  Hey @TELUS I can't log into my account. Your AI option has the IQ of a worm; I can't use chat because I'd have to be logged in, and of course you don't employ humans to service your cash cow customers soooo... Should I contact the CRTC to help me?

  @GotokujiLou @Francois_Houle @PierrePoilievre Yes. Even Telus employees in Calgary don’t like calling the Telus help line. My stepson works for Telus there.

  Oh, dear. Is there a massive internet outage in Canada? Cogeco, Bell, Rogers, Telus, Teksavvy and more are reporting problems. Check Downdetector. Everything seems to have started around 2pm EDT:

  TELUS Digital ran 90,000 simulations training contact center agents with ElevenLabs voice AI. Result: 20% faster onboarding. Early signs of lower turnover. Then they deployed an ElevenAgents voice agent to proactively call newly activated internet customers in their first 90 days. Outcome: customers who got the proactive call were less than half as likely to cancel within 30 days. Let me translate that into a number most contact center leaders will recognize. If you're running a telco with 100,000 new activations per quarter and a 15% 30-day churn rate — that's 15,000 customers churning before they even form a habit. Cut that rate in half with a proactive voice AI call and you're retaining 7,500 additional customers per quarter. At $50/month average revenue per customer over a 24-month average lifecycle, that's $9M in preserved revenue per quarter from a single proactive AI workflow. This is the number that shifts the conversation from "AI pilot" to "AI mandate." Three things are worth noting about the TELUS/ElevenLabs model: **1. They kept humans in the loop for complexity.** ElevenAgents handle high-volume routine calls and route complex or sensitive issues to human agents — who receive better-qualified interactions. The human workload improves in quality, not just quantity. **2. The agent training use case is often bigger than the customer-facing use case.** 90,000 simulations means new hires have practiced situations they might not encounter in their first 6 months of calls. That preparation is invisible on a dashboard but shows up in first-call resolution and escalation rates. **3. TELUS Digital is now a preferred implementation partner, not just a customer.** That's a distribution signal. Enterprise contact center operators trust vendors who can show they've operationalized the technology themselves. At Ender Turing we track enterprise CX deployments closely. The pattern from the last 12 months is clear: the organizations getting results aren't running bigger pilots. They're moving production workloads incrementally — starting with high-volume, low-variance use cases like proactive onboarding calls — and building from that baseline. 90,000 training simulations. 50% churn reduction. These aren't beta numbers. They're the new competitive baseline. If your team is still in the "exploring voice AI" phase, that baseline just moved.

  @tsxman This will be show me story. Can CEO with deep banking experience monetize Telus Health ? Can they sell their real estate to pay down debt? Can they sell their copper ? There will be little catalyst on the revenue side so they need to become a lot more efficient.

  @majgeoinvesting @EhrmantrautCap_ What they should have done with Series A? It is not that they could have cancel it. Last year they needed cash to fund Telus ramp up, but now when money is flowing in and they have excess capital they want to use to offset the dilution from Series A by buying stock back. There is past and there is present. A lot happened since last year.

  Seriously can’t wait to get Starlink when my Telus contract is up. What a god damn joke Canadian telecom is.

  @iJonniM @cbcwatcher Ya totally. They can acquire guns on the black market for thousands of dollars at great risk to themselves but can't walk down to telus and buy an iphone and a laptop. These are criminals that are not broke in most cases and the degree's they have obtained are NOT in IT.
