Different area obviously and different carriers...

In western Canada, you have 2 choices for networks (Rogers and Telus). All of the carriers use either the Rogers or the Telus towers.

We were with Telus for 15 years and then we switched to Bell 2 years ago. Bell uses the Telus towers so we expected the same quality of service... not even close. It seems like the sig al strength on Bell was not near as good despite using the same hardware. During the height of the pandemic when I was working from home, my company forced me to switch back to Telus on their dime (I was getting an allowance for my phone previously).

I was doing some moonlighting a few years ago and got a Phone that ran on the Rogers network, I might as well have used a soup can with a string in it... just terrible.

The frustrating thing is that we live on the prairie and can physically see Calgary (city of 1.4 million), we can see the Telus tower from our house, and can see the lights on 2 other towers at night
