Agreed. They should leave legacy fail proof technology in place.

I wounder if someone sold them on a bunch of "efficiencies" by dropping radio, tv and whatnot in favour of a web based solution? And now that I think on it, was Canada not listed lately as having some of the worst rural cell/internet infrastructure in the world?

Are you telling me we pay the highest in the world for mobile plans AND have the shittiest cell infrastructure. Jesus christ..

I have 200mb of data and it turns off when I run out. If I ever get caught in an emergency, I'm screwed.

Plus, half the time their website seems to crash.

[-] TehPers@beehaw.org 2 points 1 year ago

How do you operate on 200mb data? You might as well not have data at this rate. You can watch what, like a few minutes of video before your data is up? That's some serious BS, assuming you're in Canada.

I'm in the US, haven't seen a phone plan with less than unlimited anytime recently, although I know they exist. Ironically, even my ISP has a data cap (1.2TB/mo last I checked), but my phone plan doesn't (but does throttle after a while).

Just don't watch video on data.
