Yes but.. we have municipal wifi, public libraries, etc, most of which are fortunately not running on Rogers (although admittedly they probably don't have much redundancy in place, here in Montreal, buses use Telus and city wifi is often Bell).
And Rogers broadband is mostly just Ontario?
re:landline, I'd say go a step further, and don't use cell services at all. All my phone calls use Signal or VoIP, sms is routed through VoIP.ms. My cell is data only and costs 15$/month for 3GB (fido/rogers).
I know, I know, some conditions may apply, but I really hate telcos and enjoy finding workarounds. Hopefully this will encourage a discussion about monopolies/redundancy.
You do have a point in general. I wouldn’t put VoIP.ms and redundancy in the same sentence though. Unless they’ve drastically changed their infra, they had a massive 15 days (yes) outage not that long ago because of no redundancy and a poorly architected infra.
