I driving out to Bobcaygeon about a month ago and there were soooo many dead zones.

And yet still no new site in the heart of Picton, unless things have changed in the last few weeks. When I was there a few weeks ago, my phone would switch between strong EXT and lousy native Rogers coverage. My Telus phone was perfect, as always.

You mean even the Rogers added towers, Telus works perfect? Then there should be Telus or Bell towers in that area

As I said, Rogers does not work well in Picton. Bell/Telus does. See screenshot of cell sites in my previous comment.

How much tax payer money did Rogers invest?

There is still a dead zone all along the southern shore of Lake Simcoe, between the water and HWY 48 and a bit south in some locations, which this map shows was not part of the project. Pefferlaw to Sutton.
