I received my second bill and I only have my 35$ + 8.95$ acces fee on it...looks like I didn't use more than my 1G

Telus offers the stick for $149 or $0 if you take a 1 or 2 or 3yr contract.
$25 gets you 500MB, $30 gets you 1GB and $60 gets you 3GB. You then need to add 75cents for 911 and 6.95 SAF. Comes out cheaper then Bell but not by much but you can get away with 1yr contract and a free stick or even $149 isint so bad.
I get a much better deal with my cell phone from Telus, I pay $15\month and that give me unlimited email\data\IM. I just plug my phone to my laptop and im surfing the net anywhere with coverage

Thr plans are at the same rate...it's just the cost of the key that vary 0$ with Telus if you sign a 1-2 year contract whie Bell is 99$ with a 3 years contract. Also a 2$ diferrence on the network acces cost. Oh well! I now have a 3 years contract, we will revise our option in 21/2 years, it cost much more to cancel the contract than I would save by switching
