I honestly just got a free account just to comment here. Admittedly, I could only read the title and the first paragraph, but if this article ended anywhere near where its premise began, it's filth. I used Wind Mobile in Calgary & Edmonton from October 2014 until June 2016 when I moved to the US. Over the almost 2 years I used Wind, I saw the call/coverage/data quality increase several-fold. By early 2016, Wind was faster than what I had experienced with Fido before I left that company in 2014 due to $80-100 phone bills. With Wind, I was paying about $45-50 to get unlimited everything in Canada and the US, and rarely had any issues streaming the most data-intensive content.

So I guess that's where my frustration with this article is coming from, is that someone is putting Freedom on blast in 2017 after several further network upgrades. Two big thumbs down on this article. Thankfully, it can only be viewed in full with a paid subscription.
