Re: FU Rogers said by SimplePanda: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. You're also waiting around forever for Android updates. Just get CyanogenMod. |

I switched from the thieves of Rogers last summer to WIND and I have never looked back. I have yet to experience the "poor" alleged Wind talk quality. I get WIND signal EVERYWHERE I go, almost all of the Golden Horseshoe, Toronto, Barrie, Newmarket, even Angus. There's WIND coverage from Ajax all the way to the U.S. border, that's where I am 99.9% of the time.
I can still make a phone call on my WIND phone from Wasaga Beach or Algonquin Park with roaming, who cares if I have to pay the 50 cents a minute fee while suckling off a foreign tower, if I make a phone call from outside my area it would be because I broke down in my car or say I have arrived, how much is saying those words going to cost me? $2 extra on my WIND bill at the end of the month? Big deal.
I love you WIND. |

[/BQUOTE :That's my take on it too. Rogers is offering me an inferior package (data wise) for 10 bucks a month more then I pay now.
I'm, going to sign up for the Ontario ($30) deal and I figure I'd have to spend over $15/month,EVERY SINGLE MONTH, just to spend what Rogers wants to charge me.

No, I didn't. Honest... I ran out of gas. I... I had a flat tire. I didn't have enough money for cab fare. My tux didn't come back from the cleaners. An old friend came in from out of town. Someone stole my car. There was an earthquake....... |

Re: FU Rogers And I'm gone. I figured I'd port out early to avoid any problems.
Well catch this out, they consider it a termination of service, and tried to nail me for early (16 days) termination fees of over $100.
There was pro rated amount for the voice service and $100 for data (the minimum)!!!
I got it all waived, but holy smokes.

Every provider considers a port out to be a termination of service. |

| I had heard that if i do call in and cancel proper, they prevent the port out.. So took a pre-emptive strike.
Call it what you want, I had no issues paying for the next 16 days even though I'm on Wind. I guess i'll see when the next bill comes. |

Eh? | You are right about that. In another life I worked for Rogers in a Cable/Wireless Center (a store not a mall booth). If you called to cancel to not get hit with pro-rated fees, you no longer were able to Port a number.
Several times, I had to explain this to customers. Now that being said, it's been years since I last worked there, but I doubt it has changed. It was supposed to be a glitch with the system (according to the lovely folks at Rogers call centres) and was supposed to be fixed withing a few months. This was back when Porting first came to Canadian wireless carriers. |

kudos:5 | You can call it a glitch or whatever but I'm sure they don't want to encourage you to take the number as they'd rather dump it back in the pool then let you keep it both for competitive reasons and the fact that they likely never wanted porting in the first place. |

Strange. I find there is -zero- WIND coverage anywhere in Toronto.
Oh... you're talking about something that's -not- LTE? ;p |
