Default Advice Wanted: Family Cell Plan

Hey guys, I'm hoping to crowd source this:

Looking for a family plan for 4-5 people. All using iPhones (so don't need phones). I'd like to switch to plans that are unlimited calling/messaging within Canada on a bomb proof network (not Freedom) with shared data (but controls and safeguards).

Best plan seems to be Rogers; playing with their config tool I get 5 lines with 12 GB shared data for $185/month - I must be doing something wrong that seems low. I'm sure I'll get laughed at when I visit the store, Freedom is just a bit less.

[update]: yeah browser detected SK rather than AB so cost was 50% less than what we actually get in AB.

What are you guys using and how do you like it?

I just looked this morning and the best I could find on Rogers for 2 iPhone 7's and 12 GB shared data is $215+tax.

Would love some advice on this as well, but for 2 phones.

Rogers is probably the best price wise when it comes to large family share plans. Quality of signal it's dependent on the areas you're in as you'll occasionally have a spot where some networks fare better though it's pretty close these days with Bell/Telus having a slight advantage in the west (including BC, AB, SK).

I have a family plan only for me and my wife. Have 9GB for $120/mo. Extra lines are about $25 each.

I got my deal on boxing day a few years back as part of a promo. If you are not in a rush maybe wait for a sale.
