Some ex Telus, Koodo customers receive $45/25GB win-back offer

On October 18th, I got an email from Telus flanker brand Koodo saying they wanted me back and that I could expect a call from the wireless provider. Well, last night, I finally got the call with a surprisingly good offer: $45/mo for 25GB of data.

To put that in perspective, Telus typically charges $85/mo for a 25GB plan. $40 off is a significant discount. Moreover, the win-back plan Telus offered me was practically identical to the company’s $85 plan, including data speeds up to 250Mbps and unlimited usage beyond the 25GB cap with speeds throttled to 512Kbps, unlimited Canada-wide calling and texting, voicemail features, and more. Telus also offered to waive the $50 connection fee. It includes access to 5G data.

While it’s not clear how many Canadians might get this offer, when speaking with the Telus rep, I could overhear other reps in the background talking to people and offering the same plan.

A section of my Telus service agreement showing the plan details.

For some added context, I’ve never been a Telus customer, but I have been with Koodo multiple times. I briefly switched to Bell a few years ago to take advantage of an employee discount available to me at the time. Shortly after joining MobileSyrup in 2018, I switched back to Koodo. In 2021, Bell sent me a letter with a SIM card and offered a $55/mo 20GB plan with 5G (although roughly a year later, Bell upped the price by $3/mo). Naturally, I took it, but Koodo and Telus have been trying to get me back ever since, even going as far as paying me $20 to get on a Zoom call and tell them why I left.

As good a deal as this $45/25GB win-back offer is, it’s not unheard of. Rogers, for example, has previously offered $45/25GB win-back deals. Telus has also reached out to customers with special deals before, most notably MobileSyrup’s own Patrick O’Rourke, who received a letter and SIM card from Telus in an attempt to get him to switch from Koodo.

Ultimately, if you’ve been a Telus or Koodo customer, keep an eye out for phone calls from the company offering special deals. Your wallet might thank you. And if you’re with Telus or Koodo right now, maybe it’s time to think about switching providers for a bit — maybe you’ll get lucky with a win-back offer.

Telus attempted to sway Rogers-Shaw merger, internal documents show

Vancouver-based telecom giant Telus made attempts to alter the $26 billion merger between Rogers and Shaw, internal documents show.

The efforts were initially presented to Telus’s board under the name ‘Project Fox,’ and were shared during the Competition Tribunal’s hearing into the matter.

“Continued execution of our top-of-house strategy where ELT meets with political leaders to kill, shape and slow the deal,” the presentation reads.

ELT refers to the executive leadership team. Persuasion attempts included discussions with Innovation, Science and Economic Development Canada (ISED) to block Québecor’s acquisition of Freedom Mobile.

The board meeting took place in August 2022, and the slides were initially kept from public view. After redactions, the document became available for the public to see, in an attempt to make the hearing transparent.

In its second week, the first week primarily consisted of questioning witnesses away from the view of the public, creating issues of transparency. Chief Justice Crampton started Monday’s session by addressing the issue and the need to keep matters public.

Where does Canada rank in the global esports scene?

I knew that esports had hit the mainstream when my parents—both in their 60s—asked me what the Overwatch League was. Esports have gone from a niche interest to a worldwide phenomenon. It’s only a matter of time until they surpass traditional sports in terms of viewership.

Back in the days when Starcraft was the most popular esport in the world, nearly all of the top players were from South Korea. With the rise of new titles across multiple genres, that has changed. The player base has diversified, and now players from all over the world are competing for the international title, including many Canadians.

We’re starting to see major changes domestically to the perception and popularity of esports. With proper support for players and the industry, Canada could one day become an esports powerhouse. And thanks to tournaments like the TELUS Esports Series 2, that day could be closer than we think.

The global esports race

While professional esports players are paid a salary, a large portion of their income comes from their winnings at tournaments. By looking at the winnings of players from around the globe, we can get an idea of how each country ranks in the global esports scene.

According to the latest report from gambling.com, the top-earning country in the world is the United States with over $138 million in winnings. China and South Korea came second and third, earning $135 million and $101 million, respectively.

By comparison, Canadians have earned roughly $27 million, placing them eighth globally. Considering Canada’s recent adoption of esports, this is a respectable ranking. But there’s plenty of room to grow.

To create a sustainable future for esports players and healthy gaming habits for Canadian gamers, support from organizations will be essential. We’re on the precipice of becoming a top player in the international rankings, but Canada is also well positioned to become a leader in the space as a voice for accessibility and inclusivity.

TELUS is helping lead the charge for the future of esports in Canada. They’re giving gamers of all skill levels the opportunity to take part in tournaments. Whether you’re a competitive gamer looking to challenge the best players in the country, or a casual player just looking to have fun playing a game that you love, TELUS is making esports accessible for everyone.

The future of esports in Canada

With the esports industry projected to grow more than 10 percent over the next two years, now’s the time for Canadians to get involved in esports.

Canada is well known for its grassroots approach to sports. You just need to take one look at hockey to see why. The country is an incubator for hockey talent, and youth leagues ladder up into competitive leagues where the top players are scouted to become professionals. It’s why we’re often the top-ranked team at international tournaments.

The same approach can be applied to esports. Just as there are divisions for varying skill levels in hockey, the TELUS Esports Series allows players of varying comfort and skill levels to take part. It’s a perfect way to foster talent while breaking down barriers that have kept players from taking part in esports previously.

Canada is home to a disproportionate number of high-profile esports personalities. Three of the most well-known professional esports players in the world hail from the Great White North: Shroud, xQc, and TenZ. While two of those players are retired, they’ve gone on to become some of the biggest streamers in the world, with followings in the millions across YouTube and Twitch. Their popularity has led to many young players getting involved in the competitive gaming scene.

By opening up esports to more players—both in terms of interest and skill level—new talent will be discovered, and the viewership will continue to grow. And that’s where the industry needs to move. Grassroots gaming.

Esports without barriers

To foster talent, you need more than the occasional superstar. You need to move gaming from the couch to organized competitions. Encouraging healthy competition for all skill levels will lead to widespread adoption, proper infrastructure, and a larger fanbase.

But less than 10 percent of Canadian gamers are able to take part in esports because of the skill barrier. That needs to change.

That’s where tournaments such as the TELUS Esports Series 2 come in. Tournaments are a great chance to meet other players, test your skills, and even get scouted by esports organizations.

Last year’s tournament was a huge success. Spanning six weeks, it was the largest grassroots Rocket League event in Canada and produced some incredible highlights. And this year the tournament has expanded to include another game: Apex Legends. Whether you’re a new driver or a veteran Valkyrie player, the TELUS Esports Series 2 is the perfect way to get involved with competitive gaming in a safe environment.

According to Amit Nag, Vice President of Entertainment and Education Services at TELUS, esports are an important part of TELUS’ vision for the future of gaming in Canada.

“Our world-leading PureFibre network gives customers a seamless online gaming and streaming experience, and we are proud to take that experience further with our very own TELUS Esport Series,” said Nag. “As Canadians of all ages spend time online, it’s important for us to help them form healthy gaming habits, which is why we are also providing literacy programs and tips from TELUS WISE throughout the event to inspire gamers to make healthier gaming choices.”

And the tournament is just the beginning. TELUS is also supporting gamers through its esports affiliate program. Gamers and content creators have the opportunity to be officially sponsored, grow their brand, and earn commission on any sales made through their content.

Many gamers are looking for opportunities to get their start. This is a great opportunity to play in a national tournament, create great content, and support the future of esports in Canada.

Getting started

There are two ways to play in the TELUS Esports Series 2 tournament. You can join the free esports league, which is perfect for players of all skill levels. Or if you’re looking for something a bit more serious, you can enter the Pay to Play tier in the Apex Legends tournament for a chance at higher winnings. There will be more than $80K in prizes across Rocket League and Apex Legends, as well as the chance to be featured on the tournament stream!

Rocket League registration has already begun and will be open until November 21, 2022.

Registration for Apex Legends will be open from January 5 to February 2, 2023.

This week in Canadian telecom: tis the season for quarterly reports [Oct. 29-Nov.4]

Several telecom companies announced results for their third-quarter earnings for 2022. While heavily focused on numbers, other issues were also addressed, including the merger of Rogers and Shaw.

Here’s almost everything that happened in Canadian telecom this week.

Business

The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) hosted a meeting with international counterparts to discuss methods to combat scams. Representatives from Australia, Ireland, Hong Kong, and the U.S. were present at the meeting.

Telus has expanded its Mobility for Good program to include Indigenous women surviving or at risk of violence in Ontario. The program provides free smartphones and wireless services. Originally launched in 2021, the program has helped almost 1,000 people so far in Alberta and B.C.

Tesla has applied for a Basic International Telecommunications Service (BITS) licence with the CRTC. The company needs the license to provide various services in its vehicles, including infotainment and internet access.

The hearing between Rogers, Shaw and the Competition Bureau will begin next week. In an attempt to streamline the process, Chief Justice Crampton, who will oversee the hearing, asked the two sides to reach a compromise. The request led to a barrage of statements from each side, neither of them willing to make good on Crampton’s request.

In a report outlining its Q3 earnings for the year, Bell said its growth in the broadband sector set a new record. The company added 400,000 new activations across its wireless and wireline networks, representing a 50 percent increase year-over-year. The company reported over $6 billion in revenue.

Québecor also released its Q3 results this week. It saw minimal growth, with mobile customers increasing by two percent and internet customers increasing by three percent. The company reported overall revenue of $1.14 billion, which was a slight decrease year-over-year. Québecor will be one of the many companies listening closely to the anticipated hearing with the Competition Tribunal, especially given its subsidiary Vidétron is in line to acquire Freedom Mobile from Shaw.

For Telus’ Q3 earnings report, the company outlines it added 150,000 new mobile customers, setting a record of its own as it hadn’t seen similar growth since 2010. The company reports $4.7 billion in overall revenue, with $108 million coming from its mobile network.

Government

The federal government announced it will be investing nearly $16 million in EXFO to advance 5G telecommunications. EXFO develops and monitors various solutions for the telecom industry. The funding will go towards the 5G Center of Excellence in Montreal and create 50 jobs.

Deals

Bell is offering a $10 monthly discount on plans for 12 months if you bring in your own device. More details are available here.

Public Mobile will give 12GB of bonus data on all of its 4G plans. The best part is that the offer isn’t only available to new users, but existing customers as well.

Chatr is offering customers 10GB of bonus data for 12 months on some of its plans.

Telus expands program supplying at risk Indigenous women with smartphones to Ontario

Telecom giant Telus says it will provide free smartphones and wireless services to Indigenous women in Ontario who are at risk or are surviving violence.

An expansion of Telus’ Mobility for Good program, the project is in partnership with Native Child and Family Services of Toronto (NCFST) and Native Women’s Resource Centre of Toronto (NWRCT).

The program will supply smartphones and talk, text, and data plans to  Indigenous women, girls and gender-diverse people. In Canada, Indigenous women and girls represent 24 percent of female homicide victims, despite only compromising four percent of the country’s female population. They are 12 times more likely to be missing or murdered than other women in Canada.

“Through the pandemic and continuously, the community faces barriers, disconnection, and through provision of devices, we can maintain interactions,” Pamela Hart, NWRCT’s executive director, said. “It is more than a phone or device, it’s connection to community, learning, culture and sometimes, a lifeline.”

The Mobility for Good for Indigenous Women at Risk first launched in 2021, helping Indigenous women, girls, and gender-diverse people in Alberta and B.C. The program has supported almost 1,000 people so far, and Telus says it has plans to expand the program across Canada.

Telus, its international faction, acquire U.S. mobile app company WillowTree

Telus Corporation and Telus International are acquiring WillowTree for $1.2 billion US (about $1.6 billion CAD).

The U.S.-based company focuses on user-end experiences, including mobile apps and web interfaces.

“The acquisition of WillowTree brings key tech talent and diversity to Telus International’s portfolio of next-generation solutions, and further augments its digital consulting and innovative client-centric software development capabilities,” Darren Entwistle, president and CEO of Telus, said.

Insignia Capital Group, a majority stakeholder for WillowTree, will sell its shares as part of the transaction, which will close in January 2023.

WillowTree has offices in 13 countries, including Canada, Portugal, Spain, and Romania.

The acquisition is subjected to regulatory approval.
