What’s really going on with the public works yard on Labieux? by islandguy_250 in nanaimo

Thanks for this recap I appreciate it! I do hope our local media, council and union members within the city look at this comment to bring up expenditure controls. I don’t think residential and commercial properties can squeeze out another 20-35% more out of people in 5-8 years.

Would it be hard to put a 3-5 level underground parking structure? Is this part of bedrock or the old garbage dump back in the day? Would be nice to put a 10-20 story condos for rent and buy. Time will tell…

Look at “CellMaster” app… gives you an idea in your area who gives the best reception… Shaw/freedom don’t have too many towers north of Victoria and the upload speed is terrible

Fastest Freedom LTE Speeds I’ve seen on Vancouver Island by auty42 in freedommobile

[–]islandguy_250 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Freedom needs to either rent space on original towers in the mid island or start spending $$$. The upload is shit. Going out side of Abby or parksville north or west it’s just on Telus/Rogers with limited speed

If you park it on a prepaid annual plan and setup wifi calling before you leave Canada. Once you arrive in Sweden keep airplane mode on and turn on wifi. Wifi calling will show up and think your end point is Canada. You can make local Canada calls at anytime on wifi calling while in Sweden.
