Six Months of Silence, Billing, and Zero Accountability from TELUS

TELUS Business has been an absolute nightmare from day one.
I pay for 1 gig business internet with WiFi. The WiFi didn't work and speeds rarely exceeded 300 Mbps. When I contacted TELUS technical support, I was told the connection looked fine on their end and that I would have to pay if I wanted a technician to investigate. Translation they took my money and made it my problem. First red flag.
At the end of June 2024, the home we were operating from was found to be infested with black mold and deemed uninhabitable. We were forced to move to a temporary location. I attempted to reconnect service, TELUS advised that no services were available at the new address. No fiber. No DSL. I requested cancellation.
I was routed to customer retention and spent over an hour dealing with a representative who was clearly not based in Canada and struggled to communicate in English. I have recordings of the calls. Nothing was resolved. I requested a supervisor and that never happened.
For the past six months, I have called repeatedly trying to get a supervisor callback. Each time I was promised a call in 24 to 48 business hours. Not once has anyone called. I continued paying the bill to avoid being sent to collections.
Now that I am finally at a location that does have fiber service, I cannot complete a simple change of address. No confirmation, no follow up. The online chat rarely works. The business portal fails every attempt. Phone support means hours on hold until you give up. I cannot reach a live agent, schedule an install, or get a straight answer.
TELUS expects me to either keep paying for services I could not use or pay a 2500 dollar contract buyout fee while refusing to return calls or discuss a documented situation. That is corporate hostage taking.
This is the worst company I have ever dealt with. Once I can cancel without penalty, I will never use TELUS again and will actively discourage others from doing so. If you value your time or your business, stay far away from TELUS.
