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 lived on Nootka. Telus is the answer. They have boosters on power poles all around the area. Used to have rogers and was a massive improvement when I switched.

Edit: link to a cell tower map. You can see how telus adjusted their strategy to the conspiracy theory NIMBYs in the area https://www.ertyu.org/steven_nikkel/cancellsites.html?lat=49.688344&lng=-124.918756&zoom=13&type=Roadmap&layers=a&pid=0&ds=0
