WIND Mobile Tower Map

[Positive Climb]

Hey guys, noticing some of these smaller antennas popping up around Winnipeg. Can somebody ID them please? I've noticed at least 3 recently. Are these WIND?



Thanks

This. My friend wanted to switch to WIND but can't because there's no service at UOIT according to him. That and the fact that WIND's reputation of having crap reception even when using a BlackBerry or Nexus S doesn't help...

I swear if WIND puts a tower close to UOIT/Durham they will get almost all the student to switch to them ... everything for $40+tax is a killer deal for students who are on a tight budget ... let alone the regular joe's around the university who will switch as well !!!!

Do the students care if they have reception inside the buildings on campus?

It appears many of them do, even though I always thought one attends college and university lectures to learn something, not to text, sext and use your Facebook and Twitter accounts . . . . .

well to be honest even Rogers/Bellus do not work well inside some areas of the campus ... so even having a robellus network wont help in terms of signal .... but still I am talking about in general students who are standing out smoking, in dorms, etc ....

You learn to do both eventually if you'd like.

yea and then come back and cry later about your GPA is so low and you have gotten a warning or else you will get kicked out ...

honestly sms's and fb has their own time ... if you are texting and fb during lectures then that person is a nerd/has no life ....

And between classes? When I'm sitting in a room for 15 minutes waiting for a prof? Is that an inappropriate time too?

What about when the prof is teaching incorrect information, and you need some quick way to get a source of accurate information?

When I was in school, I did a lot more with my phone than just shove it down my pants, take a picture, and blast it to the rest of the class... Although joking about this now, that would have been quite amusing.

I texted during lectures, and I didn't have to cry about my GPA. In fact, I did much better than most of my classmates. Just because you are paying attention the entire time during a lecture, doesn't mean you will do really good in the class. Shows how much you truly know about university bud. Also, you show quite the maturity name calling people who are texting and or going on FB while lectures. That obviously is not true.

I have a Bachelor of Engineering from McMaster btw!

Ok, here's my next question then. I've seen 3 of these around the city. They look like a WINDish kind of tower. Can somebody confirm?

Thanks

WIND mono-pole towers look like this:



Hope that clears it up for you.

WIND is also now using a 4 post tower system similar to some of the big 3 locations. If anyone lives near the Niagara region, could you take a photo of their new tower on the QEW @ Jordan Rd? I have ran coveragemapper recently to update the coverage.

Now if only they had a tower along the QEW between Sodom and Netherby we'd be all set.
