What this does and does not tell you.These are licensed radio sites from ISED’s spectrum database — where carriers are permitted to transmit. It is not measured coverage. A site three kilometres away can be useless if it is behind a rise or its antennas point elsewhere, and a distant one on a tall tower with clear line of sight can be perfectly good. Whether a booster will work at your address comes down to what actually reaches your roof, which is a survey, not a calculation. ISED spectrum licence data, fetched 2026-09-11.
What the work looks like in Villa Nova
Being nearly eight kilometres from the closest mast is the clearest case there is for not reaching for a booster first. There may be enough to amplify and there may not, and it needs measuring rather than assuming. What is certain is that there is fibre, and WiFi calling over a wired connection works regardless of what the nearest tower is doing.
The Rogers build that reached here was aimed specifically at underserved rural roads, so a lot of these properties went from very little to a gigabit in one step. The gap between a fast house and an unconnected shop shows up within weeks of that happening, and it is the most common reason people out here call.
