There has been a few rumours flying around that Shaw is shutting down their Fixed wireless in Haldimand/Hamilton. Now today I got a call that just for simply inquiring about a move of service across the street, their service just got cancelled. They wont move it, and in fact wont even let them keep it at the same address anymore. I do know they stopped new installs some time ago.
Does anyone know anything? -- OptionsDSL Wireless Internet »www.optionsdsl.ca |

Today we found out right from them they are stopping the fixed wireless service, No one can sign up for it, no one can make changes to their service. Cant move the service, etc. I think they are going to let it die. Current subs will remain grandfathered and maintained as far as I understand it. -- OptionsDSL Wireless Internet »www.optionsdsl.ca |

 | I suspect that Rogers will switch as many over to LTE as they can, I don't know where to find what frequency it is using, but I suspect they'll re-use it for something else -- Yes, I am not employed and looking for IT work. Have passport, will travel. |

 | No, but great for interference free backhaul, to setup a cell-site. |
