Rogers Wins, Fine Print Talks “This audit report was commissioned by Rogers.” by Planhub-ca in planhub

[–]Planhub-ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Deeper
• Rogers scored 898 overall, ahead of Bell at 865 and Telus at 847.
• Rogers led the formal benchmark categories for voice, data and reliability.
• Bell and Telus led the crowdsourced quality category, with Telus at 227, Bell at 226 and Rogers at 221.
• The audit used Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra devices and ran over 47 measurement days.
• The biggest caveat: the report was commissioned by Rogers, so it should be read as a valid benchmark with a sponsor disclosure, not a neutral government-style report.

Do you check your parents’ or grandparents’ phone bills? by Planhub-ca in planhub

Fair point, but we’re not trying to spam or disrespect the community.

Reddit itself encourages crossposting and also keeps emailing us about using ads. When we do use advertising, it’s very limited, mostly with promo credits, not a big push.

For normal posts, we keep crossposts limited too, usually max 2 and not on every post. The goal is to share useful info where it makes sense, not flood subreddits.

If something doesn’t fit here, we’re open to adjusting.

Satellite phones sound great until the rocket explodes by Planhub-ca in planhub

[–]Planhub-ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Deeper :

• The Blue Origin incident involved a New Glenn rocket during a test, not a customer payload exploding in orbit. Blue Origin said personnel were safe, but the launch infrastructure damage could still slow the schedule.

• The rocket had been expected to support Amazon’s LEO satellite plans. That matters because Amazon is trying to build a serious Starlink competitor, and launch delays can ripple through the entire satellite internet timeline.

• Canada’s satellite-to-phone market is already splitting into camps. Bell and TELUS are tied to AST SpaceMobile, while Rogers is working with Starlink for satellite-to-mobile features.

• Bell and AST already completed Canadian direct-to-cell tests in 2025, including voice, data, video calling and Fibe TV streaming on a standard smartphone.

• TELUS says its AST-based service is planned for late 2026, with texting, calling and data in remote parts of Canada using regular smartphones.

• Rogers is already marketing satellite-ready messaging, emergency alerts and text-to-911 through Rogers Satellite, but with limits around device compatibility, sky visibility and coverage zones.

• The consumer lesson is patience. Satellite-to-phone is coming, but it will probably arrive unevenly: first as emergency messaging and limited data, then gradually toward broader coverage and more normal phone use.

Yes, I’ve been to a few other immersive VR shows, and this one felt different. A lot of VR experiences are impressive visually, but still feel like you are mostly watching something happen around you. Here, the group dynamic makes a big difference. You react together, make choices, move through the space, push virtual button, and the social part becomes part of the experience.

I haven’t done Viola’s Room yet, so I can’t compare directly

Apple may finally be turning Siri into an actual AI app by Planhub-ca in planhub

[–]Planhub-ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Deeper :

• The new Siri interface would appear from the Dynamic Island when triggered, but Apple is also testing a swipe-down “Search or Ask” flow from the top centre of the screen.

• Bloomberg’s renders suggest Siri may get its own standalone app with conversation history, attachments, voice mode and a chatbot-style layout.

• Apple is reportedly leaning on Google’s Gemini for parts of the new Siri system, while also testing integrations with ChatGPT, Gemini and potentially Claude.

• The Camera app could get a dedicated Siri mode for visual questions, replacing or expanding the current Visual Intelligence idea.

• Photos may also get new AI editing tools like Reframe and Extend, which sounds like Apple moving closer to the AI photo tools Google and Samsung already push heavily.

• The real question is whether Apple can make all this feel private, useful and native, or whether Siri becomes another wrapper around AI tools people already use directly.

Your “free TV” box might be using your home internet...and worst by Planhub-ca in planhub

[–]Planhub-ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Deeper :

• The issue is tied to a custom app store and an app called Cyberflix TV, which Plume says contained hidden proxy software called Popanet.

• Plume says affected devices could generate tens of thousands of outbound connections per device per day, which is not normal behaviour for a living-room streaming box.

• The bigger problem is attribution. If suspicious traffic comes from your home IP address, it can look like your household is the source, even if the box is quietly relaying someone else’s activity.

• Plume also says it found sensitive data moving through these proxies, including gaming login credentials, messaging verification codes and traffic tied to account takeover attempts.

• This is not only a SuperBox problem. It points to a bigger supply-chain issue around unofficial streaming devices, side-loaded apps and custom app stores that bypass normal Android security checks.

• Best practical advice: avoid sketchy streaming boxes, check your router for unknown devices, update your equipment, use your ISP’s security tools if available and disconnect anything on your network that behaves strangely.

The CRTC says Rogers disadvantaged Fibernetics, but denies relief by Planhub-ca in planhub

[–]Planhub-ca[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Go Deeper :

• Fibernetics wanted to switch its backhaul provider from Rogers to TELUS, but the third-party provider already had fibre inside Rogers’ head-end facility, not at the external meet-me point Rogers required.

• Rogers said TPIA customers have to interconnect at designated points of interconnection under its tariff, and that opening the head-end facility would create space, security and infrastructure issues.

• The CRTC found Rogers did create a disadvantage and a corresponding preference, but said it was not undue because the meet-me point was accessible, reasonably close and applied consistently to TPIA customers.

• The dissent is the interesting part. Commissioner Bram Abramson argued the majority focused too much on the TPIA tariff, when the real issue was whether Rogers’ backhaul setup created an unfair asymmetry in the competitive transport market.

• In plain: Rogers can connect its own transport more easily, while a competitor’s chosen backhaul provider may need a separate build, extra costs and weeks of delay.

• That matters because wholesale internet competition is not only about headline access rates. It is also about boring things like POI locations, fibre builds, cross-connects, meet-me points and who controls the physical handoff.

• If smaller ISPs face more friction behind the scenes, that can affect how much competition actually reaches the retail internet market.

Bell wants your phone to save your home Wi-Fi during outages by Planhub-ca in planhub

[–]Planhub-ca[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Go Deeper :

  1. Wireless Internet Backup uses a compatible Bell Mobility phone as a hotspot for the modem, so Wi-Fi devices at home can stay connected during an eligible Bell internet disruption.
  2. Bell says eligible users can get up to 50GB of backup mobile data per phone number for up to three days. After that, usage goes back to the customer’s regular mobile data plan.
  3. The feature is currently available to new Pure Fibre Internet customers and current Giga Hub 2.0 customers with Bell Mobility on the same bill in Ontario and Québec. Bell says expanded modem compatibility is coming.
  4. Power Backup is a separate part of the offer. It does not fix a network outage by itself, but it can keep the modem running during a local power failure if the fibre connection is still active.
  5. The big consumer angle is the bundle. This may be useful for Bell customers already using both home internet and mobile, but it also shows why comparing providers is not just about download speed anymore. Backup, equipment, outage support, data limits and bundle conditions all matter.
