With Rogers investing in Starlink.

And I don't trust Telus and Bell neither.

Is there a list of various internet and mobile providers in different regions in the country?

I've been using oxio since I moved back to Ontario, they've been solid (MVNO using Rogers infrastructure). If you want a referral code, let me know and I'll DM you.

They're a wholesaler, there's nothing virtual about their network. Rogers handles connections between end-users and Oxio, nothing further. It's not Rogers internet.

Right... they're using Rogers infrastructure. I guess MVNO usually refers to cell providers, I was using the term to refer to a wholesaler. In any case, it's been great for me.

Yeah, fair. I just often feel the need to make sure people know the difference, since there are some companies that do literally resell Rogers/Telus/Bell/SaskTel/etc services. They're mostly either debt relief companies for customers, or global subcontractors for large companies with offices over the world who pay "one company" for internet, but they really just contract it out to the local provider on the others' behalf.

Oh dang, I wasn't aware of that. That sounds at least as scummy as Rogers/Bell. Good to know.

Well, the debt relief companies are pretty scummy. I don't see anything wrong with "pay us to handle your internet worldwide", though.
