Bargain alert - big data users

Seems, for a limited time, 20 gb plan is cheaper on 4G than 3G!

Wow that is a good deal. Do you get to keep that price when it goes back up? It makes the 25 gig plan for $85 a crap deal.

Unless it says that in terms and conditions, you will get to keep that price. But there is never a guarantee if they will never increase it. If you are on a 3G plan for around that price, might as well get on 4G.

One step forward, two steps back

This $65 20GB plan has been introduced at a time when the going rate of this plan at the Big 3 is $60.

I see the new plan offerings as confusing and no longer see a need for 3g plans. The differences in the 3g/4g plans are now relatively minor. Also, the $55 plan is overpriced compared to the $45 plan when considering only 2GB more is provided.

Yeah the numbers seem a bit wonky, I wonder if they are going to iron that out at all?

High data amount plans have always been cheaper with other flanker brands like Koodo or Virgin than the 3rd tier carriers. Public Mobile's sweet spot is for the lower end of data use.
