4 TopicsBusiness Line Support Process Frustrations
I've seen through the forums that many of us have the same problem. 1 - We experience an issue with our telus business line so we go to the technical support page. We spend time to explain our problem and then submit the ticket, we then experience the first problem. It also wipes our forms so if we didn't save our information, we lose it all. 2 - We go to the chat to explain our problem to the AI. The AI is confused and doesn't understand the issue, when we also explain that the problem is we can't log a support ticket. It gets more confused. 3 - We finally admit to ourselves we have to call the Telus Business Support Line. We experience the AI problem again, in circles it goes - if it mishears you - it goes on a tangent about changing plans. You need to call back, speak with purpose and when it understands you need technical support - it begins its troubleshooting. NOW thats a nightmare. Especially if you're a engineer. 4 - The final boss. You get put into the Telus support queue finally. The IVR then lets you know, there is over an hour to wait. No option for callbacks, just wait and then sprinkled within the IVR is letting you know about upgrades. If I knew this was the level of support I would be getting on a business line. I would have just opted for a consumer line, I truly regret the decision to move to Telus 3 years ago and when the contract comes up for renewal - I'll be moving unless something changes.58Views1like2CommentsHow To setup my Wifi Boosters to broadcast only 1 network
I live in Toronto. I have 100MB home internet from Koodo. I also have Telus Smart Home Security. My WAN modem is Sercom Modem DM1000. It connects to a B21A WiFi Booster from Telus. This device is defaulted to broadcast 1 network ID (SSID). I have 2 additional (DWS) booster (Range Extenders\) from Telus Smart Home Team. These devices have their own network that’s different from the main B21A booster. Instead of having multiple networks broadcasting, I want all these devices connected to same one network that will also work with my Smart Home Equipment. I’ve got conflicting information from the support team about what these boosters are capable of …. I was told I couldn’t connect any devices to these B21A boosters, except for Security devices. Then, I was advised I could add additional devices, however everything needs to be connected to the factory default settings. After I set everything to default, and it still didn’t work, I was advised that is my ISP that blocking it. Since we live in Ontario, and need to use Koodo, it’s not possible after all. Then I was told it’s the Sercom modem that’s not capable for what I want, and other models could do it, but they couldn’t say which ones. It's been frustrating experience and could really use some guidance. Thanks!!1.7KViews0likes2CommentsHorrible experience with Business Connect sign up
I have to vent about the god awful experience I have had signing up for Telus Business Connect service. I wish I had not done it and to be honest, I am still not sure if I have actually signed up. I have a Telus copper line that I wanted to take to my new location. The sales rep sold me on the Business Connect phone service. Sure, I said, sign me up. I went back and forth, picked out the VOIP phone I wanted and signed the contract. 3 weeks later, I have only received 1 of my 5 ordered phones. They told me that someone from Concierge team will reach out to assist with the setup. Never heard from anyone. My official move date is in 4 days and by now, I have been on the phone with half their telephone reps and I am told "you might get your phones in 3-5 days". Great, I thought. Then, I asked about porting my old Telus phone. Now, at the 11th hour, they tell me "its going to take another 7 days". I am already leaving my old location in 3 days and am about to be without a phone line for 5 days. How can any business hope to run on this Business Connect? Maybe if the hope is to go belly up, then business connect service sounds great. Would never recommend Telus to any colleagues.3.2KViews1like1CommentTELUS Business Connect Hack
Did anyone else admin account for Business Connect get hack. I got email alert at July 19th 2022 1:30am that the admin account password and PIN got changed. I was locked out but I was able to reset my password. Changed my PIN, found in my security log the the admin account login in single attempt in the morning no signs of a brute for attack. my security question was change at the same time. but the log didn't show the password change or PIN change. I find this odd the password for the account , pin and security question is all unique using password manager with 20 characters random. As well all the cisco desk phone are not connecting to Business Connect but my one polycom is connected.Solved7.6KViews0likes2Comments
