which provider still uses GSM network in Ontario?
Does anyone know which provider still uses GSM network in Ontario? I know Rogers still has some towers, but any other?

And it may be unusable even sooner than that - since that article makes it pretty clear that Rogers has no interest in investing too much in it - sorry, I mean "it may be hard to get replacement parts" :PIanBrantford wrote: ↑ Oh no! I won't be able to use my tiniest phone in a couple of years.
Having a 2G backup phone in my watch pocket has turned out to be very handy a couple of times, as the lack of others using it gives a clear channel in crowded areas, when 3G and LTE are a bit clogged.

How often is 3G / LTE overcrowded? I get the odd garbage voice connection where I must hang up and redial, but doubt 2G GSM would really be worth the hassle the odd time that happens.IanBrantford wrote: ↑ Oh no! I won't be able to use my tiniest phone in a couple of years.

It happened at a busy OnRoute stop a couple of months ago (remote location with likely limited total bandwidth, and a couple hundred people), and there are spotty problems at big events like last weekend's ComicCon.titaniumtux wrote: ↑ How often is 3G / LTE overcrowded?
