-Telus' service and billing is light years ahead of Rogers (they have cut off my phone twice because I needed to confirm my postal code, and when I called the service center and lost my mind the bi*ch hung up on me)
-coverage within Western Canada is way better on Telus than Rogers
There's good and bad between both companies.....all in all I'm willing to take some of the crap I get from Rogers in order to switch my phones around all the time, and get better coverage when I travel overseas.

Me too. I am with Rogers and had my V3 unlocked for $40 I have used it in UK (with a UK prepaid SIM) and in South Africa (with a SA pre-paid SIM) this is way cheaper then paying Rogers high roaming charges. GSM in my opinion is way better quality then Telus or Bell. I bought my son a Nokia in Dubia (duty Free shop) popped in his SIM here at home it works like a charm, and was a bargain price. Now you could not do that on the telus network. I think GSM is by far the most widely used sytem world wide.
