Tower Sharing

[LyonsLTD]

Hello Community,

I am testing mobile devices for the company I work for in Sault Ste. Marie ON Canada. I was using the basic $15 plan offered by Public Mobile and want to add data to the plan. This prompted the question what towers does Public Mobile share with other companies in my area? We work with Rogers and Bell for different systems we use and we wanted to figure out who to scale with. 

Any help would be appreciated.  

Regards,

Jordan

"3G Speed" marketing speak = in reality 3.0 Mbps throttle on the LTE network, no throttling up to network maximums on 3G aka WCDMA/HSPA (Often upwards of 10Mbps).

Perfectly adequate for casual email and web browsing, and even 720P streaming youtube...

Public mobile uses telus and bell towers. Data and texting will work on both 4G LTE and the 3G network. Voice calls work on the 3G network only.

PM is owned by Telus.  So, they use the Telus and Bell towers.  Pretty much like Koodo
