Telus Sucks - Digital TV, Phone Service, Internet etc |
| Body: |
Telus is without a doubt the sleaziest and most dishonest company I
have ever dealt with. They change the rates, services service charges
and reduce their quality of service rules to suit their shareholders
and CEO's shares.
Telus applied to the CRTC to increase its phone rates to its
customers. The CRTC determined that what Telus was doing was
increasing it's profits to its shareholders. The creative thinkers at
Telus decided to get what it wanted through service charges, which the
CRTC does not regulate. For some services the price tripled. Telus
also created additional service charges.
With regards to Internet services (which the CRTC does not regulate),
Telus changed their ADSL signal at their switching center, which
rendered the modem I bought useless. I had to pay for a new ADSL
modem. The Telus usenet news group service, does not carry as many
newsgroups as you would get from Bell. In particular, it does not
carry many of the newsgroups from Eastern Canada. It's feed is down
fifty percent of the time. As of mid April 2008, Telus no longer is
carrying the binaries feed in it's news group service. Instead they
refer you to a newsgroup service, which they own to get the service
that you used to get. In any contract, a company would be expected to
live up to those obligations. Not so with Telus.
As for the newsgroup service, Telus is playing the Blog Big Brother
(B3) with criticism regarding their company. They are filtering out
any comments with regards to their company. Gone are the days of
egalitarianism and free speech on the internet. It has become
controlled speech and propaganda by the owners of Blogs, the B3.
If you are thinking of getting Digital TV with Telus, I strongly
suggest that you think again. Telus is a dishonest company to deal
with. You can expect service charges on top of what you pay and
changes in pricing whenever Telus feels like stuffing the pockets of
it's CEO and board of directors.
