Good spot! Hopefully someone will get these mapped on coverage mapper. If I'm really unlucky, I'll end up working at the cancer centre in Windsor this fall. It'll be nice to have coverage in time!

Hopefully everything is okay and that you don't end up there/get better!

Take courage, my friend! Depending on the type you have, it can be beaten.
It happened to me - thank God!

Hopefully it doesn't get to that point, be as positive as you can be.

To to the topic, I was wondering when we'd see some info about towers in Windsor and there it is.
As much as I like Wind expanding to new zones, it would be nice for them to atleast connect some of their close zones together such as Toronto and K/W and Barrie at the same time.

Most can be defeated! Have courage and patience!

For now, these could just be microwave locations and it's possible that these locations won't become full cell sites that help with coverage. Still, putting up even a microwave site is an indication that the physical process of a network build has sarted for Windsor.

Oh god this is embarrassing... serves me right for writing like a careless idiot.

I'm studying radiation therapy, but thank you for your kind words! It was never my intention to mislead you, as cancer is not something I joke about. I'm hoping to end up working in London or Kitchener in the fall.

Oh thank god. You had me worried. =×

This is awesome but, like Winnipeg, only two towers. Hopefully we see more in the near future.

So far its looking like Peterborough will be first to launch, Kingston Second, Victoria third (to be honest they're probably going to try for the same day for these). Then Winnipeg and Windsor. But after that they will have Mission, Maritimes, and Saskatchewan.

PLUS all of those other Areas like St. Thomas, Fort Erie, Belleville, that entire 401 coverage as promised...

I thought you meant that if you were unlucky you would get cancer and wind up in Windsor, where you will probably die. Then again, that's probably my exceptionally high opinion of Windsor talking.

On the other hand, if you did end up in Windsor you could pay the mortgage on a really nice house for less then you'd pay in rent in either London or Kitchener. If you are making a good buck and want to get ahead quick, Windsor is a decent enough place to do it.

Remember that Globalive just hired a bunch of people for a call centre there, so I'll bet that Windsor goes live fairly quickly. You want your employees to use the product that they're supporting.

Fort Erie (along with Port Colborne, NOTL and Town of Lincoln in Niagara) already have coverage. Wind's coverage map of Niagara is nowhere even remotely close to a proper reflection of the true coverage in the region. Hell, I used my Wind data stick in Fort Erie earlier today with no issues at all.

My experience in Fort Erie eight days ago would differ. I "had coverage", but not everywhere.

I made the exact same assumption! LOL. I'm from Windsor and I am used to people putting it down. You are right about housing prices though. The market down there is very cheap.

Also, I'm in Ottawa right now for school and was a WIND customer for two years, but I switched to Koodo a week and a half ago since I figured Windsor's coverage wouldn't be active for another few months. I guess the lesson I learned is to wait longer before I make these kinds of switches. lol -___-
