Toronto & GTA - Are you happy with Fizz mobile network?

I'm looking to switch carriers and have been recommended Fizz quite a few times. Their plans seem to have great value for what you're paying.

My one concern is the mobile network service. I want to make sure phone calls are clear and I don't sound muffled to people, nor cut in and out. I also want to make sure when I'm using data, I'm not constantly dealing with service issues, I understand once in a while depending on if you're in a bad service area, like elevator or something.

Any help would be great, thank you all!

Looking to switch carriers, need recommendations

If you left Fido, where did you switch to? I've been with Fido for over 20 years and am now looking to switch.

I've been advised that what I'm paying for the plan that I have is pretty garbage, and I'm also learning today that their customer service is not at all what it used to be. I haven't had to call them much during my time with them, so all the times I have, I remember the customer service being amazing, today I'm finding out otherwise.

I got charged for a service that should be included in my plan, so that's my reason for calling them. When looking at this bill, I also noticed they're doing a second rate increase on my bill going forward. Last time I just accepted it, this time I'm like what's the point if the customer service is worse than I had before, what am I paying more for? So I think it's time to look around.

I've been hearing people recommend Fizz and Freedom mostly. I've always known Freedom to have bad service quality when speaking on the phone or just trying to get service while using data for other users, has that since changed? How about Fizz, is the phone service good?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Fido keeps offering these new exclusive plans & I want to confirm if there's any catch

I've always paid my devices off in full, so I've always been on their old "bring your own phone" plan. There was a rate increase of $5 a while back, but I'm still considered on this "old plan."

My current plan is $45/mo: 20GB data + bonus 20GB data + 5 hours data, unlimited talk/text Canada wide, picture & video messages Canada and US, call display, voicemail, call waiting conference calling, etc.

They are now offering me a deal on a plan at the same rate as what I'm paying: $45/mo 120GB talk/text plus, unlimited talk/text Canada, unlimited text & picture/video message Canada+US+international.

They then highlight the new plan is $45 after the "automatic payments discount," which I'm assuming is a new discount they're offering because I've always had automatic payments, and that the original price for this plan is $55. Could that potentially mean the price will go back to $55 next year?

I don't use much data at all, I don't even come close to reaching 20GB so I've never felt the need to switch, but they are now offering me this plan at the same price as what I'm paying and also offering a Google Pixel 10 for $0 if I'm on this new plan. I apparently don't even have to trade in my current device for this.

Just want to ensure there's no catch here, since I don't necessarily NEED all this data. I've heard some friends complain that their phone service got worse after switching to 5G but I'm pretty sure I'm already on 5G.

Thanks for your help!
