And you have just barely enough cell service to send and recieve texts at your house. Then you go somewhere with LTE+ and run a speedtest:
I love living in the sticks, but this hurts. It hurts bad.

Living with 6/1mbit currently, it’s awful indeed.

Living in a brand new building from 2009-2011, in a city, with fiber to the premises, I had 3Mbps down .5 up. Someone made some bad choices, though probably giving exclusive rights to one provider was not a good choice. TV was worse, they only offered DirectTV, and through a third-party, so instead of the normal DirectTV deal where they give you a decent price for a year, and then rip you off, instead you don’t qualify for the initial discount, and they charge and extra $ 10 or $20 for the third-party’s service fee. Good way to encourage cord cutting.

Same. My phone routinely hits 50Mbps, but my home internet is like 25/10. But my mobile is capped at 6GB and home internet 200GB, so...
Doesn't help that the CRTC ruled that this is "good enough".

I don’t understand how you can have shitty cell service in a country like yours. There’s people fucking everywhere, all the time. Apart from the stretches of relative emptiness in the west at least. But that’s similar to our big empty spaces north of the 49th, except ours still have reasonable cell service where there are roads people drive on regularly.

It’s the American Dream at work.... Capitalism at it’s finest! The cell companies make enough money on the big cities, fuck the sticks.

You’d think they’d be able to use their profits to develop networks outside the cities to generate more revenue off a new set of customers, though? And then jack rates with the excuse of higher costs in rural areas, and then balance them across the board by increasing urban pricing to match, and then roll in the profit.
I mean, it's what the Canadian carriers did...
