Does anyone get internet reception on the Canada Line?

I ride the canada line to work and back and it pisses me off when i go inside the tunnel then i have no more internet like 80% of the time.

Sometimes i consistently get internet 80% of the time inside the tunnels but that only happens like 10% of the time for some weird reason.

I have asked my frds and they say they have internet 90% of the time, 100% of the time.

Wtf?

Im with rogers... LTE etc, using nexus 5. Is it because of my phone??

Try switching to 3G to see if the same thing happens.

Rogers, LTE here. My internet radio would usually cut out around olympic village until waterfront. And it will sometimes update at city centre platform.

On Rogers with a Note 2, and the few times I've gone from King Ed to Yaletown, I never lost Internet.

I go from rmd to DT and I have internet up until Oakridge/Langara and then it's usually gone. Sometimes it'll reconnect at Broadway.

Edit: rogers, note 2

on fido. I don't take the Canada line often but I don't recall losing connection. It might switch to 3g form time to time. Used a Iphone 5s, Sony Xperia Z3 compact, Nexus 5, iphone 6.

when i get on at river rock, i'll get on 9gag app, keep scrolling down to load as much as possible, and then once reception cuts out, i'll just slowly read my way back up till waterfront. Lol
