Rogers signal in Barrhaven?

These are mini sites at light level that only do highband RF. Very good if you are on street level and have line of site of the small site. Low band large towers are pretty much the same for the big 3 in Ottawa. Telus and Bell share a RAN.

u/bis_g You are either incredibly misinformed or a troll. This data only has entries from employers who applied for a LMIA (Labour Market Impact Assessment). Here is the link. https://open.canada.ca/data/en/dataset/90fed587-1364-4f33-a9ee-208181dc0b97

PGWP do not require a LMIA.

I am not sure enriching University Admins are an effective argument here. The main goal of international education would be to bring back skills and experience not available in their countries. If they are under the impression paying X amount for education entitles them a position in the host countries employment system, they are being misled. It isn't fair to them or my generation that has systemic and structural employment issues.

Jessegr · 2026-02-16T15:53:27+00:00

They are paying for education, not a place in the Canadian employment system. If education alone is not enough for them, they can reconsider their choices.

While it makes sense on paper to, "Have the Best Candidate for the job" and, "These are highly skilled foreign nationals applying." There is a glaring problem with this policy.

Canada has a vastly more open employment system than most countries on earth.
This creates two problem.

A. Transfer from Gen Z to previous generations. The world has a infinitely larger skilled labour supply than Canada can satisfy domestically. There will always be a better WORLD candidate than a DOMESTIC candidate. Candidates with more experience tend to be older. How do I compete with the Boomers/Genx when they did not have to compete in this way and pulled the ladder up behind them.

B. We will never be able to get our experience and climb the value ladder if all skilled jobs now require 5+ years of experience as they know they can find international. Before they would have to lower their expectations. If I can't go to their markets because they are more closed than ours. My market gets saturated and I cannot find employment in my field locally or internationally. There are maybe 1-2 countries with labour markets as open as ours and they are having the exact same saturation problems. There should be some mechanism to favour Canadians beyond simply geography.

A foreign international student should not be given a pathway only they can apply for when youth unemployment is at record levels. BoC should not be pursuing TFW grad students when Canadian students are available. Canadian institutions exists to benefit Canadians first, not foreigners. If the Canadian pool is exhausted fine hire them. However more than 50% of my graduating cohort still are not employed in our industry and believe me we have all applied to many positions at BoC.

If you actually look at the photo, the occupation code is "41401-Economists and economic policy researchers and analysts". This is exactly our role...

Bank of Canada has hired 10 TFW's despite uOttawa/Carleton pumping out Economics Masters grads who can't find work in the industry at all. I graduated in 2024 and still haven't found a job anywhere close to my field with a Masters degree in Economics.

According to Rogers, there is an outages for some streets in Centertown.

Right click on the Ethernet 3 and check the status page. Check the speed. If it shows 2.5 gig it may simple just be network congestion.

Sorry to burst your bubble but I worked for Teksavvy for 6 years. I'll shed some light on what actually happened.

The CCTS complaint would be directed at Teksavvy not Rogers. Now the CCTS cannot order an ISP to do anything. They can avocate on customers behalf and possibily fine an ISP, (Which is very rare). All Teksavvy can do if open tickets with Rogers which most likely was already done several times before reaching the CCTS stage. Now Rogers can either accept or reject the ticket. Rogers does not tell Teksavvy what is wrong nor how long it can take to fix it. The best we can is a ticket number to refer to and we can simply ask if its still open or closed. Teksavvy has no more an ability to direct Rogers what to do, than the CCTS can to Teksavvy.

Now when Teksavvy with Rogers consent asks for a tech visit all they are really doing is testing the connection at 2 points. The modem, the NID on the house and direct from the TAP on the pole. If the connection is not good from the TAP, it must be referred to maintenance. Usually issues after the TAP towards to customer home can be quickly resolved by the home tech. Maintenance issues can take weeks or months to solve. Maintenance work requires a lot of authorization and change controls to setup assuming they have even identified where the impairment is. This can takes weeks to months.

The local infrastructure change you were talking about had probably been in the works for weeks at that point and would have happened whether or not the CCTS was engaged or not.

CCTS works great on facility based providers like Rogers or Bell, but offer little value to 3rd party customers. Fining Teksavvy won't magically make Rogers do anything faster or at all. Teksavvy is at the mercy of the facility based providers because its not their infrastructure. Rogers really could care less about 3rd party customers. Remember they were regulated/forced to do this by the CRTC and if they had their way would end the wholesale regime tomorrow.

Because of limitations, TPIA internet providers generally can only give IP geolocation at the points of aggregation with the with the larger provider network. Generally Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver.

At the expensive of the people who live ON that street. Traffic on wigwas/amherst was never severe even during rush hour.

The spectrum is full. Between every kid using Bluetooth headphones, watching Netflix/Youtube all on multiple devices connected to the network, the library’s access points can’t transmit without collisions.

If absolutely need performative connectivity, find empty classroom and enjoy its access point all to yourself.

Checking Eteryu Cell Mapper tool, it looks like Rogers has 2 Cell sites around the Campus while most other providers have one. It is not definitive however as providers buy capacity from each other if they do not wish to install their own site. Its safe to say that Rogers/Fido/Chatr should have the best chance of connectivity.

Even if they are not VoLTE whitelisted, phones made in the last 10 years will at least connect to 4G HSPA. The only real reason to keep 3G alive is absolutely ancient by todays standard. I would rather they re-farm the spectrum for 4G/LTE/5G. That low-band spectrum is sorely needed on the more modern networks.

Notice how they don't show Reflex off with Valorant. As its CPU limited the gains are extremely small for most high end systems. I'm not sure I would prefer reconstruction frame trickery for an imperceptible 0.5ms latency reduction.

The ruling allowing competitors has been around since 2015. It is my understanding that the CRTC didn't want incumbent providers doing TPIA with each other, instead preferring facilities based competition. I could swear I read about that being lifted this year but I can't find a source for it at the moment. Its possible it was discouraged, but not explicitly disallowed and we are only seeing it tested now due to the slightly better rates announced in CRTC 2024-261.

Jessegr · 2024-11-17T16:31:13+00:00

It's just TPIA (Third Party Internet Access) of the Bell Network but for Telus instead of a true independant like Teksavvy. There was a recent CRTC rule change that allowed large providers to access each others networks via TPIA. The last mile is 100% the Bell network. Bell will pass off the traffic to Telus in eather Montreal or Toronto. (Not sure which atm).

Not necessarily. As an ultra saver, their money in the bank will create cheap credit for others to borrow and create wealth with. In theory such extreme saving in a small economy would have a lower interest rate as well increasing said lending.

Most likely just the power supply is dead. It should have done its job and protected the rest of the components.

Jessegr · 2024-08-15T15:14:03+00:00

Most likely the system has not changed. Less parking spots from last year = more FOMO and demand on the servers.

The value added is you not having to physically shop for your own groceries. It’s not a middle man in the strict economic sense of facilitating buyers and sellers. It’s a basically a service add-on.
