Is it just me, or does #RogersCommunications have more major outages than the other major telecos in Canada? I may just be biased because my ISP #Startca uses their infrastructure so i notice it more, but they do seem to go down across a broad region disturbingly often. Also wish start would make a Mastodon, or at least Bluesky account rather then solely one on the hellhole that Twitter has become.

Wholesale access is an important tool but with #Bell and #TELUS buying up the bigger independents like #Distributel, #StartCA & #Altima, the wireline landscape, at least from an outsider's perspective is starting to look like the wireless landscape all over again...

The #Big3 #Telco in #Canada have been quietly buying up small #ISPs. Last year, #Bell quietly bought out #Distributel & #VMedia. It is now reported that #Telus has bought out #Altima & #StartCA.

How many more small #ISPs will they gobble up? Hopefully #TekSavvy wouldn't get swallowed up next...
