Here's a rural location challenge for Telus!

I'm still waiting for coverage in Downtown Vancouver's Dunsmuir tunnel.

Well at least that would be useful for Alice Kramden!

I'd hate to think what the roaming charges would be on the Moon.

@NFtoBC, I'm curious if anyone here actually knows who Alice Kramden is besides you and me (without using Google!).

@xray Just get the interplanetary travel package to avoid extortionate roaming rates!

 [ @ Xl ] Good stuff 'Xl'  is an issue that so far no "Cellular Factory" not even Apple it's been able to acomplish(What) the fact that users, can't communicate underground. Hey! what I don't get is that - you call rural area at Dunsmuir St. the tunnel is the one, close to VCC -Costco and PacificCenter Mall, isn't it.

You've to be more specific dwo the forum is nationwide, nobody in NF can get the Donsmuir location. Is in VAN-Anyway. Kudos for the link, provided, I've an itching for read the "6-dirty tricks ofthe ITI indusry" Hehee!. That's all..Chao!  "v9"

Yes that's the Dunsmuir tunnel.  It is used by thousands of transit riders everyday going through the core for over 25yrs.   The CLine tunnel has repeaters installed and works great as the train goes through Vancouver.  Why not the Dunsmuir tunnel for so many years?

• can we start by having coverage at the stations?
• Telus has a major office between Stadium and Granville?
• perhaps they are waiting for #TelusDirect?

I just find it ironic that there's coverage for the Moon, there's coverage at Everest.  But we can't get coverage in Downtown Vancouver that's used by countless customers everyday.

Some cases it's not the mobility providers but the City or Translink that blocks the installation of commercial infrastructure in places like tunnels or stations.

Perhaps.... then again the other downtown train tunnel it cross has full cellular coverage. The reception and data bandwidth is BETTER than being above ground.
