@kav2001c the wind ZTE specs look mediocre 2014'ish... Long time ago, the mid-range Sony Xperia SP that Rogers had given me for "free" really lagged and was sluggish.
Anyone making extra effort to access Freedom's LTE is likely to be a heavy user and will find the ZTE underperforming in near future. Possibly requiring another phone upgrade in months or within a year. So the ZTE is basically a non-option for the heavy users.
LTE is the norm and not a luxury. One sholdn't have to spend extra on rare handsets and travel to downtown cores of a couple of cities just to get LTE. Too bad the OP isn't around to read/understand this 😄
