You can basically keep your current rate as is if you don't get a phone on contract. The moment you get a phone through a contract you are forced into a contract at the new rates. If you BYOD you get a 10% discount off the new going rate (not worth it given the $15/mo increase I was quoted). All previous rates are being grandfathered IIRC.
Basically it amounts to how long you plan on using the phone they give you and is it worth the rate increase for that phone over the two year span. Also some providers are still trying to sign people up to three year plans while simultaneously trying to appeal the retroactive two year limit provision of the new CRTC law. Dirty dirty providers if you ask me. Robellus are all still doing this as of a week ago.
