Rogers has announced it recently expanded wireless service in various parts of southern Vancouver Island, specifically in Nanaimo and the Greater Victoria area.
Below are specific areas which gained “more seamless LTE coverage on Vancouver Island to make calls, access the internet, as well as stream video and music:”
“Our customers want wireless access wherever they are, whether it’s to keep in touch with friends and family, or do business on Vancouver Island,” said Perm Jawanda, Regional Vice-President, British Columbia, Rogers Communications, in a press release.
“That’s why we’re investing to make sure they have worry-free, reliable access to our great-performing network in more places. As communities across the province keep growing, we’re going to continue to improve service across British Columbia.”
Rogers also says it has turned on 700 MHz spectrum in these areas as well, allowing signals to extend further to harder to reach areas, such as basements, parkades, elevators and more.
Have you noticed coverage and speed improvements on Rogers and Fido lately in these areas?

Can they also improve coverage at Toronto Union Station during rush hour as well? It’s sooo frustrating when Bell users can use their phones perfectly fine but I’m stuck with no data.
They are saving you from going over on your data. It’s a free service. 😉
To add to that any Loblaws superstore which is where we unfortunately do our shopping. My wife is with Bell and has a working signal and data while I have zero bars. How is that possible?
I had the same experience at different Superstores and some other stores. Roger’s signal is deliberately weak in some areas. I finally stopped using them.
Agreed. Their network is horrible indoors in Toronto downtown. My work phone is a Telus and it works flawlessly at the same spots.
Significant performance issues on 3G all weekend in Nanaimo region.
