Hi Scott,
 
Been with Telus for ten years now.  Never had any trouble getting any info that I wanted from them, and they are so gracious on the phone.  They even let me keep my old plan in which I am charged by the second, rather than being rounded of to the minute.
 
They have laid off numbers, but so does any other company that is top heavy in the service dept.
 
Looks like that I am defending Telus, but they have given me great service, unlike Ma Bell, in which I have waited up to ten minutes then gave up trying to talk to someone.
 
Anyway, just another view point to round the issue up.
 
Was super to talk with you at Karen's.
 
Take care,
 
Ted

Subject: Don't buy Telus service

Hmm...Telus lays off 6500 workers, and now nobody can get through to their customer service. Wonder why they didn't see that coming?

TELUS CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS UP TENFOLD: In the first nine
months of 2003, the CRTC received 2,010 complaints from Telus
customers, compared to only 214 complaints in the same period
last year. The complaints refer mainly to repair intervals,
service installation, and difficulty in reaching the business
office.

** Telus has failed to meet CRTC Quality of Service
requirements for several quarters. Commission staff say
Telus has recently promised to bring service up to par "by
year-end."

** Last year, when Telus announced a plan to reduce staff by
6,500, the Telecommunications Workers Union warned that
the cuts would harm customer service.
