Here’s the latest news from our network team and what they have accomplished in the last week.
The Montreal network had a number of neighbourhoods and areas see improved coverage. They include:
- Dorval (east of the airport): intersection of Griffith St. and McArthur St., Onesime-Gagnon.
- Riviere-des-Prairies: on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Blvd. near Perras Blvd, and on Armand Chaput Ave. (south of RDP).
- St-Pierre City & Montreal-West: Sherbrooke St. West and Westminster Ave.
- North of Verdun: Rozel St. between Charlevoix St. and D’Hibernia St.
- Bout-de-I’lle: Notre-Dame St. East and Raoul Jobin St.
- LaSalle (south west)
- Saint-Laurent (west of Vertu): Muir St.
In Toronto, the site which experienced a minor construction delay went live earlier this week and will cover the area north of Downsview Park.
Thanks for all your blog comments in the past week – we really appreciate them.

Please keep the comments coming, we’ll do our best to incorporate your feedback into how we build and tweak the network.
