TELUS is now striking back at WIND

[savbers]

WARNING THE BELOW MESSAGE CONTAINS HEAVY USE OF SARCASM, PLEASE READ LIGHTLY AND ENJOY THE STUPIDITY THAT IS TELUS. $20 FOR 250MB NOW $170 ON PREPAID! WHAT A DEAL!
That's only because Lord Tony said prepaid sucks and we shouldn't care about the.

Admittedly, I was thinking about what tony said when I saw Telus was abandoning Prepaid subscribers (further).

It's a move like any other, devalue the prepaid proposition to entice the consumer to want more on the post-paid level.

Definitely. I just think when Wind and Mobi are offering the exact same plans for either pay before or after, its kind of a stupid move.
This is just going to backfire on them when the new guys get their networks functioning better.
Postpaid or prepaid, a customer is a customer, and money is money.

Then you missed the unlimited incoming part, this plan will easily take customers from Wind, easily

Apparently its for existing customers only.

Apparently its for existing customers only.

From Mobilesyrup "Update: This plan will be released on Tuesday, July 24th and apparently open to everyone – new and existing customers."

Unlimited incoming =! Unlimited any time minutes.

How could I be so blind.

Fact is for 90% of Canada this plan will be a better option, because they get a better network, and better handset selection, and the iPhone which is loved in Canada. Not saying this plan is equal just saying it's a better option than Wind for many. Compare new sub numbers after this quarter bet Wind tales far behind.

Fair - but I think a lot of people, (including myself) would consider switching for better data speeds (especially on the upstream), a much bigger coverage area, and better building penetration.

I'm on the old HMP - the plan itself is amazing on paper. However, the data speeds have been really poor for me lately (downtown TO, Dundas and University). I can live with getting from 1-3 Mb down, but getting 0.1 Mb up (and frequently worse) is unacceptable. Hell, with Koodo's decent HSPA+ network, I could use my SIP account if I ever had the urge to talk on the phone for hours on end!

Before it said for existing customers only.

[OgtheDim]

So people are just going to not notice the extra $12 a month (assuming you want voice mail)?

Meh.....not the same.

This was my reasoning as well
