Just signed up my dad and his friend. Today only.

As Crs mentioned below it's 5gigs 1 time bonus. After you use it all up, it's back to 1gig a month for 25 bucks.

[CRS]

This is a ONE-TIME 5GB bonus.

It won't reoccur month-to-month.

After that it's "$30" per month for 1GB?!? WutFace And that's data only, no voice. The voice plans are all 3G...

No the guy said you get unlimited Canada wide and text plus the 1 gig afterwards for 25 bucks plus tax. For somebody like my old man this is still better than his pay as you go fido plan.

That's 3G though... I guess if he's just using it for IM and emails... but I don't know if that's good enough for youtube or anything

In that case you're paying for 1GB when you don't really need more than 100-300MB or so... But I guess the way the pricing is structured, they're all overpriced

If this is the mobile data situation in Canada.. wow.. WutFace

[PeanutButter]

isn't public mobile 3G bandwidth only?
Making it essentially useless for most people?

[Bender Unit]

Their plans are prefect for senior & kids.
when you only get 1 GB data.
3G or 4GLTE doesn't really matter much.

You are a light data user to begin with (email, messengers...etc.)
It load Youtube without problem.

Best of all, their referral & loyalty rebate
I have 6 referrals right now and user since 2016.

they have 4G LTE. Was on it before I switched to the Telus 10 gig plan.

Used to load youtube on 3G back in 2012-13.
It's not too bad when the reception is good.

The "3G" is simply 4G LTE limited to like 3-4MB/s speed. Enough for surfing, maps, streaming Spotify etc. Not great for Youtube or downloading large files.

Why the fuck would they call it 3G then? WutFace

Because if they call it 4G LTE then people expect 20MB+ speed and video streaming/Skype/video calls etc., but this is the "cheap" service so they limit it so people can't stream videos etc.

[SkinnyPupp]

Just call it 7M LTE (or whatever it's capped at) or "basic" then.. they are completely different networks! Sorry, this just sounds more and more retarded as I learn more about it FailFish

You can't call it 3G if it's not actually 3G FailFish That is the dumbest thing I've ever heard!

[bcrdukes]

Canadian marketing and advertising laws and precedents dictate what the carriers can advertise their services as.

It's North American marketing, so what do you expect? They're calling 4G LTE-A "5G-E" in the States for crying out loud. https://www.theverge.com/2019/3/22/18277484/att-fake-5g-e-network-lte-study

[SkinnyPupp]

I'll stop now.. it just makes me irrationally mad for some reason LUL

[Manic!]

They should call it 5GE.
