I recognize that rural access + service quality was an issue, but it would be nice if more Canadians put their money where their mouths are.

I tried Freedom about five years ago. I live in an urban area in metro Vancouver. The coverage was an absolute farce. I could not make a phone call, ever, and I could not access LTE, ever. I travelled to Calgary once and the coverage/service was awesome. At home in the Lower Mainland, absolute dog poop. I paid a big price to get out of that contract and moved to Koodo. I currently pay less than I ever have for very good service/coverage.
