The Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) will discontinue its free public Wi-Fi service, TConnect, in subway stations by the end of the year. The decision stems from a significant drop in user engagement following the introduction of 5G connectivity, along with concerns over the outdated infrastructure's reliability, performance, and security. Upgrading the Wi-Fi service would cost $17 million, which the TTC deems an unwise investment compared to focusing on core transit services. Rogers Communications, which acquired BAI Canada and the TConnect contract, proposed updating the system, but the TTC opted to decommission it instead. The ongoing rollout of 5G service across the subway network will continue, aiming to improve overall connectivity for passengers.
