Here’s a website that shows the alternatives to the big 3: Bell, Rogers and Telus.
Here’s a website that shows the alternatives to the big 3: Bell, Rogers and Telus.
That looks like a cell tower list not a list of alternatives.
Mobile network operators (MNOs)
Nearly everything is owned by Bell, Telus, Rogers and if you travel roam they end up being your national roaming option with most of the other options.
17An orange is not an orange according to your comment.
What do you mean it’s not a list of alternatives when it shows towers owned by different operators pinned on the map. Vidéotron has a lot of towers and so does Sasktel.
Yes, when you travel outside your area the other operators do pay fees to the big three but it is still less overall than what you would pay directly as the other telecoms have more bargaining power thus bringing down the costs for everyone.

The big 3 have too much market share at 86%!
10We should all switch over to an alternative to have more innovation and to lower prices in the long run.
8Would be nice but Freedom coverage sucked asss the last time I used it maybe teo years ago. Haven’t heard of any major improvements so no thanks.
-4Freedom mobile has much more tower coverage now and when you’re outside of their area they switch you to rogers or bell. So you not losing anything by switching to them. Also they’re building out the new towers quickly nowadays. You can try out Freedom or Fizz. They got good plans.

Let’s foster some competition folks!
6Also when you click on the "All Others" on the drop down menu it shows the alternatives brands that have their own towers.
5Fizz often have promos where you accumulate rewards such as monthly rebates after certain milestones. It’s currently costing me $28/mo (+tx) for 20GB after some small rebate. And they do data carry over for a couple of months, so I basically always have 40+GB in bank. I tend to buy my phones upfront when I get a good deal, and keep them until they stop doing the job, or when I don’t or want to change it for whatever reason, I resell/hand down/donate them. Phone plans just keep getting cheaper for me, which is a nice change of pace from most expenses in my life these days… But you have to stop the loop of financing with the Big 3 and getting two year plans, and either financing yourself or ideally saving and paying cash, or some mix of both…
4Boy, so as long as I never leave the GTA I'll be set.
3I have 50GB will Freedom Mobile on Freedom's network or their "Nationwide" network, which is either Bell or Rogers. And the usual Unlimited calling and texting.
All for $35 /mo

Boycott the big 3 by switching to the smaller telecom companies: Sasktel, Freedom, Fizz, Videotron, CityWest, Eastlink, Ecotel, Execulink, Ice, Nexicom, Sogetel, TBayTel
3Rogers owns: Fido, Chatr.
Telus owns: Koodo Mobile, Public Mobile.
Bell owns Virgin Plus and Lucky Mobile.
1Lol Saskatchewan and sasktel. Will have to open in desktop, it's not mobile friendly.
I use public Mobile, but it's owned by Telus.
Teksavvy for Internet.
1I would blame the Saskatchewan Party for that as they trying to ruin the crown corporation by using expensive contractors to do shoddy jobs and then have the customers complain thus the public turning against Sasktel so that the big 3 can swoop and buy all the towers in the province to screw over everyone with price gauging.
7oxiois almost half what Teksavvy charges (Hamilton, 120 down - 10 up $49 vs Teksavvy's $90, albeit they're on limited sale now)
Koodo offers internet in Ontario with similar pricing to oxio.
2Last time I looked teksavvy didn't have good prices for higher speeds, but they have good prices for lower speeds.
