  @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.

  @JenniferNKing @TELUS @TELUSsupport That's what they said. Will never travel with a @telus phone again. Lesson learned. Terrible customer service.

  @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!

  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

  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.

  Amazing 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

  @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. 🤔

  @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

  @TELUS should market a home security service that blocks the daily ads I receive from Telus for their home security service.

  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

  @RyanNPike **** @Rogers. Cancel your Sportsnet subscription. Switch your cable and internet to telus. They buy out MLSE and then start stripping the rest of Canada? Hope you like "All leafs, all the time!".

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS Three months ago I was told I would receive a refund of $15.68. Instead, after three months, I noticed a charge of $6.72 deducted from my account. I have not used your service during the past three months, and I did not authorize this deduction.

  @TELUSsupport @TELUS cable is still A mess.Going 2 address it or just ignore upset customers and hope they continue to give you their business. @Rogers can you provide cable that doesn’t continually cut out and internet that actually works? And do this without ripping up my lawn?

  @ipawskatyt Virgin Plus is Bell. I don't mind Telus. Until their customer service tells you they forgot to tell you about a 39 dollar outstanding bill that is now gone to collections because, well, they just can't be arsed. Canada has the worst telecoms set up in the world.

  Is the telecom sector about to trigger a massive investment supercycle? Nokia ($NOK) just dropped a bombshell by launching the industry’s first AI-native RAN platform, but this isn't just another isolated corporate press release. Yesterday's Q2 2026 earnings from Ericsson ($ERIC) and rapid shifts from major network operators confirm that the global telecom infrastructure Capex is undergoing a historic transformation. The smart money is quietly connecting some highly lucrative, asymmetric dots. 👇 1. What is AI-RAN & Why Does It Matter? Traditional Radio Access Networks (RAN) rely on incredibly expensive, rigid, proprietary hardware. AI-RAN virtualizes this entire architecture into software. Cell towers essentially become agile, edge-computing micro-datacenters. The hardware doesn't just route your calls; it processes AI workloads on the fly. The mastermind behind this is NVIDIA ($NVDA) and the AI-RAN Alliance (which unites NVIDIA, Nokia, Ericsson, SoftBank, and T-Mobile). Their goal? Push GPU-accelerated computing into every base station. Nokia claims this software-led, accelerated shift will boost spectral efficiency by 20% immediately, with a roadmap to >100% by 2028. For debt-laden operators, this means doubling network capacity without buying more multi-billion-dollar spectrum or replacing physical towers. 2. From Slides to Capex: What Ericsson's Q2 Earnings Just Confirmed We are officially moving past the "proof of concept" phase. Just yesterday, during Ericsson’s Q2 earnings call, outgoing CEO Börje Ekholm explicitly stated: "The next phase of AI is going to benefit our industry quite substantially... especially as physical AI develops." To fund this massive transition and offset inflationary hardware parts, Ericsson is actively raising prices on legacy contracts, paving the way for AI-RAN standard deployments. Global tier-1 carriers are already jumping in: > SK Telecom $SKM (South Korea) is launching a massive national AI-RAN pilot to test real-world physical AI applications (like automated factory robots and drone sensing). > T-Mobile US has partnered with NVIDIA, Ericsson, and Nokia to launch a Joint AI-RAN Innovation Center to standardize this tech in the US. > Telus (Canada) is deploying AI-powered network controllers to optimize spectral efficiency and slash tower power consumption. 3. The Derivative Play: AmpliTech ($AMPG) Nokia, Ericsson, and NVIDIA are massive, slow-moving ships. To find true market asymmetry, smart money looks for niche, highly-certified hardware enablers. To run software-heavy, GPU-driven AI-RAN, you still need highly advanced, open-standard (O-RAN) hardware on the ground to handle the high-frequency radio waves. Enter AmpliTech Group ($AMPG), a US-designed micro-cap manufacturing high-performance 64T64R Massive MIMO radios. In his latest discussions with Maxim Group (following up on my yesterday's post), the CEO highlighted a major strategic pivot that flipped the script for shareholders: > ATM Canceled: Completely terminating their dilutive at-the-market equity sales facility. > $10M Buyback: Launching a massive $10M stock repurchase program funded entirely by cash on hand, signaling to Wall Street that management believes the stock is heavily undervalued. > Strong Fundamentals: This move is backed by stellar Q1 results - revenue surged 48.6% YoY to $5.35M, while gross margins skyrocketed to 48% (up from 33% last year). As one of the very few US-designed, O-RAN certified hardware providers with a clean balance sheet, they are uniquely positioned to capture domestic infrastructure contracts as US telcos upgrade to GPU-accelerated AI-RAN architecture. Summary When giants like NVIDIA, Nokia, Ericsson, SK Telecom, and Telus validate a trend, the hardware supply chain wins first. AI-RAN is setting up to be one of the most under-the-radar infrastructure plays of late 2026. Are you sticking to legacy giants, or hunting for asymmetric risk-reward in the micro-cap space?

  Halton Police Charge Man in Alleged Rogers, Bell and Telus 'Fake Agent' Scam A 42-year-old man is facing multiple charges after Halton Regional Police say they uncovered a "fake agent" fraud scheme involving stolen electronic devices valued at more than $36,000. According to the Halton Regional Police Service, the investigation began earlier this month after officers were alerted to several suspicious packages being shipped to a post office box in Milton. Police say the scam involved fraudsters posing as representatives of major telecommunications companies, including Rogers, Bell and Telus. Victims were allegedly convinced to order new smartphones or other electronic devices through their existing wireless accounts after being falsely told the products would be provided free of charge. Once the devices were delivered, investigators allege the victims were contacted again and told there had been an error with the order. They were then instructed to return the devices to a post office box controlled by the suspects. Police say the electronics were ultimately shipped overseas and sold for profit. Members of the Halton Regional Police Financial Crimes Unit conducted surveillance on the post office box and arrested a suspect on July 9 while he was allegedly collecting the fraudulent packages. Adnan Asghar,42, of Milton has been charged with: -Fraud Over $5,000 -Possession of Property Obtained by Crime Over $5,000 -Laundering Proceeds of Crime Investigators allege Asghar was found in possession of 22 electronic devices, including iPhones, iPads and Samsung Galaxy smartphones, with a combined value exceeding $36,000.
