  • luckymobile, anyone?

    From August Abolins@618:250/1.9 to All on Sun Apr 14 10:54:00 2024
    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.

    month every month if you use your own modem. I suppose,

    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?
