Hello Jay!

 AA>> I grabbed the $29/25GB when it was available. Later, I learned
 AA>> it was *not* intended for existing subscribers.

 JH> I was with Koodo for the longest time but recently
 JH> switched to Public Mobile (also owned by Telus) during
 JH> their Boxing Day deals.  I snagged 75GB of data at "5G"
 JH> speeds (up to 250Mb) for $35 /mo that can be used anywhere
 JH> in Canada, the US & Mexico.

Missed that one.  But.. I'm happy with under $30 for 25GG, and  
I don't need USA calling.

Just note, PM doesn't have unlimited data - it's a hard cut- 
off, I think.  With Lucky, the throttled speed is still good  
enough for email and fidonet.


 JH> It also includes 1000 minutes of long distance to China,
 JH> Hong Kong, India, Pakistan, Philippines, Taiwan, and the
 JH> United Kingdom that I'll never use.

Well.. from that, you can tell who their target market is.  :D
