Our family has 2 PM lines (pre-paid) & 1 Koodo (postpaid) & I've checked Freedom plans too.
We like:
No overage charges period.
You order & pre-pay your basic plans & any add-on's. No extra charge for data, minutes or roaming - if you didn't order/ pay it won't work.
(Freedom appears to have no data overage but not for minutes or roaming).
Coverage: Uses Telus & (under sharing agreement) Bell networks.
So usually good coverage along highways & outside major cities.
Also, frequencies that penetrate buildings (although I think Freedom is adding that)
Coverage 2: Most PM plans are the whole province, no zones.
PM is usually Province-wide talk (& Canada data)
Cheaper plans & with a good range of choices (in the number of minutes/ data)
Cheaper add-on packs
I haven't compared recently but add-ons are bought only when needed & I found them cheaper than other providers (even usually cheaper than USA only service)
Forum, community help: gosh ask a question & the community answers so quickly.
Usually, that solves it but if not moderator are normally quick to reply too although have to admit at times the moderators have been backlogged
Rewards are a nice addition:
Particularly nice is the loyal reward ($1 reward after each year to max of $5) - i don't think anyone else offers a chance to decrease costs with loyalty. Plus participate & may receive other rewards.
Drawback compared to Freedom:
No opportunity for phone discounts, although with Freedom that usually means a 2-year commitment or lose that discount.
No freedom go wifi (or whatever it's called) but there are other wifi opportunities (Shaw internet customers or Telus hot spots).
