    I just switched from wind to virgin(own by Bell). Got myself the Galaxy SII 4G. I still had no signal at some parts of the underground parking lot at Metrotown with Virgin. I guess It happens with all providers.

    mobilicity unlimited data stick actually means very limited and it will crash at least 50 times / day ,you'll get annoying calls if you actually try to use any of this " unlimited data",,,,,,,
    if you have 15-20 mins to open your hotmail It's for you !!!!!!also if you have data stick on your laptop and a cell phone from them expect to not get your calls as it just clicks off after 2 rings ,,,according to about 3o of my friends ,,,my phone is money to me and all i do is lose contract work because of it ....and don't even get me sstarted on throttling as at exactlly 6:30 am - exactly 7:00 pm your speed drops to nothing ..except sundays so what is that ??????they're very happy to misslead you as they sell it to you and its great as long as you don't want to use it .....forget about IM , dowloads , games , any streaming content , opening two windows at once , any pages that have a video add or anything usefull like google maps ........CRASH CRASH CRASH ....they are basically stealing from you for infrastucture and to service all of their 5$ christmas special customers ...do yourself a favor and forget about mobilicity and the frustration that comes with being a mobilicity customer ......

    Mobilicity is alright. Since they're still building up the company, they don't have as many towers...thus! The poor reception!
    Mobilicity is fine for people who rarely use their cellphone, and just carries it around...but for other 'busy' people like one of my friends, they need to text and call 24/7. So M doesn't cut it if people are looking for stable reception all the time :p

    mobilicity has reached a new low even for them ... my current speed for 90% of the day tops out between 13 and 18 kb/s ...they have my account throttled so much my conection fails now at least 200 times / day ...and there is no streaming content at all .If a page has any video add on it it crashes ,,, which is at least 25% of pages ...I asked my rep upon purchase of your unlimited data stick)

    if I could stream video ,,,to which he replied ...Of course ... he told me the signal was so good i need never pay for tv again as i could easily stream ANYTHING I WANTED !!!I have complained to you to the B.B.B. and today to the ctcc ,,,to whit they are clearly breaking the law as they were required at the point of sale to provide contracts to me with any qualifying statements of exceptions to the definition of UNLIMITED . I recieved a data stick a box and a receipt ...nothing more ,,,although i assume your employees lies were free....they are breaking the law see next paragraph for specifics ...

    (un·lim·it·ed [uhn-lim-i-tid] adjective

    1. not limited; unrestricted; unconfined: unlimited trade.

    2. boundless; infinite; vast: the unlimited skies.

    3. without any qualification or exception; unconditional)

    from the ctcc website

    How the traffic management practice will affect your Internet experience, including the specific effect on the speed of your Internet connection

    Introducing or changing a practice

    At least 30 days before introducing a new traffic management practice or revising an existing one, your service provider must display information about the change on its website. This is not required if the change makes the practice less restrictive.

    Prohibited traffic management practices

    Unless your service provider has received prior approval from the CRTC, it may not use traffic management practices that do any of the following:

    Lead to blocking the delivery of content to you

    Result in the noticeable degradation of time-sensitive Internet traffic

    Slow non-time-sensitive traffic to the extent that it amounts to blocking the content .endquote...

    from the mobilicity site vebatum...
    Mobilicity has taken the hassle out of understanding exactly how your data usage is measured because our data add-on is truly unlimited. Use as much as you want, download all month long

    ....this is a complete lie and very deceptive advertising...

    I will spend all my time posting to forums and threads , lodging complaint after complaint to the ctcc as each new day is legally a new violation and continuation of what really amounts to an ongoing criminal conspiracy by their company and agents ...I won't stop until my complaint is addressed or until no-one can try to look up mobilicity without finding a list of complaints including the specifics of the laws you are breaking ...I am a disabled person who relies on the internet to see the world outside my home as i can rarely leave the house ...by the time I'm done they won't even be able to use the word unlimited as the word doesn't allow for exceptions by definition,,,and cutting me off after my ctcc complaint would not be prudent ...I'm onto , i want my rights to the internet ,,, unfettered .....as its illegal for them to throttle this much. I anticipate they have breached as it amounts to blocking ,,,as well you have essentially blocked a shut-in from accessing the CBC ,ctv global ,or anything worth while...,,,,probably won't look good for you ....I would gladly pay more for the data but paying what already amounts to the most expensive internet in the country and recieving nothing is simply not good enough....

    The smartphone plan from BMO's TalkandEarn is only $40. You get everything you get from a Rogers/Telus/Bell $50 smartphone plan. Plus free call display. Well worth it. Why? Cause BMO's TalkandEarn uses Roger's network. Which means same coverage and signal as Rogers.
