WIND Mobile Tower Map

[emmpeethree]

If you want to know how many towers were added in a particular city....

2011-02-01
----------------------
Vancouver: 128 (+6)
Whistler: 2 (+2)
Edmonton: 73 (+0)
Calgary: 98 (+11)
Toronto: 362 (+11)
Ottawa: 93 (+3)

pathetic except for calgary. that's quite an improvement.

I may have unintentionally contributed some misleading data points in South Delta heading towards Point Roberts. My phone reported 1-3 bars of Wind HOME signal significantly south of that last cell tower in Ladner, but when I tried to actually access data or make a call, nothing worked. When I popped in and out of Airplane mode, all it saw afterwards was Wind AWAY.

756 sites, 4522 antennas.

I don't remember how many antennas there were last month, but the number of sites in TAFL hasn't changed.

The antenna count was 4522 last month too

so they aren't expanding during this court ruling process?

Doubtful. They didn't stop building when the CRTC gave them the turn-down the first time. They will continue building despite any government rulings. That's just how they roll.

Well that explains the slower data, etc.

Massive influx of customers, no additional sites to support them.

Just because TAFL hasn't changed doesn't mean there aren't any new sites.

At what point do they show on TAFL? When they're built? active? within ___ days of being active?

[mapleleafs89]

Where does TAFL get their information from?

Sometimes months after they're active, sometimes months before construction starts. It's a reasonable indicator of current and planned tower locations, but I wouldn't draw those types of conclusions based on one month of data.

WIND provides it to them.

Thanks for the clarification... but also thanks for updating your map. I look forward to it every month.

I have to agree. Your doing a good job with the map.
