Internet Tech support

[JamesKodiak]

Is anyone else frustrated by the AI that Telus is using to route support requests. I have spent hours going through the same steps with a chatbot, on-line and then eventually with someone on a call. I have had calls to support dropped twice this morning trying to solve a problem with internet speed. The call screening voice assistant could not understand the response to its question. Not sure what exactly is going on but it's not good.

Agre  - he AI is totally useless.  I'm leaving Telus ASAP.  My home internet has cut out 3x in the past week leaving my wife unable to work from her remote office and costing her vacation time.  We've spent literally hours of frustration. It went out again for 2hrs today so I booked a call with them using the AI and when I got a call, the woman was only trying to upsell me more services. Told her I wasn't interested in any more services, that I booked a call back about an issue and she said ok we'll get that for you and the call was disconnected.

It used to be great but my 3rd call in and they don’t know how to fix it. When I ask for tier 2 support they won’t transfer you!

Totally agree.  I have been a Telus home phone/internet customer for

3 days and already totally frustrated at the customer service or complete lack of.   What a mess. Huge regret over switching from

previous carrier
