HarperLand | FU Rogers You have just lost a long term customer because of your inflexibility.
Wind mobile here I come. Instead of getting SOME money from me, you get nothing.
Of course you don't care, since I'm a minor blip on your ARPU |

Wind Mobile FTW. Not the fastest or best quality yet. But overall if you live in the coverage area and don't leave town much or hell even live in Barrie and commute to Toronto then you will get okay service for fraction the price. |

Yeah I know,
I figure for the 16 bucks a month more Rogers wants the Wind (and that's for 1gb of data not 6) I can handle the roamng charges.
The Ontario LD in the $30 plan is perfect. Just need to find a decent AWS phone now. |

Has WIND gotten a lot better? Everyone I know who was on a big 3 carrier and switched to Wind/Public/Mobilicity switched back because of dropped call / call quality issues. |

| I am still with Wind ... my problem is not with Wind, but with my stupid Nokia phone that decides to disconnect from the network as soon as it completes a call now! I've had Wind for over 2 years and it has been fine. The roaming charges are no worse than RoBel! |

It's been good in Ottawa, but we never seemed to have the kind of issues here that Wind customers in Toronto experienced. |

HarperLand | I debating what i want.. i'm kinda pining for the optimus g pro... but it;s a few months out. I'll probably buy it from the google Play store, its 200 bucks cheaper then Wind Wants, AND i get an extra 10 bucks a month off. |

It's been good in Ottawa, but we never seemed to have the kind of issues here that Wind customers in Toronto experienced. Its funny you say that... I had issues in Ottawa at my hotel near the Rideau, where I'd randomly lose signal, and go roaming. I haven't had any issues in Toronto. Prior to moving, I'd never have signal in my building's elevator, but I had signal with Wind. New building, full signal in my elevator. Only place I lose my signal is in my building's parking garage. I do have 1 bar on a short stretch on Steeles between Dufferin & Bathurst, but that's really about it.

I was with WIND for about a year before I switched to Telus (Koodo).... the quality of the network is far above anything WIND can offer... even so, sometimes I think that I should just go back to WIND to pocket the $25/month. |

The only place I get low data signal is between Kipling to just west of Martingrove along Rathburn on my commute home.
Otherwise in the almost 2 years I've been with Wind I haven't had many issues with poor quality calls dropped calls or low bars for data. |

I've had a total of 1 accidental dropped call, but that was from an issue with my phone... I've learned how to recreate the circumstances, so as NOT to do it anymore.

Yeah, Winds prices seem normal on all the phones except that one. Pointless to buy it from them. It really should be $149 on the $30 month plan, that'd be for the 16GB unit.

| i liked that quote of Albert Einstein. These cellular companies love to gouge. Blame the gov't for anti-competitive practices for our high prices. you can call from Africa to canada for 3cents/miunute. Ask the idiot of a minister for telecom to explain this to us.
Rogers has got rich on the "backs" of canadians and continue to provide erroneous bills and claim it is the computer and not them such thieves at the top should be heavily fined. One has to spend 3 hours to get a customer service agent. No recourse for such behaviour. This govt and the CRTC are in bed with these cellular providers to protect their jobs. |

Nexus 4 has some odd Wifi / data issue occasionally. If you leave a wifi area sometimes the HSPA+ connection never 'turns on' (to use a less than technical explanation).
N4 has become my "stays on desk" development phone for these reasons.
That said, between that and the Galaxy S3 I'd take the N4. TouchWiz + Samsung's horrible colour calibration are a total deal breaker for me. |
