I'm with Rogers and the only place I've ever had a problem is in the the basement of TSH. Is your reception bad everywhere on campus?

yeah, i along with half on macinsiders cant seem to do anything on the network ie: text, call

I has iphone, reception is fine. I used to have a problem with having to restart my phone if it ever lots its signal, but that was fixed with updating the software.

Yeah there have been a few threads on macinsiders about this issue. I myself got all my texts a few hours late yesterday just as I left mac. I haven't bothered complaining to rogers because I don't think its a reception thing (I always have full bars anywhere on campus) so I doubt they will do anything about it :/

Its the Mac Bubble:o) I had a problem with this last semester thi semester im not on campus that much so i cant say, but im sure the problem still exists

i always have full bars and the guy said GET MORE PEOPLE TO CALL, please make a phone call it'll take like 10 minutes, isn't it worth getting a ****in text message when your expecting one?!

What can they do though, even if more people call how will they fix the problem?

I've honestly never even had a problem with my reception on campus...

I am with Fido and have the same problem. I have complained to them numerous times and they tell me there is no problem because I have full reception, and it is another network's problem. I went to a Fido store and the guy said I can switch my contract to Rogers without a cancellation fee, but I would have to buy a new phone... which doesn't help because Fido is owned by Rogers and use the same towers.

This year I am living on campus, so this is an ongoing problem of texts coming in hours late, sometimes not at all and not receiving calls.

Rogers is the only carrier with towers on campus (hospital roof). I've had 4 bars in the service tunnels in the BSB sub-basement. The problem isn't Rogers, check your handset.

nope ive had problems with rogers as well, mostly during peak hours, on two different handsets. I've also called many times about it and they said that they need more people to call in and complain about it

I'm Fido. (Y)

+with

wow coincidence

I called them Monday night yelling at them about the EXACT SAME THING.
rogers.
i posted a thread about this before.
she was like to me "the school is probably blocking you guys. we don't hear from mcmaster students really sand it seems like there's full reception everywhere. she tried to get me to upgrade my phone and i was just like...no"
i had a thread earlier about it and other rogers customers said they had called in too but to like...no success.

I HAVE SIGNAL all the time.
but even if i have signal phone calls dont go out, come in. texts don't get received. etc.
if i'm paying for a service they have to do something about it.

you are definitely not the ONLY person to have called them from campus. it just seems that they're ignoring what we're telling them slash I guess they don't really keep a record of all the "mcmaster complaints"

definitely not the headset either, as soon as i leave campus i'm fine.

i'm planning on switching to the fido network as soon as i can (even if it's technically owned by rogers...)
or at least I as until i saw mfm12's comment
and now i'm freaked out.

I would definitely not recommend Fido. I am just in first year and have only been in Hamilton for less than a full year, but I have been having this problem for months. When I go somewhere for the weekend it works fine, and you can tell as you are leaving Hamilton and things get faster, or slower as you get closer. It's just here that this happens, it works fine at home or any other city I have been to.
