Yeah... this episode was funny, but kinda went sideways for PM. In fact, I think FM handled it quite well which might have given them the PR edge.

My advise... if you're going to stir things up - make a scene, don't hold back and go for blood, other wise play nice and keep everyone happy.

Also... don't throw rocks...glass house... etc. etc..

FM was hardly mudslinging, but could have come up with a fun way to "get back" at PM, rather than crying "mommy!"

I was previously on Wind and besides not liking to have to watch my data usage (I stream music whenever I drive), the networks aren't even comparable - PM wins hands-down. Wind's network is garbage and their LTE network only works with a handful of phones at this point...

[stonechucker]

No excuse at all.  Both were having roaming issues, neither should have been mud slinging.  

Keep to to the facts, unless you're always in FM's major coverage areas, PM is going to always be the better deal, hands down.  Until Shaw can layout the money to expand their services across the country, better, and faster, rural and suburban subscribers will be better served by Public Mobile.

[peosteve]

Agreed to a point. There's something to be said about professional courtesy...

[peosteve]

Not sure how I'd respond if I was FM. Seems like PM chose a sleazy way to promote themselves. They really should have taken the high ground.

I wonder who was behind the mud slinging at each of the companies.  It doesn't look good on either party.

Not exactly unprecendented as they've tweeted at FM customers in the past. I'm actually more baffled by FM's pathetic responses. Whoever's manning Freedom's Twitter account seems pretty butthurt about the whole situation. Makes them seem like a little kid crying to PM's mom (Telus) because PM is bullying them.

I would like for Freedom to survive and do well. More competition is a good thing. As of now, Freedom is doing nothing that would make me want to join them. Other than feeling good about helping out the "little guy" (owned by billion dollar company Shaw), there is no reason to go with them.

Their 10-month "promo prices" are the last thing that I want from a company. I am already sick of Shaw internet enticing people with promo deals and then massively increasing the price afterwards. I don't want to see it in a phone company too.

[dearmusic]

There's nothing to "bring it" for...

Other than the fact that FM has 6 GB unreliable data, there is no benefit in FM anymore...

Even their price sucks now...

It does make me a bit sad seeing how FM is just trying to survive in this industry while PM bashes though

That would have been a whole lot better if PM wasn't experiencing the same thing.  A little disappointed actually that they were out flaming others while their customers are on here with out the same service that they were promoting better then the other company.
