Best Cell Phone Company for travel in Canada
Which Canadian cell phone company offers good prepaid data plans? Is Campground Wi Fi prevalent?
Forum Discussion
While campground WiFi may not be available everywhere, most/all communities will have it available for free. A number of years back the Canadian Government put Wifi into every community from tiny on up. It is usually found in one of the town buildings be it the library, town hall, etc. normally works well in the parking lot outside. I can't remember ever going over two days without having Internet access.
Other places, such as schools, churches hotels/motels and other semi public facilities, tend to leave their WiFi running over their wireless routers 24 hours a day. If they don't want me and others using their connection in the evening they should shut it down when they go home. LOL
There is a fiber optic cable running along side the Alaska Hwy for most of the distance in Canada. But I understand the cost to businesses along the highway is somewhat pricy and most roadhouses only use it for their credit card machines, etc.
If I really needed a phone in Canada, I would just buy a prepaid burner at one of the outlets in Canada. We just turn our US phones off while in Canada and use the free WiFi available.
