Jim, Its persoanl outrage, I am from Nova Scotia and I design networks for a living. When Rogers works (because they had sufficient redundancy in their backend) and Bell doesn't - its not an argument about coverage. Cellular coverage is actually better in Nova Scotia than in Ohio or North Carolina (where I have lived the past 20 years). However, one of my sisters lived for many years in Inuvik and now lives in Northern Alberta, another lives is Southeast BC - so I get your general 'Canada is big and underpopulated' argument. My outrage is that Bell ruins their coverage map by saving pennies on their back end. It is totally idiotic - the coverage setup is 90% of the cost. All they would have to do is provide regional non-Bell ISP offload and regional based call control to fix most of their issues. I have Enterprise clients with better back ends. John
