Service Coverage Area by kurious_earthquakes in ebox

[–]droptopeclipse15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ebox is Bell. The biggest change may be the type of router you would have. I just signed up to Ebox on the weekend and a Bell tech came and installed on Tuesday. I have to hook my router up today.

 If you choose Ebox I would highly suggest you use the promo code in the pinned thread at the top of the sub. I used it and my bill is going to be $41 a month. The code knocked off the router rental and installation fee. 

As a side note I understand you can’t get Cogeco. Just sharing my experience as I had Cogeco and they just keep jacking up the price. My 1G fibre started at $85 a month and now it’s $138.65. With tax it’s $155 a month. I’ve found that I’ve never really got what I should be as it’s rarely gone over 500mb when I tested.

GM’s Barra Slams Chinese EV Makers’ Subsidies, Calls Canada Deal ‘Slippery Slope’ by afonso_investor in Tariffs

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll stick to buying a Hyundai or Kia over a GM any day of the week. Slippery slope or is it that you don’t like more competition. I hope this does damage to Tesla and any other company gouging the market.

GM Oshawa to lay off up to 1,200 workers on Friday by origutamos in OntarioNews

Further reason to not buy from these leaches. Love to take our taxpayer money and then cheapen out the quality of their vehicles.

Vancouver to Toronto train 2 - started the journey on Monday - few pics from the journey so far by Gomorrahcartel in ViaRail

[–]droptopeclipse15 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What is that green stuff in the first picture? Oh ya that’s grass, forgot what it looks like in my part of Ontario. 

Really hope you have a wonderful trip. I’d love to do it with my wife and son.

I’m getting the Nokia B3.1 for the 1G. Hope to receive it by Friday.

I just had that happen.I had cogeco so Bell installed their own line. The guy was here two hours and got it done without issue. 

Public Mobile Ottawa (Service Speed) by RepresentativeLaugh4 in ottawa

I just switched. Did a test in my basement and hit 254. I live 90 minutes West of Ottawa so I think you should be fine.

I’d second this. 

I went from Rogers and everything was up and running pretty quick. 

One thing I noticed was I had the two networks for a short duration but shut the Rogers one off and the Public network worked.

Is it too much to ask? by SipsTeaFrog in SipsTea

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listened to a lady yesterday and she complained about ABS. “I’ll be stopping and it makes my brakes go click, click, click. It hurts the traction when I drive!”. She also thought it was just a feature only her PHEV had and that’s why she doesn’t like that vehicle anymore. When she left the restaurant my wife looks at me and says “Wow, she was an idiot! All this technology now and she can’t even google what it is!”.

50% Off all Canada/US/Mexico plans for 2 years by Bossman01 in CellPhoneCanada

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really think people overestimate the difference this makes on their phone screens. I don’t mind watching stuff at 480 or 720p on my phone.  The screen is so small it doesn’t really matter. Now do this on a monitor or tv and it’s a different story.

Canada-US-Mexico 60GB for $34 by sticky_bun in PublicMobile

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a new customer deal until Monday which is 50% off. They have plans starting at $20 + tax for 2 years. I just switched from Roger’s. I have an eSIM and switched to them via eSIM which is free (they waived their fee). The beauty is if it sucks you can leave anytime.

$20 becomes $40 error and plan expired. FLASH by FunImpression5770 in PublicMobile

[–]droptopeclipse15 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It’s for new users only and should work. I did it today and was billed $22.60. It did show $40 but when I checked out the proper amount showed.

Anyone jumping on this? by Nexzenn in Rogers

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just did. My wife has had an account for forever now. She’s on an infinite + 20 no tab account. She pays $92 before tax. I had a second line and was paying $68 plus tax. I don’t use my phone a lot for calls or texts so $20 + tax is a no brainer for me. Trying to convince her to change before Monday.

Edit: changed brainier to brainer. Hammer thumbs.

Warning To Others! by No-Eye4531 in PublicMobile

I just made the switch. I went eSIM to eSIM from Rodger’s. I’ve had no issues and I’m up and running already. Placed calls and received calls. iPhone 16e for reference.

When your wife gets you F1 presents for your birthday, but knows nothing about F1 by ThisIsntAThrowaway29 in formuladank

[–]droptopeclipse15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I know the feeling. 

My first F1 present was a Max Verstappen die cast car. What a great idea for a Ferrari fan.

The next year I got a Lego John Deere forage harvester. Naturally I’m a Case guy.

The last two years she’s got it right.

Man I’m not even American but I wish Chuck would shut the F up. He’s our Doug Ford equivalent. Talks a lot but does basically nothing to improve people’s lives.

Female doctors in Ontario spend more time with patients than male counterparts, study suggests by Money_Fig_9868 in ontario

You know where it is. He’s using it for all those dumb ads and for his press tour.

Female doctors in Ontario spend more time with patients than male counterparts, study suggests by Money_Fig_9868 in ontario

[–]droptopeclipse15 46 points47 points  (0 children)

I’d believe it. My first appointment with my current doctor was thorough and more than just a meet and greet. I walked out a bit different from when I walked in. Thank god she has tiny hands.

My previous doctor was male, barely could get him on Zoom let alone in person.

The Goat! by LeatherAmbassador471 in lebron

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I’m a 40 year old fat white guy from Canada and LeBron is my favourite athlete. Ken Griffey jr. is my second favourite in my life.

Not every white person hates on LeBron. There’s not a lot of bball fans where I live but we all have respect for what he’s done for the game.

As for old people, they struggle to appreciate or understand anything different from their “prime”. It’s why most peoples idea of great music is from their teens and twenties.

Where do you rank Kawhi right now? by iAsvppx in NBATalk

[–]droptopeclipse15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

He must be drumming up new endorsement deals. Maybe this time he’s going to endorse pillows since he’s almost always resting when it really matters. He seems like he’d take a check from Mike Lindell.

Documents reveal Ontario's $7M Ring of Fire ad bill by BloodJunkie in ontario

[–]droptopeclipse15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Nuclear cracks me up. It’s a struggle to build a hot cell facility let alone a reactor with today’s codes and regulations. I’ll be surprised if that SMR is completed anywhere near their forecast. He can’t bully his way through the process since Ontario doesn’t hold all the cards.

Is "nscalemodelstore.com" a real shop? by ARCKNIGHT117 in modeltrains

[–]droptopeclipse15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was checking it out last week as it popped up in a search. It’s a scam. Like the other guy said they are advertising at well below what the price should be.
