Telus Issues Reports Near Ottawa, Ontario
Latest outage, problems and issue reports in Ottawa and nearby locations:
-
David McGuffin (@mcguffindavid) reported from Chelsea, Quebec@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.

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
-
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
-
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.

Paul McGuire (@mcguirp) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@intudes @TELUS I think they use that to their advantage. Also doesnt excuse terrible customer service @TELUSsupport
-
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!
-
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!
-
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
-
Michael.L (@OCT_Fan) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@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 .
-
Will O'Neill (@wtoneill) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@TELUS should market a home security service that blocks the daily ads I receive from Telus for their home security 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
-
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.
-
Eric Goodwin (@auxonic) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@ALL_CAPS @TELUS How about cut off all incumbents from new spectrum auctions until there’s fibre literally every damn place.

Stacey Simmons (@mssimmonssays) reported from Ottawa, Ontario@mcguirp @TELUS It doesn't matter, they are all awful😪
-
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”

-
Scott (@gmaniaus) reported@telusmobility I arrived in the US and got a text from Telus letting me know I am now roaming and my plan includes roaming but I can’t send texts and no data. Help pls
-
Sadiabc (@74Sadiabc) reported@TELUS took almost 3 phone calls since my Dad passed away in August 2025 to get through to a Telus Customer Service rep who could actually help. You should give Carl a RAISE! The rest of your agents are useless. Train them better
-
Alan Errington (@AlanErrington) reported@arnesalvesen Yes, optic on telus. It’s been happening for a while, same channel, same time. Surely they must be aware of it & try to fix it? Seems really amateur?
-
Omni G (@OmniG7) reported@StephenPunwasi @fordnation You with Rodgers right? I know people that can Breach that, Same with bell or Telus. Your not safe to do as you wish and **** the country over, I will report on it regardless.
-
MRD (@MRD87694463) reported@VanIsleInvestor Dont forget the security breach was known about for months before telus admitted to it. Did telus pay? are they allowing their customer data to get released? No outcome yet, but the timing is also perfectly aligned with Darren leaving. Just customer data, or something else?

Ai AM CAVEMAN (@CanadaScamada) reportedWinnipegers have had enough. For years, major telecom providers like Bell MTS and Telus (along with others in the big telecom club) have dominated the market in Manitoba with high prices, unreliable service, frequent outages, and frustrating customer support that often leaves people on hold for hours or bouncing between agents. Customers routinely report surprise bill increases, slow or inconsistent speeds, poor coverage in parts of the city and surrounding areas, and endless hassles when trying to fix simple issues. Many feel taken advantage of—paying premium rates for subpar, sometimes insecure connections that struggle during peak times or bad weather. Complaints have piled up nationally, with the big providers frequently topping lists for billing disputes, contract problems, and overall poor service. It's a classic case of limited competition leading to complacency: pay up or put up with it. But relief is on the horizon. Starlink is stepping in as a game-changing alternative, delivering high-speed satellite internet that works almost anywhere with a clear view of the sky. No more relying on aging cables or spotty towers—users in and around Winnipeg and rural Manitoba are reporting faster, more consistent speeds (often 100+ Mbps down), lower latency for streaming and gaming, and far better reliability than traditional options in areas where wired service has lagged. Setup is straightforward with self-install hardware, there's no long-term contract lock-in for many plans, and it's proving especially valuable for those fed up with the old guard. While pricing isn't the absolute cheapest in dense urban spots with fibre available, it often undercuts or matches what people were paying for inferior service—and the freedom from constant headaches makes it feel like a bargain. The message from frustrated Winnipegers is clear: the days of being held hostage by shoddy, overpriced telecom are numbered. Plastering their names on the local hockey teams heads as a mark of ownership will fool none. Starlink is here to give people real choice and better connectivity. Time to point that dish skyward and leave the old frustrations behind. -Grok & Ai

Canadian Oil 🇮🇱 (@oilcanadian4) reported@telus TELUS, you can keep your hold music, I’ve got better things to waste my life on. I want to cancel my internet and my phone...
-
Vancouver Island Guy 🌊 (@VanIsleInvestor) reportedBNN Andrey Omelchak: $T Telus I'm worried about the dividend, the payout is high and problems with leverage. They have a leadership transition and a ex Bank CEO taking over. I expect they cut the dividend. Look to reset and see the CEO look at new growth initiatives.

James (@James099878) reported@globalnews The bad news is Telus sent him a bill for 62 million dollars cause he didn’t have roaming.

The Wise Investor 🧠 (@TheWiseIC) reported@NorthugCapital @BubleQe Telus still has ~ 15% down to go before I think it is fairly valued. It is still at a premium to bell.
