    Which brings me back to my original point, that the entire network has not been upgraded.
    Saying that the network is upgraded because the towers have been upgraded is like putting performance tires on a Pinto and calling it a Ferrari...

    As a customer, I don't give a damn about technicalities or marketing, I care about the end result.

    I interpreted "entire network" to mean "all cities". And "4G 21Mbps" to mean "HSPA+". If that's not what you meant, then I apologize. But I'm very curious what the bottleneck is. My first guess would be that it's tower placement/density, since anything else should be fairly easy to fix (tower sites are the only thing that take a long time to acquire, right?).

    CRTC should look at all those 4G/Up to 21 MBPS claims. Providers need to provide their real avg speed as that will hurt consumers in their shopping decision.

    HSPA+ Information
    In the AWS/cellular context, TAFL is Industry Canada's list of all base stations in operation, as submitted by the spectrum licensee the month prior.

    The underlying database is Industry Canada's Assignment and Licensing System (ALS)
    A subset of the ALS is published monthly as the Technical and Administrative Frequency Lists (TAFL)
    Real-time access to the AWS/cellular data of ALS is provided by Spectrum Direct's (SD) Geographical Area Search
