I lose all connectivity once I get north of Kenora and hit the 597 bypass north towards Minaki - this on a Galaxy S24+ through BellMTS.  From that point on, I get the occaisonal one bar, or mostly no signal at all for the last 80-90 minutes of my trip.  This also affects my satellite radio (SiriusXM).  It's so bad (my place backs onto a giant granite hill 300ft tall and blocks my cell signal from the closest tower) that I need to rely on Starlink set up on a tower for everything, and have to use IPTV to watch games at the lake.  The joys of being (semi)offgrid.....

That's just The Shield, man! I have signal issues with my SiriusXM for a handful of stretches on the 17A bypass, presumably from the giant Precambrian rocks jutting out along the highway.

Sounds like a great place you have there in NW Ontario. :D

The data usage is minimal for the radio broadcast too. Have done this method several times even overseas!
