  @telus your cell service SUCKS. Can’t even use the 5G EVER and LTE barely works. Get it together before I move on to Roger’s

  @TELUSsupport Having an alarm issue. I call the Telus Security phone number 855-255-8828 and they say there is an hour wait and no one called any of our call back numbers. BTW, the burglar won't stick around for an hour. Is your Securty system fully broken? Good grief.

  @RainGloaming @miaaowing I never manage to make it work but Telus still lets buy things off Google Play by adding it to your phone bill.

  Have missed 2 full days if work now waiting on @telus installation after moving. First day they weren't able to do anything because the tech was unable to fix a broken line. That got repaired and today the installer just didn't even bother to show up. As of Monday it will be 7 days (because I can get installers don't work weekends) with zero service and needing to use the public wifi in town just to communicate with anyone. This is entirely unacceptable. At least with other services I had the ability to hookup the damned modem and receivers myself, and not have to book off an entire day from work just to wait around for nothing at all. And no, I don't want to "DM" you Telus, it's kind of difficult when don't have any services at all. The LEAST your employees could do is keep their appointments, instead all I get is a text message at 5pm stating my "outside service has been completed". The outside service was done yesterday ffs. Likely because the actual linemen you have ARE competent. 16 hours of work and pay missed and zero compensation because customers time and livelihoods obviously don't matter.

  @TELUS Sorry your end burnt the bridge. It could have been resolved but you closed my account not me. Keep the dollars. I don’t Dm. Give me a number to call and maybe I will. But that person better be a top manager of public relations not a low employee. I doubt you will. Never again.
