I'm currently on Telus, and while I'm not sure if I'm going to switch or not yet, I am definately not impressed with Telus. Currently I cannot talk in many places across even Calgary, reception outside of the city is no better. Here's a list of the places I've noticed I can't get reception, where my family members on Rogers do:
1) Parkades of any kind
2) Elevators, same as parkades
3) There are a few whole blocks downtown where I just can't talk (specifically behind the BP building and the International hotel I get zero reception)
4) My girlfriend's house, and backyard.
I average about 15 lost calls a week, some weeks are better then others. It is my only phone so I use it quite a bit. I drop parts of conversations what seems like every second block while driving, although that depends on what area I'm in. Talking on it in Copperfield (deep south east) is hopeless most nights.
With that said, I'm not sure that it is entirely Telus' fault as maybe my phone just sucks ass, but that combined with their horrible customer services has left me wanting. I have an LG, not sure of the model number, which I was assured was a pretty good phone with the only reported problems being battery related in some cases. I did end up having battery problems, but they were fixed relatively easy, the ****ty reception/network is the part I can't do anything about.
