Coverage in S.W. Calgary Improved Yet? Light Red Vs. Dark Red on the Coverage Maps?

[markhsa]

I am wondering if the coverage has improved in the far S.W. ( end of Bow trail/Wentworth ) yet? It was very spotty a couple of months ago.
I see on the Wind coverage maps now that there is a red/covered area in two tones of Red in Calgary? Is the darker red supposed to mean something?

I only see red (Wind Home) and yellow/orange (future coverage). Are you talking about the home zone isn't surrounded by future coverage and the border is red?

I think they have abandoned calgary for the time being. They can roll out in three new cities but they cant put up few more towers in calgary.

crazy. How can they expect to retain customers like that in Calgary.

I don't think this is true. I saw them doing some work at the library tower at the U of C.

I'm sure they're still doing work. They don't necessarily have to put up new towers (or antennas) to increase coverage either.

They don't plan to with the lack of population

But serious though, they are still working on the network there. This coming from someone I know that's building/tweaking the actual network in Calgary.

Admittedly, WIND isn't good at updating their maps to show these "updates" or "reconfigurations" but then, would you really want them to effectively "tweeting" each and every change? Then people would complain they are wasting time on getting the message out for each update as opposed to focusing on what they are doing.

I know it's repetitive but maybe WIND isn't for some people right now. That's the beauty of no contract. I mean, I personally held out and I am just now switching to WIND. It is what it is.

I'm not so sure about it being a waste of time. Given the location of all their towers, the orientation, position, power levels, etc. (i.e., stuff they should all have in a database), you just need to run it all through an algorithm to generate an estimated coverage map.

I can't imagine they're doing it any other way right now, so I don't think it would be much work for them to update it more regularly.
