Thing is, I don't think I even reached Retentions it was the first agent I got on the phone and within a minute he offered me the new plan. I certainly didn't ask for Retentions but maybe all my bitching over the years finally wore them down haha.

Edit: just checked my plan online. It's now 10GB for $40. Yesterday it said I had 12GB remaining but the plan said 10GB. WTF, what kind of horseplay is this shit?

Hondaracer 11-29-2021 07:54 AM

$40 for 10GB is pretty much like industry price point. I pay $80 for 35GB

Euro7r 11-29-2021 08:03 AM

I'm paying $50 for 10GB with Telus. It does mention unlimited data usage with my plan, but I'm not sure what kinda speed after 10GB I would be getting beyond that point since I have yet to remotely get close to 10GB. Mainly due to working from home and seldom go out to be able to utilize the data.

Hondaracer 11-29-2021 08:10 AM

It’s throttled back to like, below 3G speeds I believe

winson604 11-29-2021 09:52 AM

I must be getting old, lazy or all of the above lol. In the past I would have pounced on this shit like there was no tomorrow but now I can't even care enough to lift a finger even though there's clearly cost savings here. I'm currently paying $60 for 15GB with Rogers.

68style 11-29-2021 10:53 AM

^ Same... after taxes I'm paying like $67 for 10GB and I can't be bothered to pick up the phone and deal with anyone lol

hud 91gt 11-29-2021 11:11 AM

I changed mine. I couldn’t pass up Canada/US Data plan though Telus EPP. $65 20GB… since I’m in the USA weekly.

Liquid_o2 11-29-2021 11:35 AM

I got my plan lowered from $65 to $45. 10 gigs data. Really happy to save the few bucks since my strata fees went up again...

you called in with fido?

!Aznboi128 11-29-2021 11:56 AM

I called into Rogers to see if they can do anything about my plan, they said no. I even got transfered to retentions.

Currently paying $65 for 12Gbs

Since you were willing to make the effort to call may as well just call into Fido no?

Yup, I actually called Bell. Got an EPP plan instead.

Kingsgate Mall Fido kiosk. They are always a great group of people and have helped me out.

Eatman 11-29-2021 01:40 PM

Called in and wasn't able to get the $40 for 12gb as it is for new customers only.. Instead, I signed onto a 2 year contract, $50 for 12gb and a samsung s21 5g for 35/month. Plan itself is cheaper than what I was paying initially at $55 for 10gbs, so that's a small win there. Bargains don't seem to be there this year compared to before.

You could of gone to a Fido dealer (not corporate) and got a staggered BYOD 12gb plan.

$35 first 12 months
$40 second 12 months

Even virgin mobile had similar deals

EDIT:

My previous plan was with Koodo $60 for 17gb, then I switched over to Rogers EPP $50 20gb plan.

The Rogers plan was decent but the reception and data speeds were junk, I held onto it for a bit until black Friday.

Made the switch to Telus EPP plan $60 30gb, nice to have good reception and data speeds again.

EDIT 2: all the above are BYOD plans

Legit Aquapel for cheap:

Teriyaki 11-29-2021 03:24 PM

Interesting, but one time application eh? Any know the effectiveness of this vs just using the hybrid ceramic stuff?

I have them and they are pretty good.

Thanks... ordered 4 so I should be good for the season at least.

TypeRNammer 11-29-2021 06:55 PM

Solid deal on the aquapel

Any tips and tricks on cleaning the windshield before application?

SSM_DC5 11-29-2021 07:15 PM

One application in the Fall should be good until next Fall. Diminishing effectiveness since abrasion from the wipers wears the aquapel away.

eclipseman 11-29-2021 09:47 PM

Aquapel miles better than RainX? I applied RainX a month ago and the coating seems to have worn off already.

donk. 11-29-2021 10:26 PM

That shit never works, ive tried both aqua and rainx, similar results

You put it on, water beads off for a few weeks, the more you use your wipers / spray, it wears off. After about 2 weeks / month, its redundant, still need to use your wipers

Additionally, on some cars, you get the squaky wipers on glass noise, or the wipers start to jump across your windshield for x days until it evens its self out

The only way to use that stuff effectively, is if you only drive at night time, with never using your wipers after its been applied

!Aznboi128 11-30-2021 08:02 AM

While it may not be the safest, with rainx/aquapel I feel like I don't need to use the wipers.
