I took a look at the Montréal/Québec covereage map.
http://www.fido.ca/carto/PopupMapMtlQuebec.jsp?lang=en

It overlays Fido's original coverage to that of Rogers's digital and
analogue coverage.


Looking at the Lachute to Mont-Tremblant area, the map doesn't look
realistic at all, and at Arundel, the Rogers coverage is the same as
that of Fido (eg: you catch it from the St-Jovite/Tremblant towerfrom
two specific spaces just outside town. Note that Fido doesn't list
coverage as far as Arundel even though it does (barely) reach it.

Roger's map of Québec at:

Is equally optimistic as what Fido says on its web site, although with
far less detail. West of Tremblant, Rogers pretends to have service well
beyond the 117, but in essence, about 2-3kmn west of it, coverage
disapears due to mountains. (except if you are at the right spot with a
few square metres and right altitude in a mountain, and is essentially
the same coverage as Fido (from the tremblant antennas).


Does anyone know if there are more realistic coverage maps for Rogers ?


It would be really nice to have antenna locations for rural areas to
judge what the coverage is really like.


Note: I just spend much time trying to get some maps for Cingular and
Tmobile and their web sites are much worse. One tries to feed a flash
file a "text/plain".
