So, over the summer I've been a bit traveling around Ontario, with the most recent trip to/from North Bay. Another bigger trip was to Tobermory. I've hotspotted my phone over these trips to see how the reception worked (plus, it kept the back-seat choir quiet-er)
On the North Bay trip, we had continuous coverage with a data drop once, on the way back from North Bay. Pretty good.
On the Tobermory trip, Coverage was good until the Bruce peninsula. On the peninsula coverage was spotty at best. Even regular antena reception was spotty... I mean totally dead for 5-10 mins at a time, back for another 5-10 mins... and on and on.
My other phone on FM had similar coverage, with somewhat better coverage on the Bruce peninsula. Ironically, FM's away coverage was better in this regard. Don't know why.
By the way, for anyone that cares. Watching Youtube for ~2.5 hours will suck up about ~800MB of your data. Plan your trips wisely.
