Telecoms in Canada

[AlvinofDiaspar]

Ya, I have seen that map or versions of it before. It's a little dated since Bell has already said they are "reevaluating" the scope of the project 9cool that they get todo that after receiving public money under an existing set of terms). It seems that some areas no longer have enough customers (translate: they've dinked around long enough that customers have given up and gone with other providers, even though they are not considered 'affordable'; i.e. Starlink). Our road is listed as 'in progress', so I guess flagging tape on poles for a couple of years is progress. I looked where our daughter and SIL live and a stranded part in the middle is shown as 'completed'. I'm sure the residents there would be surprised to know that.

In an normal world, you agree to do something, do it, then get paid. Not when governments are involved it seems.

It would be interesting to see the exact terms of the agreement with the government - and whether the payment is stepped to performance.

I recently dumped Rogers and now they're spamming me with calls begging me for business.

*UPDATE*

They just called me again to bug me and follow up on a call from last week - the guy on the phone actually had the nerve to give me a guilt trip that I was difficult to get a hold of the last few days (as if I owe them my availability), and when I said that I had decided to remain with my current service provider, he immediately hung up on me How incredibly rude - for this harrassment and behaviour alone, I would have to be desperate to ever utilize their services again.

**** YOU, ROGERS.

Just tell him you can't plausibly be as difficult to get hold of as a customer rep who can actually resolve customer issues without being put through elevator music for a couple of hours.
