Why does freedom mobile have such an offer when fizz can't have it? They got that plan on Bring your own phone and priced from 20$ and up.

    Well they have unlimited speed at reduced speed but we have reported data at 516kbps if you do more then email light browsing its unsusable Also if you take a plan with no data with fizz you can a 500mb data bonus on your plan to have data

    freedom used to be a separate company. their plans/structure remains even when quebecor bought it. that's why it has many things even videotron doesnt have

    Hi @shiba_booboo

    All of the telcos in Canada have subsidiary companies that offer different products, price points and advantages. Quebecor and their family of companies is no different.

    Consumers now have a wide range of choices and options.

    Fizz on!

    i was hoping Fizz offered something like that as well, i'd go for it and get both phone and internet with Fizz but as of now its not promising enough

    I think these different offerings are a good thing, if I like the plan structure somewhere else I can move there.

    I like the transparency and straight-fowardness of Fizz' plans!

    It seems that Freedom is not available for Quebec residents…

    as there is no option to choose from the province.

    😂

    The reduced speeds are slow and aren't meant to be used seriously.

    Think of it as emergency data where even if it is slow, it's still a connection and you can use it to get directions out of an area with Google Maps.

    Fizz is the more budget conscious brand under the Videotron umbrella so it's expected that we won't get much in the way of features.
