If they sell their company, I'm sure you would then become a client of the purchasing company and still have same services up until you need to renew (complete guess however) Posted via RS Mobile |

I can go on and on but those are the ones I can name off the top of my head. | Lower frequency tends to give further reach too, therefore better coverage.

850 1700 1900 are UMTS (3G) Bands
700 2100 2300(Telus) 2600(Rogers) are LTE Bands
Lower frequencies have larger wavelengths and can reach further distances. But it doesn't really matter to the end user.
You can't really make a decision on which carrier is better with this information as there is a high saturation with the big 3 in western canada.
