Depends on the tower, but these days, I get AT LEAST 3mbps everywhere. 6 months ago, I can only get 1.5mbps at my home, now I can get 3. So WIND is still upgrading, and the speed increase is noticeable.

still kinda slow in Richmond

Derek128 11-03-2012 03:39 AM

Finally a bit faster in Richmond

impulseX 11-04-2012 10:54 PM

damn. i finally did a speed test on my throttled data (been going over 5gb with a few days left in the cycle for the past few months) and i was at 0.4 mbps down and 0.18 mbps up. not sure if location had anything to do with it but it was a bit brutal :( (i was at the brentwood steve nash fitness world)

ShadowBun 11-04-2012 11:13 PM

Psykopathik 11-05-2012 12:52 PM

The holidays are right around the corner and so far we’ve seen Rogers and Virgin Mobile’s promotional offers. Next up on the docket is WIND Mobile. Since launching in 2009 they’ve offered up a “Holiday PLan” that heavily discounts their current rate plans. According to the internal doc we received it states that WIND will be releasing their “best promotional plans ever – The Unlimited Wish 25 and Unlimited Wish 40 plans!”

These both will go into place November 9th and expire December 31st. Here are all the details:

Unlimited Wish 25 ($25/month)
- Unlimited Local Outgoing Calls
- Unlimited Incoming Calls
- Unlimited WIND-to-WIND Canada-wide Calling
- Unlimited Outgoing/Incoming Global Texts
- Picture Messaging (20₵/message Canada-wide)
- 100MB Data ($5 for each additional 100MB)
- Caller ID, Missed Call Alerts, Conference Calling, Call Forward, Call Waiting
- Voicemail+
- World Saver (featuring international long distance rates starting from 1₵/minute)
- Better Together Savings option
- Up to $200 on the WINDtab

Unlimited Wish 40 ($40/month):
- Unlimited Unlimited Canada/US-wide
- Unlimited Incoming Calls
- Unlimited WIND-to-WIND Canada-wide Calling

Both of these plans are available to new and existing customers. If you’re an existing customer you can call WIND and hop on board, but you’ll have to “pay a one-time processing fee of $30.”

We’ll have more info soon!
(Thanks tipster!)
WIND Mobile to release the "Unlimited Wish 25 and Unlimited Wish 40" plans November 9th | MobileSyrup.com

Great plans for those who are looking to jump ship (particularly those from Mobilicity) to pick up a Note 2 or Galaxy S3.

yameen 11-06-2012 05:13 PM

the unlimited wish 25 doesn't have unlimited data. that's a huge turnoff.

Graeme S 11-06-2012 05:18 PM

Wind hasn't had unlimited data for that cheap since they first launched. I got in the last time they did it for cheap, and it was $29. Wind isn't looking to steal Mobilicity customers, they're going after the big boys.

FerrariEnzo 11-06-2012 05:30 PM

the Wish40 is a good deal..

but i like my Oh Canada! plan better.. haha

FerrariEnzo 11-22-2012 06:45 AM

WTF.. Wind is boycotting Vancouver for this Black Friday deal?

http://windmobile.ca/en/Documents/Bl...g%20Stores.pdf

Yeah that 2012 back to school unlimited data for $29 was an awesome deal that probably won't come around again for awhile.

They put me on a retention plan that's called irresistable35 and it's hella awesome.

Unlimited everything
Unlimited calling to USA, Canada wide numbers
Unlimited international texting

pretty boss I can just text Hong Kong friends without every worrying about a thing....They just can't text back as carelessly

AVS_Racing 11-23-2012 05:02 PM

for the guys that jumped shipped from moblicity hows the reception and data speed? moblicity is really pissing me off lately with slow ass data speeds fb/ web won't load and not really improving much reception wise.

I doubt it'll come back ever. Wind's needed to get as many customers as possible in the first couple years in order to generate revenue and get as much word of mouth going as possible--you'll notice that a lot of people like me who've got the old plan are saying things like "Even at $40, it's still a good deal".

That's my plan, but I've got it for $29 :victory:

I was offered that.. but I have no need to call anyone in rest of Canada or US. I use Whatsapp to txt to ppl in HKG..

so my $29 OhCanada! plan is good.. so save myself $6.. haha

ShadowBun 11-23-2012 11:21 PM

wtf

PM me the phone #!

optiblue 11-24-2012 09:11 AM

Heeh, maybe one day they'll give me a crazy retention plan!

Heads up for current Wind Customers who want to upgrade their phones and still with an existing Windtab balance.

If you want the Note2 or S3 it's for new activations only. I.E you have to get a new phone number and a new plan.

If you want specifically those phones you'll have to buy the phone outright.

makes sense. With companies like these it's expected to have bought the phone outright and get a cheap mobile plan
