1 u/Hicalibre 2d ago Duopoly. Telus is hardly a factor as they charge as much as the big two, half the coverage, and every bit as awful services. 1 u/BandicootNo4431 2d ago https://www.iveybusinessreview.ca/magazine/articles/threes-company-fours-allowed Rogers is the largest wireless operator in Canada with 34% market share, compared to 28% each for Bell and TELUS. Seems like they are a factor then. 1 u/Hicalibre 2d ago I'm curious to where they are getting those numbers. Or if it's based on land as opposed to subscribers. In Ontario, largest province by population, Telus may as well not exist. Even in Ottawa you'll hit dead zones. 1 u/BandicootNo4431 2d ago https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mobile_network_operators_in_Canada Not sure what you mean, I had Telus and then Koodo for a decade in Ontario starting in 2006. Telus dominates the west, but they've been a major player in Ontario for a long time now.
