Xplornet is a small New Brunswick rural ISP, and the only reason we even hear about it here in Manitoba is their Xplore Mobile division that came about from the required BellMTS divestment of a certain percentage of MTS's mobile customers.
That deal included a few years of Xplore Mobile having access to Bell/BellMTS infrastructure (towers, roaming, etc.) while Xplore Mobile establishes its own mobile network. The trouble is, Xplore Mobile (and parent Xplornet) have no such money, and I don't think they've been doing anything of the sort, so that rolling dumpster fire (to quote Adam) should crash spectacularly quite soon.
Consider that much richer Shaw has still done almost nothing with their Freedom Mobile (formerly Wind Mobile).
Probably some other reasons as well, Adam?

You don't want Xplornet to get any bigger - they are a rolling dumpster fire in many different ways. I think more competition is a good thing, yet I'd prefer Xplornet went out of business altogether. Or at least nowhere near here. Thankfully, Starlink will probably accomplish this.
I am still trying someone to rave about Xplornet.
Kind regards, Alberto Abrao
