That looks like a cell tower list not a list of alternatives.
Mobile network operators (MNOs)
Nearly everything is owned by Bell, Telus, Rogers and if you travel roam they end up being your national roaming option with most of the other options.
An orange is not an orange according to your comment.
What do you mean it’s not a list of alternatives when it shows towers owned by different operators pinned on the map. Vidéotron has a lot of towers and so does Sasktel.
Yes, when you travel outside your area the other operators do pay fees to the big three but it is still less overall than what you would pay directly as the other telecoms have more bargaining power thus bringing down the costs for everyone.
Also the flanker brands owned by the big 3 are:
Rogers: Fido, Chatr.
Telus: Koodo Mobile, Public Mobile.
Bell: Virgin Plus and Lucky Mobile.
Freedom user here, my service got a lot better when Videotron took over Freedom from Shaw. Not saying Shaw did a bad job, but Freedom has always had a reputation among some for poor service coverage (which I’ve personally rarely seen anyway) and after the switch, it became even better.
The big 3 have too much market share at 86%!
We should all switch over to an alternative to have more innovation and to lower prices in the long run.
Would be nice but Freedom coverage sucked asss the last time I used it maybe teo years ago. Haven’t heard of any major improvements so no thanks.
Freedom mobile has much more tower coverage now and when you’re outside of their area they switch you to rogers or bell. So you not losing anything by switching to them. Also they’re building out the new towers quickly nowadays. You can try out Freedom or Fizz. They got good plans.
Let’s foster some competition folks!
-By writing to your mla/mpp demanding a crown corporation telecom
-Vote out the Saskatchewan Party
-Tell your mp to strengthen the CRTC and to support the smaller telecom players
-Switch to a smaller telecom brand such as Sasktel, Vidéotron, Fizz, Freedom Mobile, Lüm Mobile.
How old are you btw? I mean that, we’ve been trying and demanding that for decades. But it got us nowhere. That’s why I’m past asking for stuff, I just had hoped the younger generation wouldn’t go through the same loop and just realize that the system doesn’t work. I had hoped the younger would just jump to revolution. I can’t lead it but I know how to build stuff! Pires, BBQs that can cook a billionaire sized pig, these contraptions that they used to use in France, forget the name.
Anyways I’m ready when young people are
