    God speed the technician that comes back to deal with these @TELUS network issues because we have pages and pages of notes and screenshots and videos where we go from our 60 mbps to 0 until we reboot the system they fixed Thursday. I have to find somewhere to work tomorrow.

    @reporteremma Telus, Bell, and Rogers played these games in Windsor, Ontario (where I formerly lived) for years. The only solution I found was them adding a note / rule on my account that I wasn’t liable for roaming in Michigan. But it’s annoying having to call to back out charges. Frustrating

    @vancitysportswx It is a good route but not capable of handling the inevitable increase in volume, cell coverage is terrible #telus #rogers need to come up with an immediate upgrade plan

    @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.

  • PaulDoroshenko
    Prairie Paul (@PaulDoroshenko) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    I’m trying to contact @Telus business. Their website has no contact number. Took me 10 minutes and I found it on another site. I will do everything possible not to deal with @telus or Shaw. Imagine if you had a service interruption? Can’t call them? Ridiculous.

    @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.

    Had a good talk with .@Shawhelp this weekend. After 20+ years of service, they played the greed game and didn’t want to talk. Called @TELUS and so happy to talk and worked a fabulous deal. father in law is happy as he will be saving $600/ year on home internet, cable and phone.

    @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

    @TELUS’ internet service has gotten so bad that we have to pay for 2 DSL lines to keep our TV, Internet and security system somewhat stable.

    BdblE (@MsYouDoYou) reported from Burnaby, British Columbia

    @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.

    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.

    Nicky Bullets (@nbrosef) reported from Vancouver, British Columbia

    @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.

    @TedNesNA @TELUS @TELUSBusiness I overpaid on my dad’s account after he died. They’ve never refunded it.

    @TELUS @TELUSsupport On Sunday your technicians were working outside my house and they disconnected the internet cables and now I don't have internet in my house, I call to your call center and they don't give me a solution, and I have to wait for a technician to go to my house..

  • StrategicThghts
    David Schreck (@StrategicThghts) reported 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.

    @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.

    @JakeLandauTO @TDarcyM @taxspendlib That's a very different threat model and I agree 100%. But the Telus sovereign AI is being used in commercial applications (specifically mine, my team gets the weird ****).

    @millennials4_wp @JasonHjal I know the U.S. data centres are ill conceived. But Telus intends to use rainwater off BC place next door etc. it seems like some thought has put into this but…. You are absolutely right the municipality I would hope has done their due diligence with Telus or it’s a bad look

    @TELUS the level of disgust I feel over your handling of the lawsuit regarding 911 and Dean Switzer death was easily sufficient for me to terminate my account.

    @JamesDueck @MarkJCarney Makes sense for Telus, free money from the Feds, AI eliminates masses of employees, Telus rakes in more cash. Win , win for those damn shysters.

    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.

    @johnnycakes91 Happens pretty frequently with Telus/Rogers. Telus in particular is bad because their agent bill things wrong pretty frequently and they just dump the file on Telus after they do the sell

    Canada is doubling down on sovereign AI infrastructure. Following the sell-out of their first AI Factory, TELUS and the Canadian government are building three new state-of-the-art facilities in BC.

    @dewolfe001 @TELUS @telusmobility Crazy, I recently had the same experience! Cancelled business lines last August, kept billing me, totalling over $3500. Had to fight for a month to get it back. Also told me I owed $900 for my iPhone still, it was half that. Terrible company. Switched to Rogers, half the price, better service.
