Hi, I just noticed my account includes charges for an Optik TV subscription, although I never subscribed for it, only internet. I do have a TV box that was given during the internet installation but I recall the installer explaining it came with PureFibre / was included, hence I kept the box. I do not own a TV so I have never used nor opened the TV box, so I was surprised to see separate charges on my account for Optik TV for months now. Is anyone familiar with the steps for cancellation and if possible, refund of the unused service. Thank you!Solved25Views0likes1CommentInternet services are ridiculously expensive
When can I change to a cheaper plan while I am still within a two-year plan? Can I opt out of an existing plan and request a cheaper plan? I have found the speed of the newer plans mirrors what I currently have, but my payments per month would save $40, which is a lot when looking at rising expenses.Solved50Views0likes1CommentTrying to cancel, Telus makes it near IMPOSSIBLE, why?
Is being unethical like this really worth the hassle it leads to? This only results in CRTC complaints... Have been trying to get in contact with anyone from telus and it is a big loop online with the ai chatbot trying to set up a callback which fails, no email to contact, only number i can call refer me back to the ai chatbot. I Just want to cancel a dead persons account and even though it is NOT on contract, u keep charging me new fees even though service has been unusued for more than 3 months. How do u EASILY and without HASSLE just CANCEL.153Views1like27CommentsFibre Optic
We have had the Fibre Optic brought into our condo building, the wire runs to each condo above the door. My question is why do we have to have wires running all around each condo to each TV? I would like to go with the fibre optic but I don't like the way neighbor's have had wires running around the walls across the stucco popcorn ceilings and ruining the look of the home. Why cant something be fitted where my modem is now just inside the door and then use Wi fi for everything?80Views0likes2CommentsContact Info BC
Hello, Can anyone please help me with contact info in British Columbia for customer service? Since October, we’ve dealt with horrible experiences with unknowledgeable customer service agents that have continuously increased the bills, including adding services NOT requested. This is an account for an elderly home bound 90 yr old senior with hearing impairment and very very little tech experience. Please help. Thank you.31Views0likes1CommentNaturescape not working
I am still on the original optik tv. Stingray Naturescape (channel 727 for me) hasn’t been working properly for a couple of days now. Lots of freezing and pixelation, even freezing with the background music/sounds. I’ve rebooted all equipment, issue unchanged. No other channels are having this issue.Solved42Views0likes2CommentsHow to deal with outside broken wires and very simple people working for telus?
Had a technician install new telus internet at the beginning of december. Technician had run to and fro between the house and the street pedestal, and determined that the wiring up on the electrical poles was broken somewhere. Two and half months later, another technician technician came, drove to and fro between the house and the street pedestal (is is more than 100m), climbed few poles, and determined that the wires between the house and the telus street box are broken. I asked him to wire in the modem anyway, so when next technician comes with a spool of wire, they do not have to enter the house, all they need is to run the wire between the box on the outside wall and their street pedestal. Astonishingly, I received a message that the service is now up. Tried to communicate with their AI assistant, asking for live agent. AI assistant failed. Got an email, supposedly from live person, who suggested that I unplug and plug in the modem. Did the movie "Idiocracy", https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387808/ get its inspiration from how telus functions? Anybody here has an email for someone high up on the telus chain of command who understand the phrase "wires are broken" and can do something about it?100Views0likes4CommentsAnnoyed of receiving invoices for service account that does not exist.

Hi! I’ve tried calling customer support but get nowhere with this. I currently have Telus home services (phone,internet) to my house. We have built a new Laneway home on the same property. The city requires we run a new Telus service to the Laneway home underground, and also take the older main homes service from overhead and also place underground. Who do I contact to begin this process on Telus’s end? thank you!92Views0likes4CommentsVideo Playback Speed
Dear TELUS Product & Customer Experience Team, I am writing to formally request the addition of adjustable playback speed (e.g., 1.25×, 1.5×, 2×) for TELUS On Demand content and recorded programming on the TELUS TV+ Android TV platform. Playback speed control is now a standard feature across most modern streaming platforms and digital media applications. Many customers, including myself, have become accustomed to watching content at increased speeds for reasons including time efficiency, focus optimization, and accessibility. For individuals with ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions, the ability to adjust playback speed is not simply a convenience — it meaningfully improves engagement and comprehension. Currently, TELUS TV+ does not offer this capability, which creates an inconsistent experience compared to other digital platforms. I believe introducing playback speed control would: • Improve accessibility and inclusivity • Modernize the TELUS TV+ platform • Increase customer satisfaction and retention • Align TELUS with evolving industry standards This feature does not alter content ownership or licensing; it simply provides user-side playback flexibility that is already widely implemented elsewhere. I strongly encourage TELUS to consider adding playback speed options within the player interface for On Demand and recorded content. Thank you for your consideration. I look forward to seeing continued innovation on the TELUS TV+ platform. Sincerely,45Views0likes1Comment
