As a Canadian who recently moved to the U.S. im shocked at the price difference between the 2 for phone plans. MINT MOBILE has a basic 5GB plan with unlimited call and text and free roaming in canada for $15 a month, and you can pay for any of their plans in 3, 6 or 12 month in advance... so you pay one time and don't worry about it until your next batch of months 15 dollars a month.... lol

Even within the cities and towns mobile signals are just awful there are severe weak spots. at times goes down to 3G shown on the phone. Signals are terrible in Canada compared to other countries. Airports from downtown to the suburbs etc

Canada is big but 98% of people are living in very narrow band of cities and land very close together, this argument is used for many many other lack of infrastructure (like lack of trains, public transit and even bike lanes and housing) which dose not make sense since the density of many places in canada is enough to provide those services. these kind of stupid excuses are good for politicians to not invest in public services

I’ve been with Koodo, Telus, bell, Roger’s, Fido, public and freedom. For me, freedom has been the best recently as they have nationwide even in their subscription zones. Which means if you’re in a freedom covered area but there’s a dead spot, you will roam on the partner networks for free. I also got a fantastic deal, $29 for 50gb CANADA US, 5g. Even the epp plans through bell Telus and rogers cannot beat that.

@@EbNorth that's a good deal, I got their fiber internet for a huge discount and it's slowly been going up in price every bill so I'm skeptical at how long you will have that price for, they slowly up things 2 to 5 bucks a month until it's at full price witch is not cool

@@Ryan420zz wait, so they can change the price of my potential two year contract? Btw, I have two phone lines. My other is with T-Mobile (USA), Canadians are allowed to open accounts and have plans. I'm on a family plan my entire family has T-Mobile. Also We can use it anywhere in the world and its unlimited data. My other is freedom, which I'm potentially gonna switch over to Bell.

No expert me, but when it comes to things like phones and cars and such I think most people go shopping backwards. Instead of seeing what's on offer, the best way is to carefully consider what you ACTUALLY need first. I know that sounds very obvious, but I swear most people don't do that. I use a cell phone differently than a lot of people. Very basic. I don't claim I've found the most cost effective and least evil company, "pay as you go" suits me just fine. Others who by the nature of their work or family situation need something less basic. Comparison is very difficult. I think the best thing that ever happened to Canadian Communications Cartels is Loblaw's rather inept Public Relations over the past few years. Taken our minds off an industry that used to be the national leader in ripping Canadians off.

The prepaid plans are the cheapest. Lucky Mobile is essentially cheaper Bell without the sneaky " We will raise your bill by $3." every 3--6 months. I imagine Chatr is the Rogers equivalent.

Hmmm. "KUDOS" to you for this video, and YES the pun was intended. It was VERY WELL DONE. And should be useful to a BUNCH of people, as the advice was very correct. And you ARE right, speaking as someone who knows WAY MORE than the average person about cell phones, coverage, plans, SIP (Session Initiation Protocol), VoIP, routing, gateways ... yeah those last few should be a giveaway that I have some specialized industry experience in networking and communications. (Being responsible for a half-million plus of corporate cell spend tends to cause that). BEFORE this video I would have said Canadians are getting hosed by the "BIG THREE" and the CRTC. NOPE, I STILL DO. It's not nearly as bad as it was, though ... but it could be LOTS better. Yes, effective costs have dropped a lot - Ben is ABSOLUTELY right, my Wind bill has been $25 / month FOREVER. Even as the costs to provide ALL the services I use have dropped overall, which SHOULD have lowered the cost of my plan. But I also DON'T have a "landline" which cost ~$30 in 1980 and was NOT portable. That $30 would be $105 TODAY, so the $80 I am NOT paying while still having a working "home" phone is a savings. (And EVERYBODY had a landline in 1980, for a while in the 80's I had TWO so I could dial-in to work to support systems. My employer paid for the second via expense account).
