Paul Atkinson 🇨🇦 (@Paulysworld) reported from Gatineau, Quebec@mikesbloggity @jkenney @shandro It's their plan to privatize for $ healthcare. They only care about $ & the wealthy. They gut AB healthcare, fire 11k during a pandemic, refuse to shut down, go MIA, & will "suddenly" come up with a "private sector" (Telus health) solution... this is skulduggery they're Ghouls.

Eric Goodwin (@auxonic) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@human3500 @ALL_CAPS Lol... do we have an approach? Other than telus/bell looking for handouts to marginally improve poor service

ambivalent_one (@ambivalent_one) reported from Ottawa, OntarioHi @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

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

Paul McGuire (@mcguirp) reported from Ottawa, OntarioWhen told we will move to another company after our contract with @telus is over @TELUSsupport responded, this has nothing tobdovwith customer retention. I thought everything had to do with #CustomerService - there needs to be a better way!
-
Heather Badenoch 💉💉💉 (@HeatherBadenoch) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@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.
-
Vivek Dehejia (@vdehejia) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUSsupport Thanks, nope I didn't transfer this and got it from Telus last fall. Worked fine till this glitch today. But just had a friend call me and it's working again now. So I assume it was perhaps network congestion or something else temporary. Anyway, all good now!

Dave D Garand (@DaveInBlackburn) reported from Ottawa, OntarioMy #Telus phone service is kaput, anyone else?
-
EA (@ealculumbre) reported from Ottawa, OntarioAs 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
-
Michael Suddard (@MichaelSuddard) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@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. 🤔

Eric Goodwin (@auxonic) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@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”

Paul McGuire (@mcguirp) reported from Ottawa, OntarioAmazing statement today by @TELUS - if you keep your phone on airplane mode while overseas you will still incur roaming charges. Only way to prevent this, leave you SIM card in Canada. Terrible #CustomerService by @TELUSsupport

Nichole Foot (@nikkyhertz) reported@TELUS @TELUSsupport is your service down in all of SE Alberta? Hard to run a business & live rural when there’s no cell service
-
Alan (@Alan13105453) reported@TELUSsupport Note this part: "same-size Telus SIM card". Received another CPO iPhone (Same model) that accepted my Telus SIM card after a time-wasting replacement process. Issue should NEVER have happened. Point stands: Telus CPO program is not at all guaranteed.

Rachel Miller (@RachelMiller84) reported@status_is_down it seems as if Roger's internet is down? I have no internet through my cellphone (it was terribly sluggish yesterday) and only have home internet (Telus) to access wifi right now. #Rogersdown #Rogers #internet
-
Indiana Jones (@nuocmami28) reported@TELUS why doesn’t your service actually work and why is it that when I have a problem I am talking to someone from a different country who doesn’t seem to know what’s going on 99% of the time?
-
Steffi Radford (@SteffiRadford) reported@ScottRCarpenter Wait till the crash and it’ll be a cheap buy lol right now many businesses are down to pre 2015 pricing. I’ve been watching Telus and Capreit because they have high dividends and are super cheap right now. Lots of Canadian stocks right now are skyrocketing which usually happens before a correction.

VR! (@VicRizzzz) reported@Telus why does your cellular network always so slow . Please do something about it

Ai AM CAVEMAN (@CanadaScamada) reportedThe Northern lights Satellite Fight Rogers played it like a chess grandmaster while Bell, MTS, and Telus fumbled around like they were playing checkers with winter mittens on. In a country as vast and rugged as Canada, where huge swaths of land have zero cell coverage, satellite-to-mobile tech is the future for keeping people connected in the bush, on the water, or up north. Rogers saw the obvious winner and jumped in early with Starlink— Elon Musk’s low-Earth orbit beast with thousands of satellites already zipping overhead. They launched Rogers Satellite in 2025, starting with reliable texting, text-to-911, and emergency alerts on regular smartphones, then rapidly added support for popular apps like WhatsApp, Google Maps, AllTrails, and Messenger. By early 2026, they expanded it coast-to-coast (covering millions more square kilometres), tossed in free trials in places like Atlantic Canada, and just days ago rolled out seamless roaming into the US via T-Mobile’s Starlink-powered setup. No special hardware, no waiting years—real connectivity, right now, with proven performance and clear momentum toward full voice/data. Smart, decisive, and customer-first. Rogers basically turned every phone into a satellite phone where towers fear to tread. Meanwhile, Bell (and its MTS arm) and Telus decided to bet big on AST SpaceMobile, a scrappy Texas startup still scrambling to get its own satellite constellation properly off the ground lol. Bell hyped a “first” demo voice call back in 2025 and promised a 2026 launch, while Telus signed on in March 2026 with some equity investment and ground infrastructure talk. Their pitch? Future broadband, voice, and data… eventually. Late 2026 at the earliest for any real rollout, with a lot of “we’re building it” vibes and fewer actual customers using it today. The contrast is brutal and hilarious. Rogers is out here actually delivering satellite connectivity today—texts, apps, cross-border roaming—while Bell, MTS, and Telus are still waving around press releases about satellites that mostly exist as PowerPoint slides and optimistic timelines. Canadians stuck in dead zones don’t want “coming soon” promises; they want a signal when their truck breaks down in the middle of nowhere. Rogers chose the proven, massive, rapidly scaling Starlink network that’s already lighting up phones across the planet. Bell and Telus? They went with the long-shot alternative that’s playing catch-up. In the race to blanket Canada with space-based mobile service, one carrier sprinted ahead with the rocket ship… and the others are still warming up the backup prop plane. Right now, the industry is laughing: “Bell and Telus picked what?” While Rogers customers are sending “I’m alive” texts from the tundra, their rivals are busy explaining why their fancy future service isn’t quite ready yet. Classic Big Telecom brain fart—overthinking it, missing the obvious winner, and handing Rogers a massive marketing and coverage edge on a silver platter. Oof. That’s gotta sting. - Grok & Ai

Grok (@grok) reported@tOSUWRU @AniTVOfficial Sure! Latest on the Crunchyroll March 12 data breach class action (filed ~March 27 in N. Dist. California by plaintiff Emilia Enfield): Alleges negligence let hackers access ~6.8M users' emails, names, IPs, locations & support tickets via third-party vendor (Telus). Seeks up to $25k per affected U.S. user. Crunchyroll confirmed the incident March 24, says probe ongoing with cybersecurity experts—no ongoing access found, no payment data stolen unless users shared it in tickets. No major updates since filing; case is early stage. Will flag developments.

Idiom (@idiom_bytes) reportedCanada's privacy regulator cannot fine anyone for cyber attacks, data leaks, and systemic security negligence. ----------------------- The OPC found Loblaw was faking data deletion. They continue to keep your purchase history, IP addresses, and browsing data after you asked them to delete your account. Five days later, Loblaw disclosed a data breach. The penalty? A letter asking them to do better within 12 months. ----------------------- Telus Digital lost 1 petabyte of data. CIRO - the body that regulates your investment dealer, exposed 750,000 investors' SINs. PowerSchool exposed 2.77 million children's records. The hacker was a 19-year-old with stolen credentials. Total federal fines issued across all four breaches: $0. ----------------------- Bill C-27 would have introduced fines up to 3% of global revenue. It died in January 2025. No replacement has been tabled. ----------------------- If you're a lawyer in Canada who thinks this is broken, I'm building something. Follow along.
