Really, prorated month? The Bill was supposed to be $80.00, how could $185 be just adding a prorated month?

One time charges such as activation fees, taxes on mobile phone subsidies, Optik TV hardware, installation fees, and proration can all factor in increasing your first bill. We have a helpful guide at https://www.telus.com/en/support/article/understanding-your-telus-bill under the "Why your first bill might be higher than expected" and "Understanding partial charges or credits" that can help walk you through some of these. Have you had a chance to review your detailed bill Gary?
Yes I have and it does not make sense. You continue to ignore the wait times to speak to someone!
