I've had issues with it, yes, but they don't happen often, and when they do I can't complain seeing how I'm paying pennies for my plan;
$45.20 w/ tax gets me:
- Month-to-Month (no contract)
- Unlimited incoming/outgoing for local, Canada long distance and USA calling
- Unlimited national and international text messaging
- Unlimited data (throttled when usage exceeds 5gb but no cap)
- Reduced calling global rates (30minute call to Germany cost me $0.60)
- Voicemail, etc.
Coverage for me is great considering I'm always either in Kitchener/Waterloo or in the Toronto area. Only time I don't get coverage is for 10 minutes between Milton and Cambridge on Highway 401. |

Its basically one of two *small* telecoms that you can get a deal like that. Canada is overrun by thieving pricks at Bell/Telus (they share towers) & Rogers who own something like 90%+ of the market and charge some of the highest prices in all of the developed nations while offering some of the lowest tiered crap you can imagine. Before this I was paying $110 for 1,000 long distance canadian minutes, 6gb of data, 2,500 text messages, unlimited incoming, 1,000 evening/weekend minutes, 200 daytime minutes and voicemail.... and thats WITHOUT going over. I ditched Rogers soon after. I had to pay a $200 fee to break my contract at the end plus me remaining balance. My final bill with Rogers came out to be around $450.00
I know Australia sucks balls when it comes to telecommunications, its one of the few countries in the world thats as bad as Canada, I think the only others are I think Egypt and Iran. |

Indeed.
I pay $60 a month for $600 worth of calls (basically, that's 600 minutes, lol), unlimited domestic texting (international texts cost me 50c each), and 1.5GB of data (no throttling for over-use, that's it). My LTE Galaxy S3 was free though, on a 2 year contract. Thankfully, I'm not a particularly heavy smartphone user.
I will say though, that my coverage is awesome. I can't even remember the last time I couldn't get a signal.
Still, weak as piss. |

| Wow. What the hell? For 17$ I get 3000 minutes & SMSes within our network, 100 minutes outside the network, 30 minutes worth of international calls as well as ~300 MB of net to surf for. |

lulz... Last time I checked, Wolfram Alpha is pretty useless for math proofs. :(
Pretty much feels like I'm on my own at this point. It's a remarkable experience, really. It's like beating math and then playing again on hard mode. :whip: |
