Rogers is now expanding the coverage of their LTE Max network to the following areas,

  • La Baie, QC
  • Victoriaville, QC
  • Expanding coverage in Quebec City and Trois-Rivieres
  • Saint John, NB
  • Parksville, BC
  • Expanding coverage in Victoria, BC
  • Halifax Expansion, NS

I am using a Q10 on the LTE Max network and I have noticed that my speeds are much faster than I was getting on my Z10 on Rogers.  On average I am getting anywhere from 45-55Mbps down while in town where the coverage is the best, where as I am getting closer to 25-30Mbps on my Z10 in the same place.  Hopefully we will see Rogers continue to expand their LTE Max network to more and more cities.

Rogers just did the exact thing by partnering with Videotron,  they have signed a 20 year deal that will allow Rogers to user their specific footprint to increase their presence as well as help Videotron build out the LTE network that they will both use.  In addition to the partnership, Videotron will sell the remainder of their unused AWS spectrum to Rogers for $180 Million.

Hopefully this deal is approved, as it is does seem like it will benefit both AT&T and Verizon customers down the road.  Hit the source link below for the full press release from AT&T.

However T-Mobile’s CEO John Legere announced today that it will be ending phone subsidies in the year 2013! So if your are looking to getting the new BlackBerry 10 smartphones, note that you will be paying full price for the device, and not those typical $200 price discount that you normally get. Before you completely through your hands up and get ready to change carriers. T-Mobile will be offering the phones for a low as $100!

Then allowing you to finance the phone for the life of contract or 20 months or so. This could mean a better or worst deal for you when you plan to upgrade and or become a new T-Mobile customer.

T-Mobile Already currently offers is new “Value Plans” that offer savings if you buy your phone outright, or just used a preexisting device. In which T-Mobile doesn’t seem too concern about considering that 80 percent of its activations last quarter were for those Value Plans.

It will be interesting to see the move and how T-Mobile will be offering the new BlackBerry 10 devices with the changes to their subsidy plan. Remember Verizon changed its data plans but used subsidy to force its customers onto new data plans.

Let us know what you think of the subsidy move
