I have been in Downtown Vancouver, East End, and North Burnaby where there just a week ago was strong signals still. I am guessing this turn-off would have happenned last weekend.. So.. I guess this is it folks, if you have what was a clearnet handset, you are definately using Telus towers now, and if you didn't upgrade you're phone, it will probably only touch rogers analog.
