Bell, MTS, Rogers etc?
10/23/2016 at 10:35 AM

Please share your experience with these networks. Time for phone/tablet upgrades at our house, and wondering if it is time for a network change to.

Does Bell really have better coverage, based on what they say they do? What problems are you having with your carrier? What is best about your carrier?

What about coverage north of Brandon. When my nephew was out he had no service with bell. That was a few years ago.

Bell has agreements to roam on the Rogers / MTS network, but speeds are significantly reduced. The agreement likely came in after your nephew was here.

Rogers and MTS essentially have the same coverage, as they share towers, except for in a few specific northern communities where there may be MTS service but no Rogers.

Been with Bell for 3 years never an issue when not in their area. Just switches to extended, a little slower if you are wanting to use data but have never been cutoff! I shopped around when I was looking to upgrade my phone and Bell had the best plan and price for what I was looking for.

MTS will soon Be Over

You may as well look at BELL and see what they have to offer as I believe that MTS will soon be known as BELL MTS once the sale if finalized.

I've been on Rogers for years with very few problems. Plus you get their NHL access for free!
