Your internet and mobile phone service kicks the UKs arse.

Oh no, oh dear everything no. Maybe in a few cities sure, but where I am I literally have no functioning internet anymore (they let the lines degrade below 1 Mbps) and have massive patches where cell phones don't work at all (love when I hit a antelope and have to stand on the roof of my car to maybe get enough signal to call a tow).

Like no joke we have the worst and most expensive telecom in the developed (and a lot of the developing) world.

I should have considered the fact that I was always within an hour or so of Toronto.

The GTA is not really indicative of Canada at this point. It is the center of the universe after all...

[–] SouthEndSunset@lemm.ee 1 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

No, appreciated. I had heard good things though.

Maybe from Telus/Rogers/Bell media. Its an issue really, the pro Canadian telecom propaganda is very much a thing here. I am told I have "great internet available" even where I am and then if I try to actually get it they ether say never mind or try and give me a cell modem. I am not alone on this ether, its a major issue.

To be fair two cans and a piece of string kicks the UKs arse when it comes to telecommunications.
