Is 6gig(4g) the max plans available?

If so in this day and age, it's not much.

@jayjay Public Mobile isn't and will never be a one-size-fits-everyone provider.  They offer plans that appeal to the low-to-moderate needs users and at a [relatively] reasonable price, with no frills.  I would not count on them joining the tens-of-GB ranks any time soon, though technically anything is possible--but it just doesn't fit with their market strategy.  For those large plans, and since you said money is no object, you really need to be looking at the 1st tier providers: Telus, Bell, Rogers.  They are going to be able to meet your needs (albeit at nasty prices).

I know someone whom is in sales and they were able to obtain a 120 GB plan from PM's parent company Telus.  The pricing wasn't cheap, but wasn't totally unreasonable for what they got (Canada & USA roaming included).

If cost is not a concern for you, then shop the top tier brands.  They have plans that costs hundreds per month and comes with 10s GB data.

Hi, if you use the "build your own plan" page, you can buy 6GB at LTE speeds.

Unlimited Canada Talk/International Text/6GB 4G (LTE) is $67 per 30 days.

If cost doesn't matter, take the plan with the most data, and buy multiple data add-ons.  It will be very expensive, but you can buy as much data as you want if you are willing to pay.

@jayjay As PM is providing a lowest cost for customers. The fastest it is, the higher the cost.

3g speed on LTE is next to useless.  Speed on 3g network is good. Try the 3g network. You will be surprised.

Overseas was getting unlimited 4g for $16/month.

I know this is Canada but even America has 30/40/50 gig plans that aren't unreasonable.


Amurica is not Cantnada.  No point in bringing up what is available elsewhere when this market (if you can call it that) behaves like no other.  Anyway, when usage is a paltry few GB per month, the data bytes can be delivered by pony express and would still be of acceptable speed.

PM is low cost mobile provider.  Check out the big-3 for the 15/20GB plan.

PM 3g speed is LTE capped at 3Mbps with the low LTE latency.
