I use Fido and I think it has deals with other providers as well to hop on their towers as needed (shows up as Fido EXT). Robbers, I mean Rogers I seem to recall does no and seems to often end up with more no service situations than other providers (anecdotal only).
My buddy was saying for Shaw mobile that it wasn't that he didn't get reception, it was that he'd have reception, but the quality vs others was awful or he'd have to pay roaming rates relatively regularly.
Fido also has several "1 hour unlimited" options you can choose on each billing cycle, but you have to remember to turn it on to use it. So if you needed to do phone updates and download a ton of movies/songs for offline use, you can do this with no usage of your data on your plan for that hour it is on. I've done it before and crushed out 5-6 GB without worry of updates, song playlist downloads and movies for offline for Netflix within 15 minutes.
