I have a contract with Telus from 2024. In early 2025 Telus reduced my services independently and when I called to complain Telus brought down my charges from April 2025. I was ok with that. Then in May and June 2025 my charges went back higher. I contacted Telus and an agent spoke with me and I could not understand him. I asked for another agent and he said he could not transfer. In any case my bill should not be where it is at since my services have been reduced.Customer Answer
Date: 27/06/2025
My contract included "Netflix Premium" (first document).
Telus went ahead to reduce my plan from "Premium" to Standard on its own. This should automatically bring down my monthly charges, but Telus continued to charge me at the contracted rates until I complained in April when they, being caught red-handed, reduced my monthly charges. Then in May and June (2nd document) my rates went up again.
Also, this boondoggle with discounts and additions in their billing is designed to confuse the public. This matter should also be brought up to higher authorities.
Thanks You.

We have upgraded our business to 3Gbs Intenet back on June 19. Right after it we started getting internet interruptions, and Telus is not able to find out what the reason is. We depend on reliable and consistent Internet access which is mandatory for our business operations. I don't understand why we are paying for a high speed fibre internet if:-- the speed is lower than it was supposed to be (right after the installation the speed was close to 700 mb, right now it is in ***** mbs range -- WORSE than with our previous internet plan)-- every day we have internet access interruptions which last very long, and Telus is not able to understand what the reason is. Technical support is impossible to reach, spend half an hour on the phone, just to get somebody to speak to. I demand an escalation and proper technology for which I am paying.Business Response

Telus *** sold me internet service door to door. I explained I need my internet to be useable by ethernet, not wifi, and where the computer is. He said no problem, technician will install as necessary.First technician (****) came, I told him where he's putting it is useless to me, I need it on the other side of the house. He said no problem, Telus technician will get it where it needs to be.Telus technician came to finish, told him the same thing, he said they don't do that and tried to sell me range extenders.Internet is totally useless to me. Have tried calling for 5 days. Get transferred and hung up on over and over. Filed complaint online. Said 1-2 business days to ***ly. It's been a week.There is literally no way to resolve it with them or even talk to someone without being transferred. They lie to get you to order then you're stuck.Business Response

On May 14, 2025 we had Telus Fibre Optic Internet installed. On the evening of May 14th I was unable to set my home alarm system. I logged on to the My Telus website and saw that my alarm monitoring account had been cancelled. I did not cancel my account nor was I notified that it was going to be cancelled. On May 15 I was told that they did not know why my account was cancelled. I was also told that they couldn't send anyone out to reactivate my account until May 28, 13 days from that date. I asked to speak to a supervisor and was promised that a supervisor would call me on May 15. No one called on May 15. A supervisor finally called me on May 16 and said that he would have the technical team call me in 1 to 2 days to reactivate my account. Again, no one called. On May 19th I received an email from Telus saying that my monitoring account had been reactivated. I called and spoke to ********* and she set up for a technician to come out on May 20th to confirm this. I got a call from the technician on May 20th and she said that she did not need to come to our home as our system had been reactivated. I have spent 5 hours and 8 minutes on the phone with Telus over 5 days trying to get my monitoring account ************** the meantime, my bill for my landline went up from $12.91 a month to over $44.00 a month. I had not requested or authorized any changes to my landline nor was I notified of any changes.On June 12 I received a bill for Home Alarm for $1008.00 because of a cancellation fee. I did not cancel this service nor did I authorize it. I called Telus billing department and they said they would credit the amount back to my account.I keep being told a Supervisor will call me but so far I haven't heard from Telus about this recent cancellation. I want to talk to someone in charge at Telus to find out why all this has happened and how they are going to keep it from happening again. I also want compensation for my time and frustration dealing with this issues.Business Response

Called Telus in April to set up my moving of services to my new condo. Agent was great and according to this ***** my monthly services was going down to $92 a month plus tax. Agent had issues confirming the move and plan price, so was transferred to second ***** who said he could only get it to $102 per month plus tax. Side note- first bill came in at $110, which does not seem to support the $102. In the meantime I had reached out to Telus own internal resolution process- first ***** from that customer support department called, however, the voicemail was so static filled and garbled, I could not understand it. Second ***** tried calling, message was a little better, but I was not given contact information to call them back.I therefore sent in a second complaint, and asked that someone not having to use a VOIP based line call me, as those phone calls werent ************* well, how do you only get two calls and then thats it for Telus. Seems like they dont even want to try and solve the issue. Reason for the BBB involvement- after my first bill came in, which seems to be quite high- I have never received a follow up to the second complaint about not using a VOIP line to call ***** of June 13- I feel this issue is still outstanding and has not been resolved by TelusBusiness Response

Complaint: 23466671
I am rejecting this response because:I have returned their calls on the following dates;
June 15- call came in at 1631, I returned it at 1635 MDT
June 16- call came in at 1340, I returned the call at 1359
I also called again, on June 17th.
Each call I followed the directions given to me, which takes me to an automatic voicemail system, with the message saying it is monitored Monday to Friday.
Due to my work schedule, I left days and times I could be reached. This was not returned or acknowledged at all.I then further received a voicemail back on Friday, June 20th- as you can see in the photo, it was stated that the agent would try me again the next day, which was Saturday, June 21. Not a single call came in.
I believe Telus has done this on purpose, to dismiss the issue and try to say that it’s MY fault I was not available.
I do not accept this and I expect the BBB to pursue this with me, and I want to go to arbitration over this.
