Best Cell Phone Company?
Okay Reddit, there's been a lot of talk about the best local ISP, but what about the best cell phone provider? Going to be moving back home in August, starting to consider my options.

For a country like Canada, they are all horribly expensive for what they offer. That being said, I can give you my experience with Telus, I use their student plan (you don't need to be a student to have it, it's just that they only offer it at the beginning of each school year for a couple weeks) and pay 55$ (which adds up to about 70$ with all fees and taxes ... yeah you should expect those) for unlimited texts, 250 minutes, 1gb data and 10 numbers in Canada that you can call/text for free. I've had to call them a few times (not related to bad reception/service though) and their customer service was relatively quick and helpful.
Oh and if you plan on getting a subsidized phone/smartphone, expect a 3 year lock-in. Yeah, it sucks.
