Happy to help anyone who needs it, send a PM for more info.
Apex is bigger than Tom Harris? All the VARs'? Partners? Not so sure.

Telus is the strongest network in Alberta/BC.

Rogers has the best distribution of towers coast to coast, but they’re strongest in Ontario/central Canada.

Bell has the strongest network in Quebec and the Maritimes.

There’s clearly no sharing of towers.
Curious how you conclude there's no sharing of towers ('radios'), where TELUS & BELL's do exactly that, for a large segment of each's incumbent regions.

That said, I strongly advocate any competent IT Mgr/Director, to research TelCo competency via international carrier analytical companies, like OpenSignal, & Teragence, akin to referring to Gardner for most other solutions. Obviously, carrier redundancy is a no brainer, right to the backhaul.
