Don’t fall for this scam! the shittiest provider I have used my entire life! that map they show on their website is complete BS.
unlimited internet? try getting any internet if you can. at metro town/vancouver downtown/coquitlam where i have full bars, it takes 20 seconds to load the google results page.
anywhere else at work in burnaby/ at home near metro town or just walking around, if i’m lucky I’ll get 3-4 bars and only the ability to text and talk. no internet whatsoever.
and when you’re driving/on the bus/train? forget about everything! you’re lucky if you get 2 bars to get SMS. on one bar and no service (which is most of the time) you can’t do anything. no calls. not even SMS.
I’m in Toronto and I’m very happy with wind.
But where in Toronto?
Richmond hill. Suburbs. Not even the downtown core
You get what you pay for, simple as that. I have 3 friends that use wind in Calgary with no problems. Yes it takes a few seconds longer to load a page, but to pay 1/4 the price of the big three and not have limits on anything, makes it a now brainer. I will be moving to wind next year.
I use fido now. I pay 41 dollars a months, 500MB of usable internet and 500 minutes of talk.
maybe in toronto and calgary the price can be justified since the other 3 or shoving it. but here in vancouver it’s a more competitive space and Wind can by no means be justified with their crappy coverage.
go here to see what other people using wind have to say:

Anyone using Wind in Newmarket area? How’s the coverage for talk, text and internet speed, etc. Thanks.
