“If CRTC never made the fuss and actually let you start whenever Wind wanted, was original coverage suppsoed to be just for downtown Toronto only? lol”

I also want to know this too.
Howard’s quote:
“I also asked him what Globalive/Wind was up to during the time from when the CRTC said ‘no go’ to Wind to when they were over ruled. Turns out they were working on increasing their existing coverage .”

Keith made a nice comment:

“And if they were working to increase coverage for 6 weeks, what did they originally intend to launch with???”

The effect on the website at launch was to be expected. You’ve got virtually everyone in Canada attacking the site simultaneously, there’s NO server that can keep up with that kind of demand. Once the demand dropped off, it was back to working.

Chatham? So we can expect a 401 West coverage to Windsor and East to Montreal / 416 to Ottawa coverage. That would be nice.

I am disappointed with how bad the website was at launch. Really made them look amateur.

And if they were working to increase coverage for 6 weeks, what did they originally intend to launch with???

Come on Wind. Step it up!
