Fizz often have promos where you accumulate rewards such as monthly rebates after certain milestones. It’s currently costing me $28/mo (+tx) for 20GB after some small rebate. And they do data carry over for a couple of months, so I basically always have 40+GB in bank. I tend to buy my phones upfront when I get a good deal, and keep them until they stop doing the job, or when I don’t or want to change it for whatever reason, I resell/hand down/donate them. Phone plans just keep getting cheaper for me, which is a nice change of pace from most expenses in my life these days… But you have to stop the loop of financing with the Big 3 and getting two year plans, and either financing yourself or ideally saving and paying cash, or some mix of both…

Boycott the big 3 by switching to the smaller telecom companies: Sasktel, Freedom, Fizz, Videotron, CityWest, Eastlink, Ecotel, Execulink, Ice, Nexicom, Sogetel, TBayTel

We should all switch over to an alternative to have more innovation and to lower prices in the long run.

Freedom mobile has much more tower coverage now and when you’re outside of their area they switch you to rogers or bell. So you not losing anything by switching to them. Also they’re building out the new towers quickly nowadays. You can try out Freedom or Fizz. They got good plans.

-By writing to your mla/mpp demanding a crown corporation telecom

-Vote out the Saskatchewan Party

-Tell your mp to strengthen the CRTC and to support the smaller telecom players

-Switch to a smaller telecom brand such as Sasktel, Vidéotron, Fizz, Freedom Mobile, Lüm Mobile.

How old are you btw? I mean that, we’ve been trying and demanding that for decades. But it got us nowhere. That’s why I’m past asking for stuff, I just had hoped the younger generation wouldn’t go through the same loop and just realize that the system doesn’t work. I had hoped the younger would just jump to revolution. I can’t lead it but I know how to build stuff! Pires, BBQs that can cook a billionaire sized pig, these contraptions that they used to use in France, forget the name.

Anyways I’m ready when young people are
