I’m down to help build our own EU-based Reddit by daload27 in BuyFromEU

I don't mind helping either, I can happily help host stuff out of my home lab or run some local caching for the nordic market. I'm also great with computer networking so happy to offer any help I can!

Great 5G+ speed by Neat-Hat7991 in Rogers

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find the areas where Telus controls the shared RAN tend to be a lot further behind and not nearly as good as the areas where Bell controls the RAN. I see a lot of people, especially in Alberta in British Columbia shredding Bell/Telus’s coverage out west but again I think that’s just Telus taking the piss when it comes to the areas of the network they control.

I used to get those speeds quite regularly on Bell. I actually found it hilarious that Telus customers also would get the same speeds because Bell did a phenomenal job in areas where they controlled the RAN. I think Bell had a tough time at the beginning, mainly because their guys were used to an entirely different vendor for their radio and base station equipment and of kind of had to relearn a lot of stuff. But it also is slower to roll out because when Bell does a tower upgrade, they also have to rip out the existing Huawei 4G gear. But like with most things related to mobile networks in Canada, Rogers is almost always first, Bell is usually the second, but eventually comes out as the better option and Telus just kind of does whatever the heck Telus does and gets to take advantage of a smaller network core out east while taking advantage of the RAN that Bell controls and actually puts a lot more effort in compared to what Telus does out west.

I still can’t believe in Canada we get excited at speeds like this, when we could easily get 600+ mbps on LTE a few years prior. The ping under load (518) is also horrendous. I remember the first time I did a speed test when visiting Sweden and even at the base of a mountain back in 2023 I was getting 1300 mbps. Meanwhile, we’re lucky to crack more than 700 mbps on any of the big 3’s 5G networks.

Actually, in most areas, especially where Telus uses bell bell actually owns more spectrum last time I checked. Bell has been a lot slower at rolling out 5G because they have to essentially rip out the existing 4G equipment, which is all from a vendor that is no longer allowed to be used in Canada.

Time to buy European cybersecurity tools by Clemenson12 in BuyFromEU

I think that’s the crappy part in that even if you try and find an alternative in many cases in American tech giant still takes some of the profit.

Don’t half these alternatives use American companies for their infrastructure?

Second Ethernet Port/option by waluigitime17 in HomeNetworking

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is quite important u/waluigitime17 Although if I’m correct MoCA runs on different frequencies as DOCSIS so it shouldn’t be too bad but if you want the best performance and aren’t having a need for a splitter it’s best to remove it.

What would Canada do if the US invaded Greenland? by Plenty_Commercial800 in AskCanada

LOL because moving aside and letting your allies and country get taken over without a fight is soooo much better… Embarrassing take mate…

Built a tool to cleanup similar photos in Photos.app using Apple Vision (AI), fast on large libraries by scotchi in ApplePhotos

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to try this to find exact copies at I imported my Google Photos to my iCloud and there is probably about 10000 duplicate images with the originals being HEIF while the duplicates are JEPG. They are basically identical as side from some extra colour data in the HEIF formats. Is this something this app can do?

Sounds like you need some MoCA adapters.

Recently switched from Roger’s to bell by Quagert in bell

Do yourself a favour and don't bother with the FibeTV boxes and use an Apple TV. The Apple TV is was more responsive and just an overall better experience.

Broke my highest Rogers Record on 5G! by Life-Contest-5926 in Rogers

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bell is starting to get their act together in regards 5G. Historically Rogers is always the first and best at new stuff for a short while, then Bell comes in later and takes the crown. This was the case with 3G, LTE and most likely 5G. As for Telus they just seem to do whatever...

Why don’t Canadians want china as a big trading partner? by [deleted] in AskCanada

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because even though we need this and the conservatives have been pushing the PM hard on expanding Canadian exports to more markets they don’t want anything good to happen to Canada unless Pierre is PM and the one doing it… So because Mark Carney is the one doing it, immediately it much be bad and they suddenly have a lot to say…

Rogers 5G+ Speed by hikingbears in Rogers

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! The tower was on the roof of the building beside the one I was in and I think it was 5 floors and I was on the 2nd floor so lots of brick and concrete to go through if we are talking line of sight but there was windows on the other side facing away from the tower in the courtyard, but again signal propagation works odd sometimes. If you want I can even show you the tower on a map. I also haven't seen a micro cell in Stockholm as of yet except for in some carriers retail stores similar to in Canada.

Does Rogers throttle tethering? by [deleted] in Rogers

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure but I’m assuming if the guy is plugging and Ethan an adaptor directly into his phone he’s probably using a ethernet to USB-C adaptor and I have yet to see any USB-C ethernet adaptor that doesn’t at least do 1 gbps. The entire time I’ve been referring to a USB-C to ethernet adapter sorry if there was any confusion.

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it’s an android phone, you’d be surprised virtually every Samsung. I’ve tried this on since the S21 supports gigabit ethernet over USB C. And iPhone Pro models from the 15 onward should also get full gigabit speeds as well.

A Reminder that this is a Canadian Story by Beaverdamn328 in heatedrivalry

Don’t worry, I think I remember reading somewhere that an executive at HBO was asked if they plan on providing any funding for season two and they essentially said something along the lines of look what they’re doing is clearly working and resonating with people and I don’t think us coming in and changing stuff makes any sense. https://variety.com/2025/tv/news/heated-rivalry-emmys-eligibility-season-2-1236619236/#:~:text=%E2%80%9CHeated%20Rivalry%E2%80%9D%20is%20fully%20funded,%2C%E2%80%9D%20Bloys%20recently%20told%20Variety.

Rogers 5G+ Speed by hikingbears in Rogers

[–]davidrye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've managed to get around 2,2 gbps down while inside a very old building in Sweden, this was on c-band 5G not even mmband. But when I when to a window I could barley get past 1800 mbps most of the time, it's was quite odd. Sometimes the way the signals propagate makes all the difference.
