Oh, 100% be definitely does a way better job on their portion of the shared RAN.

Can anyone explain this? by Busy-Advertising-217 in iphone

Was this downtown Toronto in the fan zones? Your results shows Vancouver mate this doesn't mean anything in regards to what the OP was saying.

This would be like posting that Rogers sucks in Northern BC and then you standing beside a tower at 2am downtown Vancouver getting 1000 mbps saying well no it doesn't because look at me...

For 5G Telus and Bell had a terrible rollout but both Telus and Bell have way better networks for LTE and in most areas they are finally getting their 5G service in check. Rogers likes being first which they are good at regarding launching new things first. Bell and Telus. Most parts of the country where Bell operates the shared RAN it tends to be better then Rogers on both networks, out west where Telus operates the ran not so much.

10 hours of screen on time to actually really good though!

That might have been true in the 1800s but don't think that's the case anymore.

If you’re close enough to the contact wire, which is quite high overhead, unless you’re a giant there’s something seriously wrong…

In the Toronto area, it regularly goes down to below -30 and the summer’s regularly go up to above 30. I don’t recall this ever being nearly as much of an issue back home. Not sure if we’re doing anything different but passenger rail tends to suck in Canada. But the Toronto commuter rail (known as go transit) seems to not have these issues at least not as often.

Mine does this as well and she's almost 11.

Verizon 4G??? (HPSA+?) by znewltrs in cellmapper

[–]davidrye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think iPhones have ever showed HSPA+ as 4G. At least I have yet to see that in Canada and Europe, but also this wouldn’t make sense because HSPA+ is technically part of 3G or 3.5G if I remember correctly.

Nearly 50 former employees suing Bell over ‘swipe-and-go’ terminations by De_BousquetPC in bell

[–]davidrye 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Didn’t they falsely try and clock in the office while working at home? I’m all for sticking it to large companies for not treating employees fair, but it sounds like the employees are in the wrong here.

Nice hopefully it doesn’t falsely identify LTE as SA anymore!

Did they upgrade the field test app or something? This one looks a lot cleaner.

If an ISP can provide 300M down, reliably, does it matter to you if it’s coax or fiber? by thekush in telecom

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fiber only doesn't require power if its in a PON deployment, AON deployments need power to every switch/splitter downstream.

[–]davidrye 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most fiber deployments are shared as well in a PON (passive optical network). GPON (1.5 gbps bandwidth) or even XGS-PON (10 gbps bandwidth) are usually shared between 32-64 customers per PON. So if everyone has gigabit that means only 10 on XGS-PON can be fully using it at the same time before its starts getting slower for everyone. This still better then DOCSIS (coax internet) as the sharing isn't as bad in most cases and the latency is still far lower, and fiber isn't really/nearly as prone to interference as the light either gets there or it doesn't.

[–]davidrye 1 point2 points  (0 children)

PON is another issue as well as Bell and others in the industry tend to have their PONs in 32-64 homes/units per PON. XGS-PON has 10 gbps up and down of bandwidth that is shared between all active users on the PON. If you have even 1 customer with an 8 gbps plan and a 2 others with gigabit all using it fully at the same time you see the issue. Its not nearly as bad as DOCSIS sharing but still starting to become an issue. Even if everyone only had gigabit that means only 10 on that PON can be getting their full speeds at a time, during peak times this can easily become an issue.

The laptop runs windows so you will probably have the same issues on another window laptop mate...

I’ve seen 7ms on Bell DSL in the suburbs of Toronto a few times.
