new mobile plans

Inb4 the bashing (usually from people who actually don't use the service, or did when it was just starting out)

These are actually good plans. I heard talk of wanting to increase their ARPU, which most took as raising prices. But this seems in line with existing good plans.

E.g. $45 is basically HMP with US roaming add on for $5.

So I guess I should stick to my $40 5gb plan.

BTW do they throttle data just like before or are these like big 3?

after you reach the allotted data for your plan then wind will throttle your speeds to pretty much unusable levels. Sometimes the data is slower, and other times its faster. For me, on average I get around 3mbps which is plenty good enough for mobile imo.

Wow, far cry from the $35 unlimited data plans they started with. Glad I got in when the gettin was good.

yeah i got in for the BTS plan for $35 + tax...i just want an upgrade in my phone mainly as i'm still using an s3.

how are the worse plans hot deals now?

wind introduced lower data per price point - cold as ice.

So you're on the new $45 plan?

Yeah...I'm not sure why someone would bother with Wind with these plans.

I've been using Wind for 4 months now. The data service is terrible. Considering moving down from my $44 unlimited everything to the $35 plan and saving myself $9.

Raising prices is a good thing for Wind. It means they are trying fund upgrades to their network.

I think its reasonable...most people don't use that much mobile data anyways so it doesn't really matter if they lowered it or not. The best plan is the $50 plan with 10gb data

you're from alberta so I can't comment on winds service over there..but here in Toronto, in the area I live in, the service is pretty decent.

Data doesn't exist in downtown Calgary. Which is funny because they have a store down here. I should have asked the Rep to do something on his phone.

When I called and created a ticket they spent 24 hours "looking into it" and then said their network was fine and closed the ticket.

If 60kbps is fine then that's okay by me but at least advertise you have a ***** network in downtown Calgary. I spent some time in the south end of Calgary and while there were some dead spots, I at least got 2or 3mb down when I had a connection.

Just frustrating because I really want to support Wind. I'm tired of Robelus.

downtown TO sucks - financial district is death. suburbs are fine though. its tough.

Crappy service, crappy company with crappy price. Hot deal? I would not recommend them even if you pay me. It's only enough a one time emergency case when you are outside of GTA and NO reception.

Clearly you don't understand the concept of roaming.

I have had service in Niagara with Wind. Dont know what your problem is, I guess you had a crappy phone

So even Wind is jumping on the bandwagon now and scaling back its plans?
What else do they possibly have going for them now!!
