[Koodo] Koodo $35/5GB or $40/8GB - Public Mobile Migration plus $180 bill credit

Mine after discounts is $32/month. In the long run even the $35 plan for 5GB is not worth switching to.... too much bother for very similar plans. Over 3 years the koodo wins by only 80 bucks. Over 4 years only 35 bucks and over 5 years PM is back on top by 70 bucks.
It's possible the Koodo could be better as they have device deals that I could take advantage of soon but I can't predict the future and the current trend for Mobile plan pricing is downward. Maybe will be this way until 5G hits.

I am on 6GB/$40 plan and I don't think there is a better plan out there let alone this 8GB/$40 plan.

These migration offers didn't even start a price war.

I want to make sure I don't lose service while I'm waiting for a sim card. For referrals from an existing Koodo customer, does this happen prior to ordering a sim card? Sorry if posted already there are 140 pages so far =/.
