However, after the recent 3G outage that lasted days, I'm afraid to say Telus and Bell are better simply because they have not yet experienced anything like this. Lucky for Rogers, the survey was conducted long before this outage (convenient eh?). As for the last statement Robbers makes... the only reason they have as many customers is because Canadian's had no other choice for GSM -- don't worry... we'll prove this to them as competition continues to roll in.

Rogers i get 4-5 Bars inside my mouse, Telus 0-2 bars<br>So for my area on which i live , Rogers is the clear winner for me.

No dropped calls? I've never had a dropped call that I can ever think of, when I had Rogers, Solo and now Telus. When I did have Rogers over the year about 5-6 times I'd go to make a call and it would say immediately "Call Failed". I was just in the elevator yesterday with my friend and then in the parking garage, I had 3 bars on Telus HSPA+ and his Rogers 3G phone said no service. I think all these tests are stupid there's too many variables to prove anything. First you need to use the exact same handset, so lets say iPhone or BB Bold to keep things fair. Then you need to be standing side by side and make the same call. The issue here though is that cell networks aren't all on the same tower, so I could be standing downtown and be 15 meters away from a Rogers tower, but 150 meters away from Telus, or have a building in between and so on. There's just so many things that can get in the way to add variables in. What constitutes reliability? No dropped calls?
