    Good to know they’re still upgrading. I was worried they’d become stagnant with the Shaw sale.

      TBH, I’m not holding my breath for 5G since it’ll be heavier on my battery than LTE and I have seen 500Mbps on LTE (not on Freedom), but otherwise I do share the sentiment. 🤭

        Yeah same. I haven’t really been waiting for 5g. I don’t need that speed on my phone, especially if it drains the battery much more quickly. I suppose it might be good for other device types though.

    Do they support Apple Watches? It’s nice to have connectivity on mine when I go running.

      They seem to be selling it, so maybe. I’ve no idea how data plans for those work. I am using an eSIM with my Pixel though, so I know eSIM is supported on some devices.
