im kind of confused... so is tethering allowed on this type of plan or no? was looking into mobilicity's $40 holiday plan but this seems more appealing if the coverage is indeed that much better..

Soft cap is 10GB/month of tethering until you're throttled. The coverage is MUCH better than Mobilicity. I am getting signal at Point Robert and Peace Arch now.

i must say i'm pretty impressed with the coverage so far. i haven't gone anywhere crazy except almost to steveston where i ran out of coverage for a brief moment. was making calls perfectly at riverport and inside the theatre.
hell, i even had reception in some parts of metrotowns underground parking.

If data speed is a big concern, I wouldnt recommend either Wind or Mobi..
If you want something cheap and works ok.. then they cant be beat..

go look at the thread on offical data speed i made.. people have been posting what speeds they were getting.. although i wish more people would do this, this way we get a better idea of what speeds and location are best/worst
the avg speed for Wind/Mobi range from 1Mbps to 3Mbps in vancouver... in toronto, its actually faster.. i seen people getting up to as much as 5Mbps... Rogers 3G should hit around 8-10Mpbs.... their "LTE" is pretty quick..

$25 Wind Smart plan + $10 Unlimited Data +$10 to tether = $45 + tax
VS
