy.

  Hey @Translink it's way past time we got indigenous place names going on some of these SkyTrain stations. Like Patterson? Braid? "Main St Science World"??? A) it's the Telus World of Science these days B) we don't need you to tell us it's on main st C) **** colonialism in the ear

  @keithbaldrey Good for @Telus to remedy the issue with the call centres and finding ppl to man the phones. Just curious why Telus can’t respond to actual customer concerns that quickly & remedy issues that arise. Funny how that works.

  Dave Pasin (@dave_pasin) reported 32 minutes ago from Vancouver, British Columbia

  @kboyd05 Good luck. Took 1.5 hrs to deal with @TELUS yesterday to deal with an over billing issue. On any given day, Telus is possibly the worst company in Canada to deal with. Bureaucratic, unresponsive, inept, and that’s just the start.

  @roguekiwi1 I feel your pain. It is now 3:45pm Saturday. I finally got through at 3pm today after starting at noon. They said the reboot of the system that they suspended in error would take 15minutes it has been 45 minutes and still nothing. 😡😡😡#telussucks #telus #terrible

  Who is better than @telus for home WiFi? Currently paying for the most expensive internet that is slow, intermittently down, and has the worst customer service.

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS #customersupport Is Telus shutdown? There is no customer rep to pick up customers calls to get cell phone support. My God! I disconnected phone after 2 hours

  BdblE (@MsYouDoYou) reported 45 minutes ago from Burnaby, British Columbia

  @NoLogsNoCrime I will try this. We had Telus internet, too. But my strata won’t let fibre and Telus makes the other service useless so you’ll upgrade and we couldn’t run the business so we had to switch. Pretty sure that’s not solved so no going back.

  David Schreck (@StrategicThghts) reported 47 minutes ago from North Vancouver, British Columbia

  @TerryPlatt5 @TELUS @Shawhelp I had a similar problem when I had Shaw. Turns out old cable has impedance that isn’t compatible with modern digital equipment. Not all technicians know that.

• 
  BdblE (@MsYouDoYou) reported 51 minutes ago from Burnaby, British Columbia

  @dustbobgod So far so good. We had to leave Telus, because it became unusable, and it’s been a delight ever since. With the exception of last week when the internet was out for most of a day but, hydro caused that problem. I was hesitant but happy to have switched. My wifi works now.

  I love how Telus wears "we have the best customer service" on its sleeve and it still billed me AFTER I CUT MY SERVICE. I hate your service even more without even using it. That's a new low for a company in my books.

  Anyone having problems with @TELUS ? No internet on #Burnaby #BritishColumbia. Please help @TELUSsupport

  @hurrrdurrr @juliekrobe I mean, Copeman still exists, though owned by Telus now so not entirely. Also, you know full well the Canadian health care system would treat her and presumably she’s got travel insurance.

  @lumme_s @VsFan Don't disagree but my sister on Telus say the same...telecom just **** us over...where Where's the government?

  @marchaslam1 @TELUS Not sure fault lies with the install tech. He did a great job, everything worked but it took time before voicemail disappeared. Two years ago I had similar problem. Was told I’d have to switch to fibre to fix voicemail, I said I’d go to Shaw, then they miraculously fixed it.

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport I WILL be escalating. Cause I have gotten zero resolution in a company I have been with for 20+ years. FIX THIS NOW.

  Canada is in serious trouble. Telus stock is an indicator of what is to come. 😳

  SierraAlphaJuliet (@joneseygirl2022) reported 12 minutes ago

  @FringedCanuck @Starlink Central Alberta here on Starlink. We have had no issues to speak of here. After years of Telus non-service and dial up speed level internet service, we are really happy with Starlink.

• 
  Peggy Blair (@peggy_blair) reported 14 minutes ago

  @OILanatude @Rogers @telusmobility Yes. And I literally just got a lower-priced deal from them 6 months ago because I was threatening to leave to go to Telus after a series of issues with Rogers that saw me file a complaint with the CCTS. $5 increase 6 months later.

  Clayton (@phinx404) reported 15 minutes ago

  @TELUS I had to switch one already after they went in store to get new sim. Try to help but it’s just another dead zone in southern Ontario. I have others that drop or silence for 10 seconds in same spots while they driving. It’s useless. 20yrs and worst reception.

• 
  FK (@dagdakiayaz) reported 15 minutes ago

  Hey @Rogers, I requested to move my internet service last month. A technician came out and told me that the Telus cable currently in use is provided by my landlord, while the Rogers cable is buried behind the drywall. Apparently, I now need to hire a third party to demolish the drywall and access the Rogers cable just to get my internet installed. Is Rogers going to help resolve this, or should I just switch to @TELUS?

  Claire Rattée (@ClaireRattee) reported 16 minutes ago

  Northwest B.C. cannot continue to be one cut cable away from losing critical communications. Following yet another widespread telecommunications outage on August 2, reportedly caused by copper cable theft, I have written to the Minister of Citizens’ Services asking what the Province is doing to improve the resilience and reliability of our telecommunications infrastructure. When these outages happen, the consequences go far beyond inconvenience. Residents can lose access to emergency information, businesses can’t process transactions, families can’t communicate, and entire communities can be left without reliable access to essential services. After the major outage in May, my office raised concerns with both TELUS and the Province about the lack of redundancy in Northwest B.C. and asked what was being done to prevent another widespread disruption. Months later, we are still waiting for meaningful answers, and now it has happened again. Copper theft is a growing problem, but whether an outage is caused by theft, wildfire, severe weather or infrastructure failure, our communities should not be left so vulnerable to a single point of failure. I’m asking the Province for clear answers on redundancy, infrastructure investment, emergency connectivity, and what steps are being taken with telecommunications providers to ensure Northwest communities can stay connected when something goes wrong. Reliable telecommunications are essential infrastructure, and Northwest B.C. deserves the same level of reliability and resiliency as the rest of the province.

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport has to be the worst company around. Trying yo setup a new digital box for my 84 yr old mom. Get to the end and get an error, which looks like the backend is not synced with the login. OK-go to chat, put in number, says they will call in 15 mins. Yeah right

  Anyone else having issues with @Starlink ? Two days in a row I’ve had sketchy asf service. Cutting in and out. That’s the kind of **** connection Telus,Rogers and Bell have on the daily. Not Starlink. I pay through the *** for my Home system and mini. There are no obstructions or otherwise. wtf is going on………
