Routers exist but the big 3 didn’t want to pay a fee to connect to them and provide service, Iirc Freedom is the only company that does. They didn’t like that the TTC didn’t go with one of them to install the infrastructure. Either way cell service isn’t going to do anything to prevent this.
What we’re seeing here are symptoms of larger societal problems. People are being pushed to their limits and we refuse to find social services. This is the result.
Oh absolutely we need to fund social services better, but in the meantime can we at least push (our reps to push) the Big 3 to allow people to stay connected.
It won't fix the problem, but that's not what I'm talking about when I say we should be able to call or text on the subway.
Rogers just bought the freedom tech so if you're on Rogers you'll get internet in a few months.
