Covers 93% of the population?

"Covers 93% of the population?"
Interesting way to spin the fact that the system covers less then 1/3 of the Nation.

"and offer speeds up to 21"
Ah the famous up to slogan, sign up for 21 Mbps, get .01 Mbps while still paying full price - Lovely.

Yup - between Bell/Telus going from CDMA at 98% of the population to HSPA+ at 93% of the population is a significant 'size' difference.

As far as HSPA+ goes, 'as long as you have a datacard' it may make some difference:.
I.e. Robbers/Rogers HSPA+ as posted on HoFo

Here's what 93% gives... nothing in the flyover provinces.

Almost all of Alberta and maritimes are covered... many other areas are not.
