i get the same thing in Abbotsford all the time, being on the border with Sumas. if you get too close and make a call (2nd or 4th ave will do it) you'll be billed for roaming. however, every time i've called in they have reversed the charges with little to no hassle. it's still a real pain and something should get figured out
This is a very different situation. When the Superbowl is broadcast there, there is blocks of time specifically set aside for local advertising, while the rest is sold for billions. What we have up here is a bunch of Canadian broadcasters whining that they can't sell Superbowl ad space because everybody used to just watch the American feed. So they went to the CRTC and complained, and they forced them to replace it all with Canadian content. So instead of seeing some of the funniest commercials of the year, we get the damn Bill Good news hour promo at every break in the game. Not to mention the new equipment Shaw had to install to have the capability to do this completely screwed up audio syncing and we now get treated to 2-second audio drops in every show being shown on more than one station. AWESOME!!!
