Totally agree with you too! In rural and remote areas the solution will be the Starlink Internet! They are extremely useful for these areas, what do you think 🤔

yes, it requires little improvement.

We are still waiting for 5G.

5G will be real nice for FIZZ ⚡️

I rater have more competition and better price In the real world an internet connection with 3gbps is overpower you could have 120 device running 4k videos You also wouldn't profite of the full potiential of the 3 gbps because of bottleneck from your hardware or from outside Netflix or else wont let you download something at 3gbps to reduce the load on their servers

5G would be nice but Canada just doesn't have the infrastructure investment to make it work. At least not yet.
5G is more of a advertising gimmick so far.

Yeah totally agree with you!

Thank you for sharing with us!

It's especially egregious because our Telcos are so uncompetitive, especially in the internet sector. It sucks that Freedom is using Roger's coaxial tech and Fizz is most likely to also follow this route when internet comes to Ontario.

At least with mobility, cell towers shouldn't be too costly to set up unless the neighbours don't like the look of a cell tower in their vicinity.

This doesn't surprise me. There's no investment into the larger infrastructure of our data networks.

How can you be so sure on this info? 😊

Yeah man I agree with you 💯 4G has the best coverage / ratio speed comparedto 5G, it's a hit or you lose everythingt to almost none speed... 4G will always stay between 100 mbps to even 150 mbps but the 5G can only go up to 250 mbps in few areas and on low coverage areas, the 5G will roughly get 25 mbps which is worse than the 4G, the 4G with full strength speed and coverage is overall better for now until the 5G is completely mastered and that coverage is at full strength everywhere...

4G has the best coverage
5G is great if we had density like the island nations of Japan or Korea, but Canada is just too large to be advertising 5G as a selling point
Even if Fizz offers 5G is just won't be good enough. Canada is too large to effectively utilize 5G infrastructure outside of population dense big cities like downtown core

Yeah well said! I totally agree with you and those are the reasons why 4G will be the best option overall for awhile here in CANADA. 150 mbps is plenty enough to run apps and such with data while being out when you don't have Wi-Fi around

It's mostly reflected in the prices of our telecommunications. I had a look at the big three telcos in my area and all their plans are extortionate. Our telcos do not like competition.
Your mileage may vary with your local mobility and internet plans.
There's also the ruling that Bell has to open their fiber for wholesale rates and they stopped building new fiber all together in protest. Fiber is prohibitively expensive to build out as we have no density to make it worth it.

Thank you so much for the informations!

It's a big country what low density population1 -
We'll be just fine with that!
0 -
That's true. Also, do we really need 5G speed anyway. For most users, LTE is enough.
0 -
What we need more is Wi-Fi calling.
But I'm not sure how badly we need it.
Fizz allows you to be on EXT whereas Freedom does not (while within primary Freedom/Fizz tower zone).
But Freedom has Wi-Fi calling. Tough call.

I agree with you on this.
0 -
With Wi-Fi calling it's perfect!
0 -
Don't be so sad.
Thought we have slower speed, we have higher price!
0 -
Prices are becoming more reasonable nowadays
0 -
Also the fact that most of it isnt 5g standalone
0 -
Could be better quality of service problems in some areas.
0 -
Yes totally, some place could benefits from moe cell towers

Canada is large and many villages are located. We are actually not many to pay for such a large infrastructure as 5G.
0 -
That does make sense. I think it's a valid point
0 -
Yes, so true
0 -
I cannot agree more. Competition is the key in terms of advancement
0 -
Yea I totally agree, its a slow and expensive process Canada is huge with not much people in it
