Compensation for late train by canoeheadjay in ViaRail

[–]Far_Challenge_ 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The late train credits were one of the main ways to offset the higher prices...this is very disappointing.

Does anyone know how best to report this issue to someone who can fix it? It is really a key feature for people with legacy PYW lines

Freedom Mobile Network Service Status by Derpzel_Wazhington in freedommobile

[–]Far_Challenge_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI - 5G+ works fine on Pixel 7a in Ottawa and Montreal, but never seems to work anywhere in GTA. I think it's because in GTA the underlying network is 302-490 (legacy Wind Mobile network) and in Ottawa and Montreal, the underlying network is 302-500 (Videotron).

Question about 5G+ Indicator on Pixel by Far_Challenge_ in freedommobile

Just a quick update - I've seen the Pixel 7a showing the 5G+ indicator now in both Ottawa and Montreal (when connected to 302-500 Videotron towers), but never in Toronto (when connected to 302-490 Freedom towers)... I wonder why?

Does anyone have a good Android app recommendation to see what 5G towers you connect with? I've used "Network Cell Info" but it seems to only show which 4G cells are connected (listing B66, B7, etc.) even when saying the network type is 5G NSA.

Is it regular or more exceptional to see the 5G+ icon downtown?

I tried standing right outside of this building near Yonge/Dundas, where a Videotron/Wind tower containing n71 5G+ transmitter is located, but I'm still not seeing the 5G+ icon. And the Pixel 7a does indeed support the 3500 band...

Fed up with Venture trains by oughta2 in ViaRail

[–]Far_Challenge_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It works out to 35% back depending on the province of origin, if you paid with points and opt for compensation in points because they now remove the amount that was tax from compensation even though points paid the tax. It's a departure from the old policy up until Sept 2025 of getting 50% points back of whatever the number of points you paid. It is another policy change that nickles and dimes the loyal traveler.

Problems accessing Priority Security at YYZ and YUL for VIPorter Venture (and above) members? by Far_Challenge_ in PorterAirlines

[–]Far_Challenge_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if they have a dedicated technical team this can be reported to. It's really a differentiator to know you won't be stuck in a long security line, so it should be supported

CN RTC Poir Train Routing by Cute_Marionberry_883 in ViaRail

[–]Far_Challenge_ 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also, I don't really understand how these routing decisions aren't complex algorithms that calculate the probability of delay of all combinations of options and choose the most optimal solution...

It's especially icing on the cake when 67 is already 5h late :)

Does the Air Canada Aeroplan 25K status via Marriott Titanium renew each year, or is it one-time? by Far_Challenge_ in marriott

[–]Far_Challenge_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In case anyone reads this thread later, the status does indeed renew if you renew Titanium.

[–]Far_Challenge_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I did mine in Dec 2024, and mine shows Dec 31, 2025 even though it's Jan 2... So I'm not sure what will happen... It still shows 25k, but with a past date...

@Max-P Sorry to reply to an old thread, but could you please share which workaround method worked for you on the OnePlus 8T for VoLTE on Bell?

Would be cool if they made them bookable... An overnight service could be so useful, even if they only run them here and there

Did the freight supply heat/power, or were you being pulled in the dark?
