yup... and it is obvious on the ground too.

my sister's cul-de-sac had 7-8 empty lots in July... 5 are now U/C with SOLD on the signs.

Hey, Hamilton's coverage is shoddy at best, and Winnipeg got the shaft as well.

I would hope that they would not leave Edmonton out. I thought I saw a picture in the paper of a street view car

But unlike us, they don't even have Bird's Eye view (Bing Maps) on!

Mine in t-minus 2 yrs if things go according to plan. Although, I saw one of these (2.0 quattro edition) in a parking lot on campus today, and wanted it immediately.

Just another way Edmonton was snubbed.

Rogers also excluded us in their roll out of their new high speed network

http://www.rogers.com/web/content/wirele...work_0909_Eng-_-Network_v2_HOM_PRE_slot1

They did the roll out in Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal. Go figure. Sorry to get off topic it just bugs me

Winnipeg and Quebec also didn't get included then, other cities that are often forgotten. We're not alone on this.

Well I think any city with a CMA over 1 million people would have been included. Not to take away anything from Winnipeg or Quebec but I would hate for Edmonton to be grouped into these cities

Rogers had the resources available to roll it out to the 5 largest cities in Canada. We're #6
