LTE is coming to Wind beginning later this year, likely starting with Vancouver and Toronto, with a full network-wide roll-out next year. The LTE roll-out also brings new HSPA equipment which should help strengthen that network too. Unfortunately, until phones with band 66 support become wide-spread, the LTE network will be very limited.

I expect a Shaw Wireless rebrand along with integration of the Shaw WiFi network out west next year, but that's pure speculation.

SHAW/Wind Presence

A full size Wind shop is being set up right next to Koodo at Metrotown (suburban Vancouver),
exactly where Shaw has a free-standing cable service kiosk,
and on the main hall from the bus loop.
Bigger than any of the old Wind booths, which suggests serious promotion coming soon.

Subtle changes with Shaw's (coming soon?) Purchase of Wind

Has anyone else noticed that instead of "WIND" and "WIND AWAY" being displayed for the carrier it now says "HOME" and "AWAY"?

That's just started happening in the last couple of weeks...

Samsung Galaxy S III Android 4.4.2 and a recent SIM card change (It did say "WIND" after the SIM change)
