Yeah cellphones with Rogers and Wind, and I've heard a couple others, are ****ing up because people [who work with the companies] are too lazy or too incompetent to anticipate the increase in traffic from the beginning of school.

God damn that's so stupid..will they change it eventually to handle more traffic? Like sitting in the Mills library around 12:00PM I was getting 0-1 bars with WIND but now starting at around 7 PM I've been getting 2-3 in the same spot.

This was pretty bad for me for the beginning of last year (I'm with Virgin), but it was fine all of today. I'm hoping it doesn't come back, it was a pain in the ass to not be able to make/receive calls or send/receive texts for hours at a time...

Yea, it got better later in the semester. It happened again at the start of second semester but not as badly, and after a few weeks it was almost gone altogether.
