I think it was an attempt at humour as US is so concerned that Huawei is trying to screw them.

But some of the most recent stuff was done by Huawei. It's not about reliability. It's about who has an interest in deliberately shutting down a network.
Rogers wireless services restored for ‘vast majority’ of customers after mass outage | Globalnews.ca
"A small number of services with other carriers are continuing to come back online," the company said in a tweet just after 11 p.m. ET.

I worked for Ericsson for two years after they acquired us - I had to to get my money - and they are probably the worst RAN infrastructure providers in the world. Worst company I ever worked for as well. If I were Borje I would probably throw myself off the highest building in Kista, but ultimately Rogers really has no one to blame but themselves.
Verizon, AT&T, etc. use a combination of vendors... Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, etc... there is no single,point of failure and it keeps the vendors honest. You have to wonder what’s really behind Rogers vendor selection process

You just never worked for Huawei or ZTE. I never did, but I had few friends who were. All quit after short time.

20 some odd hours of a down network. Canada's Most Reliable Network.
Considering Canadians get fleeced compared to any other nation for wireless services, you'd think Rogers could have a little redundancy. But their need to fleece Canadians to maintain grotesque profits, is far more important to them. Which is why they scammed the government for $82.3 million in wage subsidies while making $1,592,000,000 in profit in 2020.

The wage subsidy thing is a joke so many companies took it that didn’t need it. I actually asked Rogers why they took it and he told me that he didn’t want to but advisors decided that if they didn’t take it, and all their competitors did, and this helped their competitors have higher profits then Rogers would lose potential share value and upset their shareholders , bankers etc .so realistically they had no choice. It’s unfortunate but that’s the way it is. You can search who took it and bell, Telus and all their competitions took it too. Search here to see what companies took the wage subsidy :

I put that turdfest on JT's piss-poor implementation. You're right, it's hard to turn down free money. I know some companies that had record profits last year as their primary expense was salaries and JT was picking up most of those.The wage subsidy thing is a joke so many companies took it that didn’t need it.

You can sugar coat it all you want, when they hid it from their MD&A, intentionally. Your statement is flat out wrong. It was a free money grab that they are deflecting, the same way they deflected that a total outage for 20 hours across Canada, was an "intermittent" problem, that effected only "some" customers.
I wonder how much they pay you to act like an online troll for them?
I think you don’t understand business especially as it relates to a public company. How do they hide something that is public knowledge via the link I gave you above?
Search and see how many companies you like and respect took it, I’m giving you information right from the source and you still want to believe in conspiracy theories , pretty funny you telling me I’m flat out wrong when it came right from the mouth of an actual person with the last name Rogers. As I said all their competitors took it , it would be stupid of them not to do the same even though they did not want to.
I get paid in free blackberrys and all the motorola flip phones I want to go on motorcycle forums and support Rogers .it’s not big money but it’s honest work .
That wasn't available until late December, after multiple quarterly filings Rogers omitted it from.
The OSE is already looking into regulatory action over companies that hid CEWS in their statements, as blending it with general revenues isn't legal on financial statements.
And guess which company is at the center of this new investigation into improper regulatory filings? None other then Rogers.
so they hid it but the government still found out and is investigating when it was the government who approved the subsidy and sent them a cheque ?....how does that work ? Here is the answer it
doesn’t . the subsidiary was given based on revenue being down as you know, if Rogers can’t show that, they will repay it ..end of story .
You are ok with bell , Telus taking it but no one else?
you might wanna be more mad at Telus and bell they took more and paid out more to shareholders ....
Rogers and Bell have reported full-year financial numbers for 2020, revealing that Rogers paid out just over $1 billion in dividends last year while Bell paid shareholders close to $3 billion. Rogers maintained its payout at the same level it has been at for several years while Bell said last week it is increasing its annual dividend by 5.1 per cent.
Telus, which has not reported full-year results, had paid shareholders about $1.5 billion by early November of last year, when it also announced a 6.8 per cent increase in its annual payout.

You are dense, they hid it from the OSE, their share holders, and the public by not properly disclosing it on their financial statements.
They were more then willing to take the money. They were obviously ashamed on how they got it, if they are willing to risk an OSE investigation to hide it.
its right in a august 2020 news article....who’s dense now? It wasn’t hidden or a secret sorry
From saltwire.com
One example is Rogers Communications Inc. Rogers has announced that, for its quarter ended June 30, 2020, it had a revenue decline of 17 per cent as compared with 2019. But we won’t be starting a GoFundMe page – Rogers had net income of $279-million for the quarter and paid $252-million of dividends. Nonetheless, the revenue decline should deliver handsome cash subsidies to the company.
For the month of July, 2020, Rogers will compare its revenue with July, 2019, (or with the average revenue for the months of January and February, 2020, if that gives a better result). Rogers has 25,000 active employees, and if it has a 17-per-cent revenue decline in July, it should receive a subsidy of about $25-million for that month.
and the globe and mail reported it too...august 2020
Opinion: The wage subsidy: A windfall for Canadian corporations
With the economy on the mend, there was no reason to continue doling out cash for employees who are active and working productively in a business
www.theglobeandmail.com
kinda hard to keep it secret when it’s in the news ...
and it was disclosed to analysts in July :
Telecom giants choose different ways of being transparent over federal subsidy
Kevin Carmichael: Rogers broke from the pack in how it reported CEWS payments, so was overlooked in FP investigation
financialpost.com
We would have determined that Rogers received the wage subsidy had we paid closer attention to its earnings calls. When asked whether the company had disclosed that it was receiving CEWS, a spokesman provided a transcript of the company’s second-quarter earnings call with analysts in July. “We did qualify for and receive some funding for our media business, that essentially ground to a halt,” said chief executive Joe Natale, who had to make a bet on whether professional hockey would resume. “The choices were to either furlough employees and have them go on individual subsidy, or to keep employees here, take advantage of that support mechanism,” Natale added. “Having people on standby and ready versus having to call them back from furlough was an advantage to us as a whole.”
Rogers probably didn’t do anything wrong in disclosing this way. The OSC and other regulators afford managers a fair amount of discretion when it comes to publishing financial information, which means companies can opt for translucent over transparent, according to lawyers who advise companies on their public filings.

I haven't worked for Huawei but we did a joint project for CDN and Targeted Video Advertising for MQM in Indonesia and I could see that they would be very hard to work for. Its all push, push, push and "Damn the Torpedoes" or you are gone.
I still prefer that to Ericsson though. I just found most people in Senior Management were complete narcissists. In fact I had to work for one and had to do a lot of deep digging on how to identify and handle a narcissist. And she wasn't even a grandiose narcissist who tend to be more extroverted and emotionally stable and easier to work with. She was a vulnerable narcissist with all the traits of manipulativeness and psychopathy. Those people are 100 times worse. So much for "Jantelagen"
I spent exactly 2 year and 15 minutes at Ericsson. I came on a Monday at 9:00, cashed out my shares and had resigned by 9:15... LOL
The best vendor I ever worked with was Nokia. We did quite a lot of stuff with their Video BU out of Cambridge in the UK as we provided the content contribution and production services. I really have not met a nicer bunch of guys. Good to see that they are killing it in the 5G rollout

Yeah, never was a fan of Ericsson. I worked for Alcatel / Alcatel-Lucent, that was a lot of fun (in a good way). Good thing our culture rubbed off on Nokia, as Nokia was very similar to Ericsson back then hahaha
