  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.

  @TELUSsupport I returned my telus equipment at Canada post a few minutes back after cancelling my internet service. I was told that it may take upto several weeks as they have heavy backlog at Canada post. Pls. Share the Cust.service email to share the Canada post receipt.

  @Ayan604 @TELUS @TELUSsupport 🚨 March 2026, Telus, Roger’s, and Freedom all had data links. As a result, bad actors are calling clients as if from a major provider and HAVE enough client details to make people believe it’s a legit call. Nobody in Canada should be providing anything on a cold call now. 🚨

  @Jonesing4truth @koodo Koodo is a trash company that would have gone out of business if Telus hadn’t bought them. Do not use them. Absolutely no customer service.

  @bleating_lamb @JimScarratt Didn't bother with transfer & changed provider, annual subscription for alternate payroll equivalent for one month earnie/telus. Now ready to dump gatekeeper... actively looking for alternatives...not convinced their offer for agronomist/mapping solution will be viable (30yrs FP)

  @TELUS @TELUSsupport Janal from "loyalty" tells me I cannot get a credit, even though Mariam from the previous department was able to... You tell me I can't speak to a manager.. So in essence wasted my ENTIRE GOTDAMN TIME. I will be escalating this to the BBB cause this is the WORST cx experience.

  @steeletalk 1/2 That doesn't sound like us and could be scam/phishing calls pretending to be TELUS. Check out our Call control feature that can help prevent many of these types of calls.

  @AngelaUnspoken Every 2 years I switch carriers. I was with Telus for 20 years and a new customer pays half the price an existing customer does. So now I rotate every 2 years and get the best deals. Most people nowadays can’t because of the credit check needed that’s why they screw existing customers.

  @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.
