Rogers is an evil giant in this monopolized world of cellphone carriers. A lot of companies have tried to step in to stop them. Fido was one, then it got bought out by Rogers. Then came Solo (Bell) Virgin (Bell) Koodo (Telus) but all of them are owned by the evil giants. Then today was supposed to be a magnificent day when the wireless world would be changed. Yeah, fat chance.

Wind came in and tried to change everything. They have a decent strategy but it is still lacking perfection. For starters, they use some really messed up spectrum (1700 I believe). They have all of 4 phones, which one of them is something decent. And their plans are really out of whack. Either you can get something REALLY cheap and good. Or something REALLY EXPENSIVE but good. There is no mid point. For example, with my current Rogers plan I have, I pay 45 a month for 150 mins, and 500MB. Going over to Wind, I’d have to pay 15 for Voice and 35 for UNLIMITED data. Sure I get more data, but I don’t fucking need UNLIMITED. I barely get to 200MB a month anyways.

I can see Wind being beneficial to some people, but I don’t see this current strategy satisfying everybody. Me being one of the people. This wouldn’t be a problem to me really, if they didn’t fucking advertise themselves as being “the first company for the people, by the people.” Fucking wankers.
