With Rogers investing in Starlink.
And I don’t trust Telus and Bell neither.
Is there a list of various internet and mobile providers in different regions in the country?

Ya, some people kind of got screwed when they changed their pricing structure recently. It’s probably the most unique option land assuming its model is sustainable long term, it shows how much of your cell bill goes to things like retail spaces and device subsidies. There’s a reasonable argument there for people that can afford a moderate monthly fee rather than paying it all up front, but over a 2 year period it’s cheaper to get Lüm and buy a device outright. Even borrowing at a moderate rate and paying that back over time can be a better deal than standard carrier plans. They tend to have regular new subscriber deals as well as referral codes (xEYOpL) and any relatively modern cell purchased in Canada will be compatible with their network so there’s a good argument for making the switch and setting aside what you would have been paying at another carrier to pay for the next years service and future device replacement.
Too bad Moe says they’re not allowed to provide service to customers outside Sask.
Yeah I’d say the only negative is that I don’t really use a whole lot of data, so I have a bunch left from when they switched pricing (which never expires), but I likely won’t use the minimum amount that comes with the annual plan now (150 GB, but rolls over for one year).
I’ve definitely changed to not be stingy on data though, like watching videos or streams on data now that I have so much.
Ya, people at the lowest end of data usage, like 1 GB or less per month and that had loaded up on the biggest data package for the lowest rates are paying more on renewal, and aren’t really benefiting from all the extra data they hadn’t used yet. Those with more moderate/high usage though(maybe 5+ GB/month) are likely paying less on the new plans. I know for me the plan is significantly cheaper than my original one and I get a lot more data available. They also rolled the 911 fees and unlimited calling/texting into the base rate so that makes it a bit cheaper than just comparing the base membership rate. Maybe some particularly heavy users are still further ahead on other carriers “unlimited” plans, but I know even when I had an unlimited plan paid by my employer, I rarely used more than 10 GB/month which is still less data than Lüm’s current cheapest plan.
