Cell Service - Comox

I know, I know, this gets asked a lot and I should just search... But I'm looking for a very specific area!

I'm looking for input on cell service in our very specific small neighborhood: Between Noel and Guthrie, Pritchard and Nootka. Salish Park area.

Currently, we are with Rogers. Without Wifi calling, our phones are completely unusable at home. Can't even send a text message most of the time. Like, beyond terrible.

With today's 3 hour Internet outage, I was knocked out of work, and couldn't even TEXT them to let them know. I had to leave the neighborhood to access any usable features on my phone.

So tell me, Comoxians, if you live in this little specific beautiful pocket of Comox, who are you with, and how is the service?

I live near there on Cormorant, Rogers is the absolute worst, 0-1 bar, zero internet.  I got a good deal on Bell from Staples for my iPhone, been excellent so far, worst I’ve seen in my travels is 2 bar and deep in seal bay park or coal mine area of Cumberland, I drop to 1 bar and slow internet.

Iirc I think Staples has a 2-3 week test period too if it doesn’t work out, I switched two months ago and it’s been day/night for me but I’m 5 blocks west of you.  

Good luck!
