New to Canada, is my Telus bill justifiable?

Hi folks, just moved to Canada recently and I liked the sound of 5g+ so signed up for Telus on arrival. Judging by my plan & usage do you guys think this is justifiable on a month to month basis? I like the idea of all the perks but no point wasting money if I’m not going to use them.

Looking to upgrade my plan only.

Looking for a Telus Rep who can help me out. I want the 5g+ Complete Unlimited Explore plan. I have an EPP, but I want to see what kind of deal a rep can get me. They got me better pricing the last time than the EPP that my employer was offering. I have home services as well.

I am NOT a new customer, so I know some reps can't help out, so please only comment/message me if you can help!

Thanks!

Will the $10 discount disappear if I port out my mobility line or cancel it altogether?

Recently got Telus PureFibre 500 internet for $80 a month in British Columbia. With the Pre-Authorized Payment discount of $10 and being a previous mobility customer for over 3 years, I got another $10 off as a Mobile and Home discount.

I started a new job and my IT department at work gave me a brand new iPhone 17 with a Telus Corporate Phone number registered under my company’s account.

The IT department has given me the option to port my number over to them so I don’t have to pay for a phone plan as they cover the payments on the iPhone and the Telus phone plan they provide. The only caveat being its not under my name unless I ask my IT department to port my number out when I decide to leave the company.

So if I port my number over, or cancel my personal line altogether, will that home services discount disappear?

I pay for home wifi myself and tbh I am leaning more towards cancelling my personal line, keeping the phone number provided by my company since its a VIP number, easy to remember and only composed of 4 digits that repeat in pairs.

Please guide how I should approach this…

My mom just signed a new contract for telus phone, cable and internet a week ago. Is it possible to get out of it?

There was a death in the household and she has to move. Any chance telus would give her a break, just signing it last week?

Any specific retention numbers she should call? Appreciate any help

How much are you paying for home internet?

Curious what everyone is currently paying for home internet.

I just renewed my Telus internet contract (500 Mbps) for 2 years for $65/year. This is with the Telus Mobility discount wich means if I ever move my phone plan away from Telus/Koodo, the price of my internet goes up by $10. They are also giving me $200 credit for locking in for 2 years.

Is this legit or a scam?

I received a call yesterday from somebody claiming to be a Telus representative. I recently switched to Telus internet and as a new Telus customer they offered me a deal on a Telus mobile plan. I heard the plan and agreed. They then requested my drivers license number, expiry date, and date of birth to run a credit check (this was the information asked of me when I ordered my internet, so I didn't think twice). They said I would receive my new SIM in the mail.

Anyway, I received a confirmation email from "activation.no.reply.tm@telus.com", which sort of set off alarms in my head. So, I am just curious if I am just overthinking here--was this a scam?

Issue with smart home diagnostic charge.

Had internet and smart home security installed in January 2026 and had no issues until about 3 weeks ago my panel disconnected from the network overnight on about 5 different occasions that I know of. I called telus tech support and went over troubleshooting and they did a diagnostic on the panel over the phone and found 16 error codes. A technician was dispatched. I was told on the phone that if it was found the be my fault, it would be a 200$ charge and if it wasn't, it would be free. I have not touched or moved anything since the install, just used it and paid the bill.

Tech comes and does his work and just leaves without telling me what he did. He was the same tech who originally installed it. Telus hit me with the 200$ charge and I am not happy about that. How can it be my fault? Hes the one who installed it so if he says its my fault, he's obviously not very confident in his initial install.

The panel still keeps disconnecting from the network after he left anyway. I am going to call telus tomorrow and hopefully they'll take it off my bill but if they don't im out... if my system is losing connection the monitoring center should be calling me because if its disconnected itself from the network, its not communicating with monitoring which I do not like. Will update after I call tomorrow.

Moved to a new place and the place already comes with Internet (included in rent). Is cancellation the only way out. Have to pay $180 each for Internet and Optik TV since a year is left on the agreement.

As the title suggests just wanted to know If I am able to transfer this plan to someone or cancellation is the only option I have. I am paying $73 tax included for pure fibre unlimited internet and Optik TV.

Bypass Telus ONT with SFP

I have a Nokia G-010S-A and I can successfully authenticate with O5 State. But I am not able to get an IP address. Is Telus using any kind of VLAN or something else.

Is this really Unlimited data?

Hi I got Telus Unlimited explore plan which covers 68 country roaming and 50gb hotspot/month. Whenever I check my Telus app it shows 50gb and count my data from that 50gb. If it's really Unlimited then why it only shows 50GB?? Note: im only using data on my phone not sharing/hotspot. Thanks

CIB and TELUS partner to expand fibre broadband to 17,000 B.C. households

🛜 B.C. is getting a major rural broadband expansion

The Canada Infrastructure Bank and partners are committing $379 million to expand broadband access in British Columbia.

As part of the agreement, the CIB will provide a $49.3 million loan to TELUS to help deploy fibre-to-the-home internet in underserved rural and Indigenous communities.

The project is expected to bring high-speed internet access to more than 17,000 households, including approximately 380 Indigenous households.

This is not a flashy phone-plan deal. It is the other side of Canada’s connectivity problem: basic access.

For rural households, better broadband can affect work, school, healthcare, business, emergency communication and whether a community can fully participate in the digital economy.

Ok external setup?

We had a (non-telus) service guy here for an unrelated job, and he pointed at our fibre op setup and was like "yikes -- these components are not rated for outdoor use!" He specifically said the thin white wire and the little white box are rated for indoor use only.

I don't know shit about anything, so I contacted Telus support. Telus said they won't look at photos but that I can pay $200 for a tech to come look at it, but I'd rather avoid that if I can.

Any help or insight is greatly appreciated!

Is “Internet for good” plan 50mb good enough for one person?

Looking at getting the heavily discounted internet plan for my mom and I’m curious to know if the 50mb plan is enough for streaming etc for her. It’s only her, and she’s got her tv and laptop. At most she would likely stream Netflix or something on the tv and play a small game on her computer. Other than that she has her phone and iPad but doesn’t use all at once. If 50 isn’t very good she will go with the 35$ plan.

Can anyone tell me anything about this service? We’re in BC for reference. Thank you!

Win back

So my wife had a call from the win back team a few weeks ago. Today I decide to give them a call. So they offered me 2 different plans both worse than what I originally had with Telus. I told the guy have a good day and hung up on him. Has anyone got a winback with a rate higher than your previous plan before you left Telus?
