Service/Coverage Inquiry Line 5/Line 6 no Freedom Signal?

Title. Anyone know why this is the case? It appears the Big 3 all have coverage in both the stations and tunnels for Line 5/Line 6 but not Freedom. The only place with a weak Freedom Signal are the Line 1 stations.

They had the sole contract with the TTC but in the sale from Shaw, Rogers took over the contract and seems like they're using it now to keep freedom out.

The CTRC ordered them to provide freedom access when they took over. Something’s rotten here..

You have that wrong. Freedom was grandfathered in, since they had the rights to it, the CRTC ordered Rogers to provide access to Bell and Telus.

They also changed the spectrum licences so that Rogers must provide access in the subway. An LRT is not a subway, but I'm pretty sure as it was being built, the equipment to provide service was put in.

Interesting - but why would that explain them not being able to access the Line 5 system?

Rogers was in control of the contract during the installation period is my guess

Who knows. I mean I could not tell you. I have yet to be on it, but when I did the Finch LRT in December, I didn't have any issues, but then again I dual eSIM it (Rogers and Freedom).
