connectivity issues
Our internet keeps dropping my laptop out. It is so disappointing. I moved to a brand new unit and Telus was installed and ready to use. So, I signed a contract, but the connection is not reliable and cuts out when I most need it!!! Please send a technician to fix the problem.

I have Optik TV and have subscribed to Apple TV+ some time ago. I understand that I need to connect my Telus account to Apple, but I seem to have not done that correctly. I no longer have the Activate subscription email from Telus. How can I get my account linked?DanRW5 hours agoNeighbour24Views0likes2CommentsProfile Settings Not Holding
Anyone having issues with profiles not holding when selected on TELUSTV-21T Android Optik TV+ I have a Main profile and one additional. When I turn off box or it goes to sleep and was last viewing on Main it defaults to the second profile when reactivated. It used to hold the last viewed profile. Now in order to get it to accept Main you have to select the other profile then go back to Home and toggle to Settings then reselect Main which is a pain.41Views0likes2CommentsNeed separate isolated network for work purposes

I recently received a phone call from a Telus Business Account Specialist who had been trying to contact me for the past couple of months. I was out of the country. She was calling our urgent patient care line and speaking to my colleague instead of sending me an email. I tried calling her back once but her voicemail was not clear and I didn’t know how to return the call. You can imagine with all of the spam going around that it’s hard to trust people cold calling like this. And it was all just so that I can renew my contract with Telus. I don’t understand how this can’t be handled through a secure app. I had no way to verify if this caller was legitimate and then how to trust the email she sent. There has to be a better way Telus. You are a huge company and your business services are very weak.Lucina9 hours agoNeighbour24Views0likes4CommentsWi-Fi Issues
Hello, I have turned to here because attempting to get proper help from Telus Support/Customer Service serves no purpose. My family has been with Telus for years, somehow they are the best ones around. However with Fiber optic and updated wifi boxes, booster boxes, and multiple resets/tests running the wifi is extremely unreliable. It slows down drastically, stops working, turns on/off by itself, and most importantly Telus say's it has a high rate of speed 500 MB/s + but I believe it's pure fraud. No one in my family has old technology expect for the living room PS4, so it cannot be blamed on bad/old devices. These devices connected to the home wifi can barely run google sometimes. It is unable to load even emails and regular quick actions such as weather. It isn't a one time issue, it happens and happens until wifi becomes unusable and I have to deal with the problematic Telus support. They literally never do anything, waste 1 hour, and then say the solution is to pay for a "better" plan, only $100+ a month. We went through that process of "upgrading" until we realized it's a scam and it's the same wifi. What is interesting is that the Telus speed check app say's a high rate 500 mb/s +, but when you do it on different apps or even playstation test wifi speeds it comes back at 10-15 mb/s. And it sure does feel that way. I mean my 2023 Macbook Pro struggling to load google on home wifi is real embarrassing when free public wifi is faster. Does anyone else experience the same issues with home wifi slowing down a lot? Is there any better providers or plans with other companies? Is there a way to get real help from Telus?SolvedToki111 hours agoNeighbour7.6KViews1like4CommentsNew 2026 Optik TV Box woes
First take on our new Telus Optic TV box. We received our new boxes last week to replace the current 4 that we have. We were told by a friendly tech services rep in the Philippines that everything would be the same or better and that we would still have our recorded programs and I assumed scheduled settings. No such luck. Not only have we lost recordings, but we need to reschedule programs for recording. Accessing the recordings now involves one extra step. Furthermore, there are no menu options for Play, Save, Delete, Series record info, Cancel series, Change settings, series priority, and Delete recordings. The screen is often cluttered with windows of other offerings and options; particularly when the TV is first turned on. Finally figured out to hit the back button to clear the detritus. The Guide no longer shows live video previews of the channels; just a still of the show or channel. The pause, skip, and fast forward modes are quirky. Am I a happy camper? Far from it. Anyone love the new boxes?ChrisX12 hours agoOrganizer206Views1like9CommentsPVR Replacement
Our PVR (UIW8001) kicked the bucket and was not recording. So we had that PVR and a settop box on 2 TV's (UIW4001). After 2 calls to Tech Support and Customer Loyalty (Hate the automated help, basically useless). A newer PVR was sent out, model VIP5662W, in which the instructions state to place by the modem and not connect the HDMI to your TV. Ok, now we are short a settop box. I called again and asked for a settop box and received a new old UIW8001 PVR which was manufactured 2 years prior to the original. The next day we received a TELUSTV-21T Box, and if we want to record an extra $10 monthly charge.. All I wanted was a replacement PVR and I have ended up with a "PVR/Cloud" for the main TV and a PVR+Settop box for the 2nd TV and the recordings don't transfer between the 2. Am I missing something here?SolvedRichard6013 hours agoNeighbour1.3KViews0likes3CommentsReseting a Wireless Optik TV 4K Box wifi connection
For the life of me, My Telus Optik 4K boxes would not play my TV unless they were hardwired. I couldn't hardwire all of them due to location. All the online advice to reboot the optik tv boxes did nothing to fix the problem. The Boxes clearly show the wireless signal strength is very low, 1 to 2 bars max. I had a shaw tech recently come to my air bnb and he told me how to reset the wireless connection for my Telus Optik boxes. Step 1: go to diagnostic tools screen on the telus optik tv box - enter 01209 - enter the diagnostics menu Step 2: Go to wifi and delete wifi connection Step 3: Unplug the box, turn it back on. Make sure its not hardwire plugged in and it will prompt you to set up your wifi connection Step 4: Press wps button on the closest Telus booster (router if you have no Telus Boosts), then press okay on remote Done. Your wireless connection will show as being full bars and your Telus TV that you pay for will work flawlessly again. I can't believe for 1 year Telus couldn't tell me to do this over the phone. Contacting Telus was of no help, they told me to reboot my internet, reboot all my boxes and nothing changed My tv was choppy if it even worked. They offered to send a Tech to my house but I have to pay for the Tech. Its quite funny when you pay almost $2400 a year for Telus services, they want you to pay to fix services just for you to have the right to keep paying them $2400 a year. smh. Does anyone else know any other Diagnostic screen settings I should tinker with?ShawSpy13 hours agoOrganizer1.7KViews0likes0CommentsFire tv Stick HD
