66 TopicsMis-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.19Views1like1CommentCan't login to Telus account on optik tv box
Hi, I set up a new service recently and I haven't been unable to login to my account using my email and password. I also cannot login to my TV either (using optik tv android box). I have logged in using the email a link method without any issues. I then reset my password and tried logging back in with my email and password but it doesn't work. Any idea what is going on? I haven't even able to access my tv services or telustvplus. I get the following error: Sorry, an error has occurred. Please try again later. I know the password is right because when I have reset the password (after logging into mytelus account using the email link) it says you cannot use the same password as last time.38Views0likes1CommentHow to Report Missing Episodes in Optik TV On Demand

We have multiple Telus Optik TV Android boxes (TelusTV-24S). We upgraded from the old Optik boxes. They all powered up and work just fine except we never get a "Who is watching?" screen where I can choose between the profiles. When it was first set up on the home page it shows a spot down the page to create them which we did but after selecting one, it goes back to the Home Screen. Each profile has a different profile pic. We cannot find any profiles. On the "Home" screen, I have a "Settings" tab, which has a "Gear" icon, but when clicked, this doesn't allow me to do anything with profiles. Under settings- device settings- accounts and profiles - has no accounts listed(we can only sign in to google there). The profile selection screen at telustvplus.com doesn’t show up either. We updated the software and did a couple of factory restarts to no avail. We have called telus customer support a couple of times with no help. The first time after getting the boxes a week ago and was told to wait a week and call back if it wasn’t fix as the boxes all weren’t on the account yet. The second time (yesterday) was told we have to have a google account signed in for profiles to work. (I told them I don’t want that because that’s not what I was talking about but have since tried signing in with a google account and that didn’t do anything). It seems to me the people I’ve talk to don’t understand what we mean even when both times have been with them on video while trying to explain. I’ve mentioned the telus webpage about the profiles (user-profiles-optik-tv) and was told it’s wrong and that can’t be done. In looking on this site, it seems the solution may be an account setup issue not a hardware issue but nobody with customer support seems to understand. Maybe someone here can help. Has something changed with the profiles and the webpage hasn’t been updated? Thanks181Views0likes2CommentsTree Trimming Guidelines for TELUS Cable Areas
Information about cables near power lines and safety guidelines for tree trimming. Property Owner Responsibilities Any trees located on private property are the sole responsibility of the homeowner, and we recommend reaching out to a professional arborist if necessary to handle any tree branch trimming near TELUS cables. For safety reasons, we advise to never trim near power lines. Note: Many TELUS cable strands are attached to portions of power-provided poles. If this is the case, please contact your power company to arrange for a tree-trimmer to be dispatched as electricity is involved. How to Identify Pole Ownership Check Google Maps: Switch to street view Drag view upward Look for power equipment You can also contact your city who may have their own trained arborists to deal with power poles. Otherwise, they will advise to contact the power company. When to Contact Each Authority Power Company: Poles with electrical equipment Shared utility poles Power line concerns City Services: Municipal tree management Permit requirements Public safety issues TELUS: Cable-only poles Service disruptions Infrastructure damage Note: Always prioritize safety and professional assessment when dealing with utilities.
