Great list of valuable links! Particularly last one referencing post from 2017 briefly explaining how cell network works. Great find.

HI @daducofa   Just want to confirm if the coverage map provided by other members above are sufficient?   Is there any particular area you are interested to know?  

I would say, generally speak, overall PM service is as good as Telus and Bell.  But the fact that we don't have VoLTE might hurt for some odd spots that have no 3G but just LTE

Coverage maps are a good reference point, however the best way to tell how good Public Mobile coverage is in a certain area is if you know someone on the Public Mobile network in that area.

Ask them about network connectivity, any dropped calls, any inability to send/receive them, any data usage issues?  

Don't get me wrong, maps are a good starting point, however actual trusted user experience is 1st hand.

Coverage is the same as Telus. It's the same network and Telus owns Public. Public doesn't have VoLTE and data speeds are slower.
