I just ran a speedtest, 120ms ping, 4.9 mbps down, 3.3 up (from home, W. Hillhurst area). I've had as high as 5 down, and as low as 500 kbps down. Depends on traffic.
I have zero complaints on Wind. I have yet to find a dead zone in Calgary or Ottawa. That being said, I live and work in the inner city. A friend living in West Hills/Springbank lives in a dead zone and has to walk 5 min from home to make calls.
I'm on the 2011 hmp so my $40 gets unlimited everything. Now, their $40 gives unlimited data, Canada LD, text, but no VM, though a promo on now is free VM.
Their roaming rates are similar to what a paygo plan from the Big Three is - 20 cents a min from Can/US, 15 cents per text. NEVER ROAM ON DATA. It's obscene. I have data roaming disabled but a glitch on my phone still lets it roam to Home Away, so I installed Data Controller. Works like a charm.
