Bell has taken a nose dive in the last few years... I'm very close to leaving them. Not sure for who yet though....
I am considering getting a cell phone for the house BUT all the horror stories I hear about the systems have me very apprehensive.
I have been checking them out and if I decide to get one, I would likely going with WIND on a pay per month deal.
Their area coverage looks like it's as much as I will need.
I was listening to a show the other day on CBC about rates and bandwidth etc and neither Bell or Rogers would send someone to discuss the situation. Of course that's because they are trying to squeeze out the new entries to reduce pricing competition.
I don't really need a phone for Data allthough all the plans come with it, just a phone.

Wireless prices could rise with sale of Wind, Public Mobile
Smaller companies facing 'tremendous challenges'
The introduction of Wind Mobile, Public Mobile and Mobilicity was a result of a government initiative designed to spur competition and increase accessibility in the wireless industry. In 2007, Industry Minister
Jim Prentice announced rules that forced existing carriers to share their networks with newcomers.
The government’s plan did ultimately benefit Canadian consumers, Trichur said. Since the new players entered the market, prices for wireless service fell by 10 per cent.
But now that the companies are poised to either be swallowed up by incumbents or merge into one entity, the gains consumers have made over the past few years could soon be undone.
“Either way prices will go up for consumers,” Trichur said.
