4 edits | [Wireless] LTE in Carp - arguement with Rogers So Rogers LTE map shows Carp to be in the thick of LTE land. I spark up my handy-dandy iP5 only to see 3G at best. Yes, I get LTE in Kanata, Nepean, Ottawa and other areas, the issue is not my phone as Rogers was so kind as to point out.  I made inquiries with Rogers higher-ups who assure me LTE is indeed, functioning in Carp blah blah blah.... so have countered with:
1. Change your LTE Maps, otherwise, that's false advertizing.
or
2. Light Carp up already!
LOL
So I'm curious, does anyone here actually receive LTE, in Carp, as Rogers publicly states via her Maps and verbally? I have driven far and wide throughout god's country and have never seen LTE light up here. I'm hoping not, so it's just a matter of fixing the transmitter and NOT Rogers thinking a 200sq/foot area can be considered as a town being LTE served.

| I'm located near Richardson Side Road and William Mooney which is west of Carp Road. Not exactly Carp village but not in the city either. We picked up a LTE Rocket Hub on Saturday and it's been on LTE permanently. It actually works surprisingly well. |

| Thanks gleonard. Yeah, I'm smack dab in the heart of Carp Village, you're several miles away. Good to know, will inform Rogers to push the signal north-east. LOL |

Looks like Carp is on the fringe of LTE coverage. If you disable the other overlays, you can see that.
Rogers map was probably a tad more generous. I really doubt they drive around and measure signal strenght in various areas... It's likely some computer model. |
|
| That's right HiVolt but I'm smack in the middle of the dark purple LTE. I mentioned this to Rogers and they state I should be on it. I believe deceptive marketing is a huge reality with this LTE coverage. |

kudos:17 | How far do you have to drive to get LTE coverage? |
|
| I have to drive to Kanata, although I didn't try where gleonard lives because I don't ever go that way. Either way, several miles! |

Point being, I'm in the heart of Carp, The Village, where 90% of residents live. If Rogers wants to state Carp is lit, it better not be just a fringe part. That's just wrong and unethical IMHO! |

Yes, Rogers map is generous ... even with the transmitter tower on 2nd line coverage for GSM in the Dunrobin Road corridor is spotty. I think that tower is to cover the area between 2nd line and Carp Ridge. |

It's the Rogers business model.
Say you have coverage, and charge appropriately, when it comes out that the paid for coverage is not available, point to some GOTCHA clause. |

Okay, so I took the long-about route into Kanata and around your 'hood because it was bugging the crap out of me that you found LTE in Carp, right on the fringe but technically Carp nonetheless:
Nope! Still no LTE right at the corner of Richardson and William Mooney.
Yes, LTE is enabled:

I carry down Carp Rd to Hazeldean and within 1 kilometre east on Hazeldean, LTE kicks in for my trip throughout Kanata, albeit only in certain areas. Bridlewood was spotty etc...
Why the hell does LTE work on your Rocket Hub? Perhaps the answer lies within!  |

| Boy you're having no luck at all. There is an outage on Rogers LTE since last night. We noticed it at 6:30pm. It's still not working this morning. Problems have been reported across the country.
As for the devices - 2 Windows PCs, a Linux box and using the Wi-fi functionality from the Rocket hub for 2 Android tablets.
Before the outage we set the Rocket Hub to only use LTE instead of automatically selecting the network. Not sure how much of a difference it made. When we initially plugged the thing in it picked up LTE immediately (and it was set to automatic at that stage). |

Anyways, your LTE is BACK:
I'll swing around into the boonies later today to test it out. |

Wow, LTE starts shortly before William Mooney, you lucky sonzagun!

I guess Rogers covers the areas she won't for cable Internet / TV. Anyways, nice to know some small part of Carp gets LTE, but I stand by my statement that Rogers is misrepresenting its LTE coverage when 90% of the population cannot receive it!  I would even call it consumer fraud!  |
