Koodo connection quality in Old Crow, Yukon?

Hello,

I will be spending some time in remote Yukon (Old Crow and some other sites).  I know Bell has furnished towers in remote communities, but I would like to confirm that Koodo as a 2nd tier Telus carrier will work fine up there.  My concerns is either my device being kicked off if enough Bell customers are using the tower, or my connection being throttled or only intermittently working whereas a Bell or Telus customer would work just fine.

Thanks so much for any experience anyone has on this!

So there is a single tower in the area located here:

It is a 3G frequency so good enough to make calls/texts, data will be a hit or miss on 3G.

Due to the population I wouldn’t say you have to worry about being booted. Your best option would be to try to get in contact with someone who lives there if you can and ask about their experience with connectivity.
