I would never trust robbers to uphold their prices. They already try to sneak every little increase into my internet bill.

Folks, although the discussion forum is meant to include topics generic in nature, it was never intended to be a shopping forum. I know the recent promotions generate a lot of enthusiasm, and I am caught up in it as much as anyone. Let's keep the discussion focused on generic topics related to this service. I invite everyone to participate in shopping forums such as red flag deals if they wish to discuss cellular plan options.

Big LTE data is not on PM's radar anyway.

Agreed. Here we help each other with using this service. On shopping forums we help each other with getting the best deals. This may or may not involve recommending this service. I have always said that my loyalty is to my wallet ahead of any service provider. This allegiance is unwavering.

It’s really too bad they are not offering a cheaper plan option. I just don’t need 10gb when I have wifi all day. I would like the additional features from the other brands though.

I agree.

I might be leaving ( I got an offer from Rogers) unless Telus or Koodo come up with some cheaper postpaid plans to keep their PM prepaid customers. If Rogers can do it for their Chatr and Fido customers then so can Telus.

@shawnie_boy

Its not about how much data you use NOW...its about future proofing yourself and locking in the 10Gb plan...

With the quality of pictures literally going up every 6 months, and the quality and quantity of videos being shared on social media, all your app/website data usage will continue to increase. Just one year ago I could get away with 3GB of data, today (and my habits have not changed much), today I can barely get away with 6GB (I average 5.5gb over the last 4 months).

With youtube moving to 4k, netflix4k, and even 8k on the horizon, data usage will increase SIGNIFICANTLY in the next year and beyond.

This is a great opportunity to pay the extra few bucks a month and lock in the 10GB.

I can unersyand a 4k tv. But 4k YouTube on a cellphone?? I really don't understand the need. But that is just me I guess.

The issue of requiring more data when your connection is faster is real based on the testing I have done with 3G and LTE. Netflix for sure, and maybe others, adjust the stream quality to match your connection speed, So the higher quality videos will consume more data. It is solely personal preference that drives this need.

Many of you already have higher speed connections on cell phones than I use at home! I am THE LUDDITE after all.

Poprocks — Sun, 17 Dec 2017 18:10:15 GMT

Yes, Spotify does that as well, Luddite. Perhaps these companies are used to dealing with the reasonable/unlimited data plans of the USA...

@Wonder_why excellent thought process. I'm still debating about jumping on board this pretty amazing deal too. If it weren't for the rewards programs here, it would be pretty easy to justify jumping form $40/month (I'm on the 2016 Fall Promo plan) to $60. But as it stands with rewards, the jump is a lot bigger than $20 a month. I moved to PM a couple of years ago to reduce my monthly spend, which at the time was $65 at Telus. I don't know, I'm still really tempted though! The question is, do I go to Koodo to keep it in the family, or try out Fido for something different. Either would give me the 10 gigs, upgrade to Canada-wide calling (a bit meh but handy), access to retail and phone support (again, not a huge issue for me). Fido would also give me coverage in the underground parts of the SkyTrain (Vancouver-area train system) that I do frequent a few times a week at least. Hmmmmmmm.

@srlawren,

Well........ I already have a great offer from Rogers (around the same price I pay now and better features). However, I am still hoping by miracle Koodo offers us similar plans that Rogers is offering their prepaid Chatr/Fido customers. I have until the end of the month but I won't wait that long. Good thing that my PM plan ends Dec. 31 so I won't lose much prepaid money. 🙂

@srlawren, if I were you and you need more data then the $60 plan is very good.

Re: Robelus price war

srlawren — Sun, 17 Dec 2017 19:25:26 GMT

@Michael77 funny, i have the same renewal date. 🙂 I'm thinking I might just pick up a SIM from Koodo or Fido today or tomorrow and activate it and try it out for a few days in my second sim slot, and then try to decide before the 31st which I want to keep going forward. I could port out on the 30th or something I suppose, if I decide to keep the more expensiver plan 🙂 It really is a great deal, I probably should jump on it. I know the bonus 5GB is only for 2 years, but chances are, especially since it's a month to month plan, I'll have moved on to something else in that timespan anyway.
