Windsor coverage update

[athlon866]

I've recorded wind coverage while visiting Windsor. Looks like Windsor towers are way much better than Toronto and Kitchener. They are all showing as "H" instead of "4G". Ping is around 80. Download and upload are both above 2m. Please check coverage for more info.

Well the down/up speeds would be expected to be much better than the speeds elsewhere since the load on the towers is little to none.

I've been paying attention to the coverage mapper sites and it seems to be going slowly but surely. If somebody wants to send me Android phone with a Wind SIM I'd be glad to do some mapping myself :P

I don't know what phone you have, but the H/4G difference is meaningless. H means HSPA or HSPA+. 4G, on WIND, would be HSPA or HSPA+. My Galaxy Nexus displays H for HSPA+, which is the best WIND has to offer.

"H" and "4G" are the SAME THING.

Yes, I get it. I know it's the same thing, but I did notice in GTA I only get 200K upload speed while in Windsor I got 2M. I'm not sure if it's because I'm the only one using WIND or something else...

Niagara shows 4g I bet and gives 2m uploads

It is possible to get 2Mb/s a second upload in Toronto as well. It all depends on the time of day and the tower your connected to. At home I can get 2Mb/s upload and 5Mb/s download without issue but the speedtest have to be done after 2-3 am when no one is using the network.

Every time I go to Windsor I get a text welcoming me to the US. I get this text even though I usually only stay in south Windsor.

So Windsor now has some coverage? I was in Windsor the weekend of the 28/29th and did not see a home zone.

Check the coverage mapper. Unfortunately I did not drive a lot within Windsor. You may want to manually select your network first.

I just came back from a week long trip to Windsor, the Wind signal was pretty almost full-bars wherever I went (Windsor downtown, south end, Tecumseh, etc.) I was quite pleasantly surprised that I got Wind Home there!

Was also in Windsor over the Victoria Day weekend. Had Wind Home coverage down the first base line at Comerica Park on a HTC Radar. Never was able to pull in Rogers from those seats in prior seasons.

That's interesting but I have only seen 4G on the wind 9900. Perhaps the towers that display H+ could be better?

As far as I can tell, every WIND tower supports HSPA+.

[dcorreia]

H+ on a blackberry is just a gimmick. It's the same thing as 3G or 4G icons. I've seen it say H+ when it's not even supported.
