    @HeneinThorn I’m pretty happy with Virgin 🇨🇦 @virginmobilecan Though I’m thinking of going back to Virgin as TELUS has the worst policy re paying ones bill .

  • PBoyer82
    Paul Boyer (@PBoyer82) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @TELUS fix your dang app please. I can’t pay my bill through the app because it won’t load. I either get wrong password or cannot connect to server. #help

    EA (@ealculumbre) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    @TELUSsupport I can confirm this is happening in #Ottawa area codes starting with K1Y. Please bring this up to management - Telus tech support has already acknowledged the issue and now we’d like to see it resolved. Keep us posted with steps your taking to resolve it.

    @Ottawa_Biker @OC_Transpo Normally I don't have any issues in the tunnels until this past week and late week before. So strange. The St Laurent Mall Telus network usually picks me up no problem. Maybe I should try that one too. 🤔

    @mrabson Any chance you’re on Telus or Koodo? Their free Call Control service blocks robocalls. I haven’t had one in more than a year.

    Hi @koodo! I'm wondering what I can do about consistently low cell reception at home. I get poor audio on calls, dropped calls and often calls go right to voicemail. This isn't new, it been gradually getting worse over the last couple of years. It's also affecting the Telus cells

    @tleehumphrey @TELUS It will be good, the working from anywhere needs more bandwidth. This will help people increasing their cellphone speeds. Businesses need to recover.

  • mcguffindavid

    @perreaux I ultimately quit Bell mobility and went to Telus for a variety of reasons which could be summed up as “I really didn’t feel like they gave a crap if I was a customer or not.” So far Telus feels more attentive. Kind of like the difference between Air Canada and WestJet.

    Let's put big hurt this afternoon against are hated rival Peterborough Petes this afternoon. Today home opener for home town ottawa 67's and sent them packing back down highway 7 to Peterborough this afternoon . This team has no quit #AllConnected @TELUS

  • ealculumbre
    EA (@ealculumbre) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    As long as I’m on LTE my #Ottawa reception is at 1 bar and reception extremely choppy. When changed to 3G service goes up to 2/3 bars & audio conversations became possible. - We shouldn’t have to choose between the two @TELUS @TELUSsupport

  • bramabramson
    Bram Abramson (@bramabramson) reported from Hull, Quebec

    @Mark_Goldberg @TELUS And not just normalizing for units consumed, either: also reasonable bundle allocation & a dozen other things. Dividing aggregates by aggregates is the worst approach, except all the others -- better would be to opt out of market analysis. Which apparently has perils too. #crtc

    ambivalent_one (@ambivalent_one) reported from Ottawa, Ontario

    Hi @madebygoogle I love my Pixel 6 Pro but it's by far the phone with the worst signal strength I've had in my area. @koodo and @TELUS both have low signal normally but of the phone I've had this is the only one that has dropped calls and gone offline. I'm in the burbs.

    @TELUS I support government owned and operated infrastructure because the big telcos like you refuse to invest in it. You’re looking for a handout and to that I say “shove off”

    @JimWatsonOttawa is @Rogers participating to provide cellular service in the tunnel, even tho Telus is

    @ALL_CAPS @TELUS How about cut off all incumbents from new spectrum auctions until there’s fibre literally every damn place.

    @TELUSsupport @TELUS @TELUSBusiness After hours on the phone with your customer support some rude and some very nice #telus will not credit our bill the $400 in data charges on my daughters line which only has talk/text. Back to #Rogers you lost $3k/yr 4 lines over $400 credit.

  • Eddie1968K
    Edward K. Watson (@Eddie1968K) reported

    Yeah, @TELUS just about every day I get calls from someone with a heavy Indian accent claiming to be Kirk, or George, or Frank bugging me to buy your products. All it does it make me HATE you and never buy from you.

  • ScammerDefence
    Scammer Defence (@ScammerDefence) reported

    @yourtvkingston @KingstonPolice The remote-access request is the biggest tell — Bell, Rogers, or Telus will never call you and ask to install AnyDesk or TeamViewer to fix a billing issue. If they do, hang up. Verify by calling the number on your bill. Report it at CAFC: 1-888-495-8501.

  • sharondaniel91
    Sharon Daniel ©️🎭 (@sharondaniel91) reported

    So here goes again, @TELUSsupport @TELUS If my contract ends on April 22, 2026, why would you charge me the full price of the service before the contract ends ? For example, if I pay $65, the service should be $113 after April 22, not before. You’re breaking the contract??

  • oreoshitwagon
    OrSh (@oreoshitwagon) reported

    @ryangerritsen I just canceled Telus internet yesterday (contract over) and I’m so relieved to be free from their overpriced garbage service. I would’ve much preferred the online route had it been available. They offered me same service at half price locked in for 5 years. *******.

    @TELUS Worst service ever, don’t try to use it.

  • treadon
    Ritesh (@treadon) reported

    @ProvoGal01 @TELUS @TELUSsupport Would you pay an extra $10 a month on your bill for "Domestic Customer Support"? Genuinely curious, maybe this is something Telus can consider.

  • JasonI_X
    jay X (@JasonI_X) reported

    🇨🇦Canada🇨🇦. • Industry dominance — Groceries: Top 4-5 chains control ~72-80% market share, fueling high food prices (up 30% in 5 years, highest G7 food inflation). Telecom: Big Three (Bell/Rogers/Telus) hold 80-90% wireless market, high bills. Car insurance: Elevated rates in many provinces. • Real estate — Foreign buyer ban extended to Jan 2027, but past offshore/domestic investor activity inflated prices; housing remains unaffordable. • Private colleges — “Diploma mills” exploit international students with misleading promises, poor quality; crackdowns ongoing amid permit caps. • Tax overload — Paycheque deductions, GST/HST on buys, property taxes, embedded in utilities/fuel/bills, plus annual filings — heavy multi-level burden. Other pressures: Soaring cost of living (groceries/utilities/housing), long healthcare waits, big bank fees, productivity stagnation, wage insecurity despite data debates.

    @stevemcniven @blondehotcoffee Rogers service is unreliable and just terrible up north. Bell is no better. I don’t even think Telus does internet up north. Only reliable internet provider is Eastlink, however quite a few people have been making the switch to starlink since it’s cheaper than eastlink.

    @ProvoGal01 @TELUS @TELUSsupport Switch out... Hey, I've got my phone bill down to $40/mo (no contract) at a company who answers the calls in Canada.
