Complaint Regarding Ads Added to Included Stingray Music Service
I am writing to formally complain about the recent change to the Stingray Music service that is included with my TELUS Internet and TV subscription. Stingray Music has long been advertised by TELUS as an included, value-added service. I was therefore extremely disappointed to discover that Stingray has now introduced advertising into its mobile app and is charging an additional $3.99 per month plus tax to remove those ads. In effect, a service that TELUS promotes as “included” has been downgraded unless customers agree to pay an extra recurring fee. This is not an enhancement, it is a reduction in service quality. TELUS customers are now being asked to pay more simply to maintain the experience that previously came standard. That is unacceptable and reflects poorly on TELUS, regardless of whether the decision originated with Stingray or a third-party partner. As the company bundling and promoting this service, TELUS bears responsibility for ensuring that included offerings retain their advertised value. Allowing a partner to insert ads and upsell customers undermines trust and creates the impression that TELUS is complicit in a bait-and-switch approach to bundled services. I expect TELUS to address this issue directly, either by ensuring ad-free Stingray access remains included for TELUS subscribers or by clearly disclosing that the service is no longer fully included. Customers should not be penalized with additional fees to restore functionality that was already paid for through their subscription. I would appreciate a clear response outlining TELUS’s position on this matter and what steps, if any, are being taken to protect customers from further erosion of included services.

Mis-selling and Poor Customer Experience
I am writing to raise a formal complaint about the mis-selling of your mobile and home internet services. On 27 Nov, I received a call from your advisor Farheen, who offered a mobile promotion and clearly said it was a Telus offer. She also discussed a home internet bundle and told me she would call back on 28 Nov to complete the setup. I never received any callback. To my shock, I later received an email and SIM card from Koodo, even though I was never informed that the service would be through Koodo. I opened the package assuming it was from Telus, as discussed. Additionally, the home internet plan given is not the same as what was explained on the call. The call on 27 Nov lasted 1.5 hours, and on 3 Dec I spent over 2 hours being transferred between departments without any clear help. This entire experience has been extremely frustrating and stressful. I trusted Telus, and this experience has severely damaged my confidence in your customer service.

Don't Recommend Telus: Overcharging Without Notification
I had a really bad experience with Telus and honestly, I can't recommend them. My home internet plan was supposed to be $55 a month. However, when the plan ended, I never got any notification by email, text, or anything else. The service just kept going, and to my surprise, I was charged $280 for just one month!! I'm really upset with how Telus handled this. The lack of communication and the unexpected charges are totally unacceptable.

Complaint Regarding Customer Service Experience and Billing Issues
Dear Telus Management, I am writing to express my deep dissatisfaction with the customer service I received while attempting to clarify the details of my new contract and discounts. My recent experience has left me feeling frustrated, undervalued, and concerned about your team's overall quality of support. Summary of Issues: • I was bounced between multiple agents, my calls were disconnected, and I received inconsistent information regarding my contract and discounts. • I initially renewed my contract after speaking with an agent named Abdul, who gave me a deal that I accepted, although it couldn’t match an offer from Rogers. However, after reviewing the contract, I noticed it didn’t reflect the discounts or plan details discussed, such as the 500GB of data and additional discounts for pre-authorized payments. • When I called to clarify, Eunice from the BCX Wireless Car team told me that the discounts had been applied. However, she copied and pasted Abdul’s notes, which did not clarify the discount details. Additionally, I was disconnected multiple times when trying to speak with support and even left on hold with no resolution. • A friend who is also a Telus customer showed me his plan details, and he is receiving a similar plan for significantly less without needing to purchase devices, which contradicts what Abdul told me. • I spoke to multiple agents, including Maria and Regal, who could not provide clarity or escalate my case as requested. I was finally given case number 21911243 and told that a manager would call me back within two hours, which did not happen. Instead, I was informed that I needed to wait 24 hours. • In my conversation with Juan from the loyalty team, I was falsely accused of being discriminatory when I referenced another department, which was highly offensive and uncalled for. Juan later apologized, saying that the experience was utterly unacceptable. • At this point, I feel I am being misled and mistreated. Despite multiple calls and escalations, I still do not have clarity on my discounts or a fair resolution to my concerns. I left Rogers to come to Telus because I believed in the promise of better service and fair treatment, but this experience has been anything but. If my concerns are not addressed, I will be forced to escalate this further, including to the Office of the President, the media, and the Better Business Bureau. My Request: I am requesting a clear breakdown of my contract, including all applicable discounts, and a fair resolution to the issues I’ve experienced. Additionally, I ask that someone review the call recordings to understand the poor treatment I received from various agents. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to a prompt and satisfactory resolution. Sincerely, Benold [Mod Edit: Removed Last Name] Telus Customer

Advice on how to fix Optik TV signal
My optik TV keeps pixelating or artifacting, and I am running out of ideas on what to do. I have detailed what I have done, and more details below. Attached is also a youtube link showing the glitching in effect Glitching Video: https://youtu.be/swjphcPBAhA This is our current optik tv setup: Here is a list of what we have done for troubleshooting: 1. Contacted Telus Support, who fixed "multiple errors" with the first box. The issue went away for a few days, and then returned. 2. Got the first box replaced, which now is replaced with the VIP5602W box 3. Tested 3 different HDMI cables 4. Tested different HDMI ports 5. Restarted the boxes 6. Tested different channels Furthermore, the TV itself is a smart TV, and all content on it is displayed normally. The TV is also connected to an Xbox, which displays all of its information correctly Both the TV and the Box are over wireless because we do not have an ethernet port there It will do cycles of working for a little bit (<10 minutes) and then glitching (also around 10 minutes) On some days it works normally but those are few and far between We have a second cable box in the upstairs master bedroom, and it works normally. PVR recordings look fine. Thanks.

Wi-Fi Assist
Wi-Fi Assist Wi-Fi Assist is a feature that optimizes the handoff between a Wi-Fi network and your carrier's cellular data network. In the past, when your device left the effective range of a Wi-Fi network, it would try to maintain connection to that network as long as it could, even when the network's signal became too weak to be effective. Then, you'd have two choices: either turn Wi-Fi off or wait until your device was completely out of range and it would switch over to the cellular data network. How does Wi-Fi Assist work? Wi-Fi Assist regularly checks your device's Wi-Fi connection to determine signal strength. If the Wi-Fi signal performance drops, Wi-Fi Assist automatically switches to a cellular data connection until the Wi-Fi signal improves. By doing so, the handoff between your Wi-Fi and cellular data connections would be automatic and smooth. How can Wi-Fi Assist impact me? As this feature may increase the amount of time spent on the cellular data network, there is potential for higher data usage, and the Wi-Fi signal may disconnect more frequently if your device's Wi-Fi connection drops below a specific strength. How to turn Wi-Fi Assist ON or OFF Wi-Fi Assist is usually turned on by default. Once enabled, it operates in the background automatically. You can turn it on or off anytime by following these steps: Apple/iOS 1. Tap Settings. 2. Tap Cellular. 3. Scroll down to find the Wi-Fi Assist toggle. 4. Tap to turn the feature ON or OFF. Android 1. Go to your Start screen and swipe up or down to open the menu. 2. Tap Settings. 3. Tap Connections. 4. Tap Wi-Fi. 5. Tap to enable Wi-Fi. 6. Choose the Options symbol and select Advanced. 7. Tap to disable Switch to mobile data. Important Notes Wi-Fi Assist does not activate for some third-party apps that might use large amounts of data. For example, apps with audio or video streaming functionality, or email apps with features such as attachment downloads. If you are data roaming outside of Canada, Wi-Fi Assist will not automatically switch to a cellular data connection.
