Fiber migration: Long-distance plan removed and $25 monthly increase
We’ve been moved to fibre, a forced move since we were happy with copper and our agreements and bills till last October. Everything needs to be updated and we agreed, even if it was so difficult, to do the update. Old house, lots of issues. Since last week most of the issues have been resolved. A technician still needs to come to move the Optic TV service. Nonetheless, we are still receiving email and menacing letters, even registered letters to move before they cut the copper. It doesn’t depend on us. It depends on the availability of the technician , and we have to wait till mid May. I called the support and told to stop sending those email and letters because we had three-quarter of our services moved already and it’s up to them to finish the job, not to us, but they said they cannot do anything to stop it till it’s fully completed. Plus they moved our phone line to fibre as well but doing that Telus as removed and changed our service. Before we had a long distance plan that was convenient for us now they eliminated the long-distance plan and they want us to pay $25 more On the back of the letters sent to us, it’s clearly written that the costs and the services we have will not be changed and we will not be directly impacted by this migration. I already called the support three times but each time they have a new excuse. The first one was we cannot do anything now, till the phone has been moved to fibre. then, you need to call the loyalty department , where they could not care less of our issue and the last one was: “OK we can put you back on copper to give you the same service you had.” BS: we can’t go back to copper thanks to Telus forcing us to move to fibre because they are removing the copper in our area, so they wrote and told us. It’s really frustrating to have to deal with this wall of incompetence. Where could we have our rights taken seriously?
Telus Internet cancellation nightmare: still no resolution!
I’m posting another update here because, true to form, Telus has dropped the ball yet again. I was assured that Cammy, a manager at Telus, would reach out to me directly on April 1st to finally get my service disconnected properly and arrange the return shipping for the equipment. Well, April 1st has come and gone, and big surprise—absolutely zero follow-up or phone call. I am completely fed up with how difficult and exhausting it has been just to close out this account. First, a loyalty agent cancels my service without my authorization. Then, I am told I have to pay over $200 in early termination fees for moving to an area where Telus can't even provide service - completely contradicting what the sales rep told me when I signed up. And now, management cannot even be bothered to call me back when they specifically schedule a time to do so. Can a forum moderator or someone with actual authority please step in and deal with this? I am tired of being passed around, lied to, and ignored. I just want this nightmare over with. What do I actually have to do to get some real customer service here?
PSA to everyone having tech difficulties
Please dont waste your time waiting for a callback or sit on hold for an hour to speak to someone. If you're experiencing constant audio and channel problems. Just follow these simple steps: Restart your wifi and TV box once a month. This will save you a headache trust me (dont trust me). Call them and speak to the manager
How to install my Ubiquiti gateway into my Telus fiber home network?
Hey guys, I want to move away from Telus' equipment and install my Ubiquiti UCG-Fiber and U7 Lite access points. I currently have fiber internet, Optik TV with legacy equipment, and a home phone. In the network panel, I have a Telus-supplied NAH, WiFi booster 6E, and some splitters. What is the purpose of the MoCA port on the NAH? I have no idea why there are multiple splitters installed and with RG-6 cables on them. I want to clean and tidy up the network panel as it's a total mess. Is it possible to remove the NAH and plug the ONT, legacy TV equipment, and home phone to my UCG-Fiber? I know the internet works if I connect the ONT directly to the UCG-Fiber's WAN port. If not, is the best case scenario to leave the home phone and legacy Optik equipment with the NAH, and then bridge one of the LAN ports and connect that to the UCG-Fiber? Not sure what a NAT and double NAT are, but will this problem occur with this setup? I have no interest or desire to install Rogers' Internet service. For my security, is there a way to unplug Rogers' equipment from my house, or if it's a condo? I'm contemplating installing MoCA adapters. Looking for advice on how to best optimize my new home network/topology. Thank you!
How 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?
Poor Routings to game servers
I’ve been a long time customer at Telus for about 6 to 7 years and possibly experienced 3 or 4 outages since but every time I play Valorant or apex legends the routings to those games are horrendous sometimes I won’t even send the required packets for the server to give me enough updates and it’s not even just Valorant I used a software on my computer called pingplotter which measures packet loss and hops in your network routing and to Apex Valorant Marvel rivals CoD and so many other games but CSGO my graph was green and i was lagging if you want test the same thing download ping plotter set your trace interval to 1 and Focus time to 5 and ping 192.207.0.1 and let me know how your graph looks
ipv6 with DoT through controld
I have a Asus ROG GT-AXE 16000 router running merlin firmware , I set the telus gateway to bridge mode to my router and then set up DNS over TLS with controld . Everything works fine and the status page says ipv4 and ipv6 are both working. After about 2 hours or so the ipv6 says N/A . As soon as I change any setting like native to passthough and then back to native it works again. Even if I just change stateful and stateless or anything it will start working again for about 2 hours. I then enabled DDNS with asus and it work but still 2 hours later says N/A again on the status page. Can anyone help?!?!2months, 9 service techs and no fibre installed, need help! (Vancouver)
I live in a duplex and when they initially installed fibre on my attached neighbours side they didn't splice it at the junction box, it was directly pulled into the house. As indicated by empty Telus junction box. My theory is that it's making their system say that I already have existing line that could be tapped into. After the first tech inspection, a service request was sent out for an aerial drop team and wire pull on my side as I didn't get permission to splice their line. After the second time they sent the ground service tech again, after the 3rd -8th time I called in every time to customer service and technical team to make sure they could send a aerial drop team and not a regular person. But they just keep rescheduling the wrong person for the job or it keeps getting delayed. I had to have taken so much time off work this is getting ridiculous. I'm giving this one more shot as I called again yesterday after they sent the wrong guy. The customer service rep said they needed to recreate the order, so they can order (I have done that once already) the drop team, and what he explained is that every time I called in the customer service reps were just rescheduling it for the ground workers. They also told me that they would call me back when there's a drop team available 7-14 days wait again. Now I'm just waiting for a call back with no appointments. I don't want to escalate this to the ccts as I want to give Telus an opportunity to make things right. I signed up for Telus on November 15th and it's now January 11th.
