  @policytensor @Tasnimnews_EN (1 of 2) I don't know but my hunch is that the US Gov't issued a blocking order to my service provider, Telus, (apparently a Canadian-owned firm that does not operate in the US) and it obeyed. During the 1962 Cuban missile crisis, there was a standoff between the US and Canada

  @BenRabidoux The poor coverage quality was unbearable. Telus is cooked. Fibre internet is still solid.

  @TELUSsupport between August 28 and today I have spoke to at least 8-9 Telus agents to resolve a problem . I’ve had agents diarize to call me back as follow up … nothing . Any other business working like this would be bankrupt. Telus is the worst choice ever a client could make

  Please @TELUS can you work to improve the very poor cellular service at Pinery Provincial Park? We don't need gigabit service, but basic call and messaging services would offer basic safety.

  @wealthmoose I'd do this in crayon if that would help. This is called a business deal. Google it, it happens all the time. ie: Bell and Telus and Rogers each use the others network as it saves them $ so they don't have to build an entire network saving them $. You seem ignorant of business.

  @RogersHelps It was door to door sales and I ended up switching my; cell service (2 numbers), internet and TV service to Rogers based on the salespersons GUARANTEE that Rogers would pay the penalty to leave TELUS. I explicitly with emphasis told him I had JUST renewed with TELUS and there

  @brettdrc Telus was never admired. Not that I remember.

  Telus needs to simplify their offerings. How much energy and time do they spend making all these complicated packages that are difficult to decipher and that require customers to phone in? A very customer-unfriendly approach.

  @AngelaUnspoken I only connected the dots recently when my phone crashed and I had to replace it. Started searching for the best mobile phone rates and explored the links: Interesting that there are only Three Major Networks and Subsidiaries in Canada Telus Network Family ◦Telus Mobility: Main carrier providing nationwide 5G coverage. Visit Telus. ◦Koodo Mobile: Mid-tier flanker brand owned by Telus. Visit Koodo. ◦Public Mobile: Value/prepaid brand operating on the Telus network. Bell Network Family ◦Bell Mobility: Major national carrier. Visit Bell. ◦Virgin Plus: Flanker brand offering mobile and-home services. ◦Lucky Mobile: Prepaid discount brand. Rogers Network Family ◦Rogers Wireless: Major national carrier. ◦Fido: Popular flanker brand. ◦Chatr Mobile: Discount brand focused on talk, text, and budget data. One Independent / Regional Network ◦Freedom Mobile: Major regional carrier owned by Quebecor. It looks like Virgin Plus at Bell offers the best plan at the best rates and Koodo at Telus plays a lot of pricing games on customers. So few choices in Canada. Wonder how that happened?
