That's weird--maybe they changed it, as of a few days ago you could log in for an hour without twitter or for thirty days with it. There was a ton of public outcry a few months ago when it went twitter-only, so they added the one hour twitterless login and made twitter give you 30 days...are you sure you didn't miss the non-twitter option? People were pissed last time they did that.

Crosslinx is now digging large holes on the northwest and southwest corner of Bathurst and Eglinton. Might be for utilities relocation.. Or maybe the station goes in the hole.

Probably a little bit of both?

Well, that's a new idea for a locally-made app!

Incidentially, they've introduced a 30-day Twitter logon process, so now my devices automatically connect everytime the subway train stops.

On a moving subway train, this doesn't provide enough time to surf a website, but long enough to load a web bookmark, or send/receive email, Facebook posts, tweets, or texts/iMessages. I now check the "Immediate Departures From Union Station" bookmark for GO schedules (to find out which platform I need to go to) while I'm sitting on the subway.

The wifi is frustrating. I don't know who deserves more blame, the TTC or the big 3 telecom, for the fact that we don't get reception in the subway. Desperately trying to reconnect through the logon page and getting 2 seconds of wifi during each stop is infinitely worse than not having any internet at all.

The twitterless option doesn't work for me. I click on it and it says "you have connected!" but my phone disagrees. I can't wait for the stupid twitter page to disappear so I can use the wifi again, since I'd rather eat a bowl of cobwebs than get a twitter account.

Good thing I'm with Wind Mobile.

I would rather drink bleach than sign up to the big cyan canary.

I wish for cellular reception from the three major telecoms in underground stations.

 

[Dan416]

I had Wind and Mobilicity. I don't miss either. I was with Koodo which was good, but when they wouldn't give me a plan offered by both them and Fido they said then switch to Fido, so I did. And I don't regret the move. It was actually returning to Fido after many years

I haven't seen any pics of the tunnelling online anywhere. Are there any?

I tell ya...Is there one of us here wondering why the hell this wasn't happening twenty years ago?

I have a colleague who would come to work on GO Stouffville from Kennedy who is currently unwillling to go downtown and come back up to mid-town and jog east over to DVP. I have another who buses down from Caledonia and Eglinton to Dufferin Station rather than bus it straight across to Yonge and Eg and then catch another bus. I think this thing is a hit.

Knowing the Big Three well enough, they'd probably bill you a $20 surcharge for subway coverage or consider it roaming. Thank goodness there's an affordable alternative on the market. A relatively few instances of poor reception in certain areas is not enough reason for me to shell out up to $80 per month more to the Big Three than what I pay to Wind.

Not everyone pays $80/month on the big 3. Before the CRTC forced 2 year contracts, the big 3 used to have some pretty great plans. I'm on a grandfathered plan for $50/month with Telus, which gives me much better coverage and speed than Wind ever would.

It's legal here, and it's being designed into the Crosstown.

The Queens Quay and Cherry Street right-of-way were designed and supposed to have "grass" on them, but it didn't happen. Why? Must be "illegal" if the EMS and fire department says so. City Council could have forced having grass on the right-of-way, but didn't.
