Telus: problems and outages in real time

The Canadian telecommunications company Telus was founded in Edmonton, Alberta, in 1993 by the government of Alberta as Telus Communications, to privatize the Alberta Government Telephones Commission. At that time, they supplied most of the telephone service outside of Edmonton.

They offer a wide variety of services, such as internet, voice, healthcare, and IPTV television. In 1995, they bought the Edmonton Telephone Corporation, which was the majority provider of telephone service for the city of Edmonton. This move made Telus the only provider of telephone service in Alberta. In 1996, the public was introduced to Telus as its consumer brand, replacing both of its competitors. The British Columbia Technology Industry Association counts Telus as a member. The current CEO is Darren Entwistle.

Between 2000 and 2019, Telus rolled out its next-generation fiber-optic network. This investment was more than C$51 billion in B.C. alone. In October 2019, Telus bought home security provider ADT Inc’s operations in Canada for C$700 million.

Telus has an international segment called, appropriately called Telus International. This faction of the company provides businesses with a global contact center and processes outsourcing services to financial services, consumer energy and utilities, and consumer-grade electronics and gaming.

In 2008, Telus was awarded by Mediacorp Canada Inc. as one of British Columbia’s Top Employers. The Vancouver Sun, The Province, and the Victoria Times-Colonist reported this.

  1. Cell service in Hay Lakes and area has been very poor for the last several months. Telus says a tower is down, and they’re not sure IF they’re going to fix it! They’ve advised several neighbours to switch providers! This is unacceptable!

  4. We have had no cell service from Telus since the morning of Dec 31st 2021,it is now 12th Jan 2022. We are 10 miles south of Kaslo. We have no other phone! Telus say they are aware & are working on it,but no estimated time of restoration. I have to travel 10 miles before getting cell service. To say this is inconvenient is an understatement! My neighbours who are using different servers have not been without signal.

  5. I purchased a new cell phone from your store here in Lethbridge AB. The staff there were unable to get my e-mails set up for this phone. Also my HP computer has lost my access to my e-mails also after I had down loaded an update that was sent to me. Is it possible the update messed my e-mails up??
