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?

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

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.

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.

Currently paying $65 for 12Gbs | Since you were willing to make the effort to call may as well just call into Fido no?

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.

Currently paying $65 for 12Gbs | 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

Solid deal on the aquapel
Any tips and tricks on cleaning the windshield before application?

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

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

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

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