Montreal Network Update, Part IV

By david | Posted July 9th, 2010

Once again, thanks for your comments regarding areas that need improved coverage. In addition to adjusting existing sites based on your feedback, we also added new sites this week, which improved the coverage in the following areas:

  • Saint-Laurent (Côte-Vertu Blvd & Cavendish Blvd)
  • Ahunstic (Emile-Journault Ave and Papineau)
  • Anjou (Les Galeries Anjou Blvd and Beaubien St East)
  • Rivière-des-Prairies (Perras Blvd and Armand Bombardier Blvd)
  • Lachine (south of Hwy 20, near 46th Ave)
  • LaSalle (south of Parc Angrignon)

We also have sites scheduled to go up next week that will improve coverage in the following area:

  • Côte-des-Neiges and Queen-Mary

We’re going to work to provide updates on Friday of every week in future weeks. We receive a report from the Network team late on Thursdays and this will allow us to keep you informed as to what we’ve accomplished during the week.

Please keep sending us your comments, and we’ll keep working to improve.

Thanks again for your patience.

    Hey, I was just wondering why

    * Saint-Laurent (Côte-Vertu Blvd & Cavendish Blvd)
    * Ahunstic (Emile-Journault Ave and Papineau)
    * Anjou (Les Galeries Anjou Blvd and Beaubien St East)
    * Rivière-des-Prairies (Perras Blvd and Armand Bombardier Blvd)
    * Lachine (south of Hwy 20, near 46th Ave)
    * LaSalle (south of Parc Angrignon)

    are still being updated because they were suppose to be updated a long time ago.

    On your blog you posted a 2nd update saying this:

    * Rivière-des-Prairies: July 1st-5th
    * Côtes-des-Neiges/Queen Mary: improved today, June 28th
    * Côte-Vertu: July 1st-5th
    * Ahunstic: July 1st-5th

    Why aren’t those areas already updated?

    I posted two days ago in the last network update about terrible call quality and dropped calls… no response form Public Mobile. Any answers available? I was told that the poor reception was the cause of the lousy call quality.

    H1L needs help bad, still at less than 1 bar.

  6. Steven says:

    Yup, Montreal East from autoroute 25 still has no or minimal reception.
    Anywhere close to Notre-Dame street is not still working in the east end.

    Queen Mary / Decarie ?
    The salesman at PublicMobile store went to the window to be able to activate my phone today.
    I leave 450 m from Queen Mary / Decarie, no indoor signal and outside signal is unusable.
    Please improve coverage in this area.

    Hello,
    I have no reception in my apartment. This kinda of bad right now since I’m looking for job… :S. I have to walk all the way to the metro station to get a 1 sometimes 2 bar reception.
    Judging from other postings the whole area under highway 20 is not working. Can you please let me know when this will be fixed?

    My coordinates are:

    Rue Lacasse, Saint-Henri,
    Montréal, QC H4C 2Z2

    Regards,
    Marek Gola

    return period until July 13th for those customers that activated their phone prior to July 6th. This means that if you are unhappy with our service, you can return the phone with the original invoice and packaging and we’ll provide you with a full refund.

  12. Mike says:

    Don’t wait just return your phone. I waited for cdn to improve but it hasn’t up to now.
    They said it would be update two weeks ago, then one week ago and so on. I wasn’t born yesterday goodbye PM

  13. Montys says:

    Hi,
    Still no signal 50 m north from Parc Angrignon
    H8N 2Z5

  14. Azadi says:

    Let s forget where the reception is bad, voice is choppy, dropped connection…
    Anybody could confirm in which areas the service is reliable indoor and outdoor.
    Toronto turned on the network one month before Montreal, and they have only problems

  15. Dustin says:

    Downtown Montreal?

  16. Van says:

    I guess we just have to hang in there. I am sure they are working hard to better the network and coverage.

  17. Steven says:

    North side of H1L are in the east is slowly starting to be ok.

    But SOUTH side of H1L (near Notre-Dame) still zero or no reception.

  18. Dan says:

    Update: Last Friday the signal became acceptable.
    On the South(to Cote St-Luc blvd) side only of my building I get 4 lines but in the building and on North side I get only one line. The phone is usable however the signal can be improved. No signal in the basement.
