The telecom originally announced that it would invest $9.7 million with $3.7 million coming from the B.C. provincial government. This was supposed to fund the construction of 11 new cell towers to make sure this stretch of highway was adequately covered.

They didn't even finish the job and yet they took the public's money happily. We deserve a refund and BCTel should be brought back!

BCTel should be brought back!

I'm not sure that a US owned monopoly would make things better.

BCTel is Telus.

BC Tel bought Telus and eventually changed the name to Telus
