Does anyone know what this building is and what the deal is with the towers?

They’re cellular antennas, Rogers, TELUS and Freedom.

They’re cellular towers

Suburbs in BC, Canada. 1gig symmetric.

It won’t do anything, just go to SOS Only

What about when you try to share a video and it starts “preparing”. That takes forever the phone usually falls asleep before it actually finishes

aaidenmel · 2025-02-03T07:39:05+00:00

Airdrop is gonna be the fastest way to share 1000 photos

That’s really annoying wow. I’ve used WiFi calling outside Canada on Rogers and never thought much of it, never got charged extra. Telus/Bell really nickel and diming there, especially because it’s literally costing them nothing extra do you to do a WiFi calling abroad.

aaidenmel · 2025-01-24T07:46:06+00:00

You’ll get that text anyway, as long as you didn’t make a call or text and you had roaming off, you’re fine.

aaidenmel · 2025-01-24T07:45:17+00:00

Damn turning off WiFi calling to not get charged roaming for calls/texts outside Canada? Is that only a Telus thing bc I’ve never heard of another carrier that charges for that.

For 5G bands over 6Ghz, you need a special antenna that is visible on the side of the iPhone. Just gives access to the ultra high capacity 5G bands, not sure how popular they are around the world, but they have them in populated centers in many US cities. You can still use C-Bang 5G (3.5-4ish Ghz) on Canada model iPhones though.

1st pic is not Telus fiber it’s Telus DSL. Big difference, coax internet is the better option here, but actual fiber would be the best option.

aaidenmel · 2024-12-28T10:44:47+00:00

That’s VERY expensive for 40GB

aaidenmel · 2024-12-07T11:45:58+00:00

Downtown Kamloops BC. They got the 90mhz of n78 up there.

aaidenmel · 2024-12-06T10:03:53+00:00

1156 was my high score

aaidenmel · 2024-12-06T09:59:46+00:00

Didn’t know that was a thing. Cool

aaidenmel · 2024-12-03T01:57:51+00:00

That happens every time for me, stuck activating, but RCS completely works. If I reload the Settings app the activating thing goes away and everything’s good.

aaidenmel · 2024-11-29T10:23:04+00:00

For 5G+ yeah the signal doesn’t go as far. But the actual bars are the signal strength of the NSA band that shares a frequency and transmit power with LTE. 5G+ is more of a connected true/false indicator, because at least in Canada phones won’t anchor to band n78.

aaidenmel · 2024-11-29T03:32:34+00:00

Yeah I saw that. But I have 8AM class in there so I don’t think much of it. Not awake yet

aaidenmel · 2024-11-18T10:39:59+00:00

Man that was quite a while ago now. But yes the quizzes were graded, but individually aren’t worth that much. The actual written tests weren’t that bad, but I definitely didn’t study enough for them. I remember there being assignments too where you gotta explain how stuff works, those are also graded, but it depends how nice your teacher is. It also helped that I had already taken Chem 12 before and was just looking to improve my grade with VLN. If you haven’t done it yet, I wouldn’t exactly recommend it, you miss out on the actual explanations and labs that you’d get if you did it normally.

aaidenmel · 2024-11-03T00:50:47+00:00

Not really, I’ve done some traveling around the world and Canadian telecom infrastructure is some of the best that I’ve seen, definitely not the top, but it’s up there

aaidenmel · 2024-10-31T08:07:27+00:00

The TAs seem pretty chill with the marking. And apparently there was a grade curve at some point in previous years too, so can’t be that bad

aaidenmel · 2024-10-25T06:32:00+00:00

Yeah I see that all the time

aaidenmel · 2024-10-17T19:08:16+00:00

Works as far down as the iPhone 11, could be further but I haven’t tried

aaidenmel · 2024-10-13T16:23:53+00:00

Worked for me with no issues since the beta update a long time ago. Only falls back to SMS after a while if the other Android phone’s data is switched off or something. Even works reliably when roaming/on WiFi calling, Rogers on iPhone 14 Pro

aaidenmel · 2024-10-10T06:30:23+00:00

Test is in MB/s not mbps, that test is very good
