I personally am using Rogers 3G. At where I am, sometimes it "feels" like it is faster than using WiFi.
So as long as Rogers keeps up building and expanding its network, we might see 4G in the future like in Japan.]]>Dec 11th 2008 11:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/11/rogers-toots-its-own-horn-and-7-2-mbps-network-update/http://mobile.engadget.com/2008/12/11/rogers-toots-its-own-horn-and-7-2-mbps-network-update/I am no Rogers Wireless cheerleader - far from it in fact - but just looking at their coverage maps available on their website I have to say your comments are not accurate
As of 2006 17% of the Canadian population lived in the Greater Toronto Area which doesn't include Hamilton, Niagara, St Catherines, London, Kitchener-Waterloo, and all the other smaller cities in the vicinity of Toronto covered by the same 3.5g signal.
In fact, most of the Windsor-Quebec City Corridor (the population corridor mostly along the paths of Highway 401 in Ontario and Autoroute 20 in Quebec) is covered by Rogers' 3G signal according to the Rogers maps and over 1/2 of the Canadian population lives along that corridor.
So ya, actually they are providing coverage 3G and otherwise to most of Canada's population just by covering those areas alone, never mind Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver, Victoria, and Halifax amongst others. It just happens to be that the majority of Canada is relatively empty of human inhabitants.]]>Dec 11th 2008 11:45PM
