Anyone here using or is familiar with the Luckymobile service?

https://luckymobile.ca

Recently, they reconfigured their packages.

Examples..

WAS:

$40/mo = 5GB data
$25/mo = 500MB data

NOW:

$40/mo = 74GB data
$34/mo = 50GB data
$29/mo = 20GB data

New first time users can get 35GB data for 2 years at the $29
pricepoint

Also.. is anyone using Luckymobile manual top-ups and
encountering balances that don't get used up?

No we don't, our gubment doesn't believe in a free market for mobile or internet. If they can invent a charge they will.

I don't think any of the mobile carriers here offer unlimited
unthrottled after the cap.

I'm looking to lower my cable bill, and did some shopping online -
Xfinity has unlimited internet included in the cost of the package. At
least that's what they're alluding to.

Their new definition of "Unlimited" is 1.2 tb/month, and varying costs
per additional gigabit afterwards, or $30/month every month if you use
your own modem. I suppose, to make up for them not being able to charge
you for modem rental.

They don't even bother trying to hide it any more.

Yes.. the traditional internet to feed at home via cable,
fibre, dsl ..is usually lower priced than a mobile solution.

However, Bell offers something called Ruralnet which is
basically a cellphone attached to the side of your house and it
picks up the best mobile signal for internet at your fixed
location. That one apparently is designed to provide
"adequate" data for families that need streaming video.

Their new definition of "Unlimited" is 1.2 tb/month, and
varying costs per additional gigabit afterwards, or $30/
month every month if you use your own modem. I suppose,
to make up for them not being able to charge you for
modem rental.

I am nowhere near using up terrabytes for my internet. Infact,
I don't even bother with a traditional internet solution at
home. I'm not a tv junkie.

However, across all my mobile devices, I will have a total of
about 75GB/mo after I switch them to the new luckymobile
offerings. I just use each one as a mobile hotspot inturn as
required.

whats going on with that? did they just get together and agree to all
not have unlimited data and go with *unlimited data?

does canada lack the infrastructure?
