Those that I know that use Telus despise them to a very similar degree
to which others despise Rogers and Bell.  As commented downstream,
they all exist in the same captive regulatory environment, so there is
plenty of reason for them to be exceedingly similar in how they treat
customers.

They are all regulated, organized, and financed in mighty similar
ways, and fit into the telephony environment in essentially similar
ways, so any differences that emerge seem pretty temporary.

People have coined the term "Robellus" to characterize all three at once.
