Cheap 5G data in Canada

I know that AT&T offers the cheapest 5G data in Canada, but does anyone know of an alternative?

Canada has 5G?

I've been using 5G phone everywhere in Downtown, Mississauga, Markham and never ever pick up 5G signal. And I'm on Canada's fastest leading Network Robber by the way..

And hopefully AT&T has the REAL 5G...

I use T-Mobile on Telus in Canada and I get the 5G symbol on my phone.

Your plan doesn't have 5G (if your phone is 5G capable) thats why your not getting 5G

who cares? You can burn through any Canadian plan's month's worth of data in minutes on 4g if you so wish. 5G, if it was even much difference in reality, you could burn through your entire data allowance in no time.

Completely pointless for cell phone use unless we have massive allowances and you could just use it as home internet too, which we don't and with our pathetic plans likely won't for a long time.

5g is a marketing gimmick to trick people into paying even more, and are making our cities an eyesore with masts everywhere as they need much more than 4g for coverage.

I don't think anyone answered your question. Im using simglobal 10gb/30days at about $27usd as my second sim, use code ESIMDB10.

It connects to bell, Telus, Rogers at 5G, LTE, LTE+ ,or 4G. It's a European IP so tiktok and other things from Europe will be pushed.

There's that 3K from Hong Kong eSim too but it's limited for social media ie tiktok.

It would be best to setup att but for us Samsung users with Canadian phone which are not whitelisted need to resort to these esim providers.

Hope that helps.

Curious why don't you just go with AT&T prepaid $300/year plan? 16GB with 16GB Rollover if available, and unlimited talk /text and esim compatible. You are paying almost more for your 10GB....

You can also join a group on the 15GB plan with rollover ($25USD/month in group) if yearly commitment is a issue....
