  @kristelxo @TELUSsupport Good luck with Telus! I had my internet account paid and service terminated back in Apr and they sent a bill to collections that took me several calls to prove that I owed them nothing 🙄🤬

  The other day I had a prickly exchange with a Rogers Wireless phone rep. A couple days later I was renegotiating my Telus Optik TV terms. They dropped a ice promo on me if I switched my mobile over. In the back of my mind I was, **** Rogers man. Sign me up.

  @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

  @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.

  @TaraArmstrongBC The bean counters and Wildfire operations are married but sleep in different rooms. The ministry is actually one of the poorer agencies of the government and sort of like the US marines there is rarely all the equipment and personell one wants but generally people are gung ho and will always make do. There are some internal skirmishes and rivalries like contract vs ministry firefighters, or between crews but generally it's friendly and all in all BC has one of the most professional and world class wildfire suppression systems. I can say that because I've been doing it for 10 years and have worked with firefighters from a dozen countries and half the provinces and territories. When it comes to finances it's a different world. For example some idiot thought it would be a great idea for Telus (the phone company) to do the ministries payroll, a universally hated arrangement by crews. After all on a slow year there are a thousand firefighters sitting around on base or doing make work projects on the governments dime. Why bother with additional funding, it doesn't buy votes. On a hot year one does what can be done with resources available until a state of emergency is declared and then the money rolls in and the millions flow. Probably costing considerably more than if sufficient crews and equipment were allocated in the first place. I'm not in management but the solution is probably in training and maintaining an additional 1000 ministry firefighters, expansion of the Para program, a few additional air assets and properly funding the type 2 and type 3 contract resources instead of a chronic loss of professional firefighters leaving the profession because there is no work or incentive to stay on a slow year. On a forest management perspective perhaps allowing green belts (natural fire breaks) to grow instead of spraying glyphosate (dries out the forest) for profit, or hiring enough Rangers to police the logging companies to get them to actually stay in line and manage the forests the way they pretend they do. Current logging practice drops water tables. But that's a conversation nobody wants to have

  @TELUS you need a service so people needing temporary suspension between house moves can pay a fee and when you get the new house restart service!

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

  @bscholl $ASTS Blake Scholl Discovers AST’s Thesis, Then Forgets AST Exists Blake correctly identifies the hybrid terrestrial/satellite future, then skips enough due diligence to declare Starlink the “only good” satellite network while ignoring the company purpose-built for exactly that architecture. AST SpaceMobile has nearly 60 MNO relationships representing roughly 3 billion subscribers. AT&T and Verizon are strategic partners. Vodafone, Rakuten, Bell, TELUS and stc are partners. Vodafone, Orange, Telefónica and Deutsche Telekom, T-Mobile’s parent, are now conducting integration testing across Europe using ordinary smartphones and carrier spectrum. The fatal blow to Blake’s premise arrived three months before his post: AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon announced a technology-neutral D2D venture explicitly intended to support multiple satellite providers, preserve existing agreements and increase competition. The carriers’ published strategy is the opposite of surrendering themselves to an exclusive Starlink bottleneck. The products are not equivalent either. T-Mobile still advises using Starlink outdoors with a clear view of the sky and warns that coverage may be unavailable inside buildings, aircraft and other obstructed locations. AST’s giant phased arrays are designed to provide carrier-integrated broadband, including voice, video, apps and “one wall in” connectivity. AST is carrier-neutral infrastructure that aligns with MNOs instead of trying to subordinate them. Blake identified the future, ignored one of its central companies, contradicted the carriers’ actual strategy, and typed “QED?” as if kissing Elon’s *** were a substitute for due diligence.
