Telus has destroyed my driveway to pull fibre into the neighborhood. I am the end of the pull and they left a coil of fibre burried in the driveway. They never contacted us at any time about this. They won't pull the fibre to my home because I am not a phone or cable customer with them, but I have home security with them. I called Telus twice and neither tech had any idea about the services being installed in my neighborhood. In fact one said they have no record of them being in my neighborhood. The workers here say get the fibre pulled to your home or it could cost $1000 later when we left the area. The Telus tech confirmed this and suggested I find the supervisor in the subdivision and speak with him. There are so many crews here I would have no inclination where to start.
Since the techs had no information within Telus, was that the plan to start with. Tell no body anything and perhaps they will go away, or is Telus really that clueless they don't know what they are doing. There is no person to speak with specifically on this issue, as I did asked.
The crews have been here for weeks and destroy the grass and concrete and leave concrete chunks on the street. They had trouble coring the 14 inch hole in my driveway because of all the rebar in it, as the worker stated. Now Telus wants to fill it with no rebar in the concrete.
These are only but a few reasons I find Telus unscrupulous.
Still looking for answers!!!!

5 years agoUsually this task is contracted to a specialist company, which is why the Telus staff would have no knowledge of the installation. Your best place to start would be with the site supervisor you already spoke with, and ask how you can escalate your concerns, however, remember, the 6 feet from the curb usually is owned by the municipality, and hosts a number of services, which may be dug up at any time.
