Good news to Freedom Mobile customers with a OnePlus 5 phone. OnePlus just pushed out an update to properly support Freedom's Band 66 LTE. Previously, the OnePlus5 could connect to LTE, but if you moved to an area where the LTE signal was unavailable, the phone would drop to H+, and wouldn't reconnect to LTE under any circumstances.
Just installed the update and will test over the next few days, but the update explicitly said it was to support Band 66 of Freedom in Canada, along with fixing the wifi WPA2 security bug (and a few others things).
I'm really happy we were able to move to the $50/8GB Canada/US LTE plan before Freedom changed their plan structure. Now that the bug is fixed, there's nothing more I could ask for (except, maybe, if Freedom releases some more 35% off friends/family codes)
