[ecgz88]

I just don't understand why every Canada carrier follow Rogers 6GB in the past 4 years, Belus have $30/6GB for retention or $75 fab10, now mobilicity follows for their "unlimited" plan to 6GB, can't they just give out a 10GB instead

well you can add on 20GB of premium full speed data for $20, provided you have a plan over $25

[toguy]

What kills me is that they are doing this with a network full of dead spots...who would bother?

[Nucks]

Does this mean there will be essentially three speeds?
4G, 3G and then the throttled speeds?

I can't say I'm surprised, I didn't think they could possibly provide "unlimited data!!!' to every person that signed a discount plan. Would be too much congestion.

Is this correct: So after you get the Huawei E366 Premium Data Stick for $79.99, then you'll just pay $20/m for 20GB of 4G data?

It's already p!ss-poor. How much further could they reduce it?

Nope. If you do not have a voice plan you have to pay for the mobile internet plan, which will cost $35 for the 6GB plan, and $50 for the 20GB plan.

Actually, if they're throttling after 6gb does that mean they're stopping the "throttling if you download more than 15mb in 15 minutes" they previously had in effect?

[kin-kwok]

Still HSPDA+ not LTE, no good.

It's a good deal for 20GB of unthrottled data. I'd pay for 6GB of premium data if it was an option.

They pretty much kept their promise.

Your download speed just increased and you don't need to pay for it, how is that nothing?

From the wording it's automatically given.

Basic is full 21Mbps limited to 6GB then throttled after
Premium is full 21Mbps limited to 20GB then throttled after.

Premium is full 21Mbps limited to 20GB then throttled after.

From the wording it seems that only premium data get's the maximum speed.

Are we still going to have to suffer 300ms pings?
