Wireless Network Coverage from four major networks should bring better prices (Bell, Telus, Rogers, Eastlink).

Eastlink's network will be all 4G LTE.

Ive been waiting for this for a long time! Now to see what packages theyre going to offer

Im going to have to wade through it later, but some info on the plans is here.. At first glance they dont look exceptional, sort of the standard fare. Bundling might change things though..

Hopefully they put some kind of "configuator" on their website so you can make plan changes (cell, tv, internet and phone) and see what your total monthly bill will be as a result.

It's been a whole year since the 10 digit dialing started and I still forget almost every time I make a local call. What they should have done is made 902 the Greater Halifax area code and gave the new area code to the the of NS and PEI in the same way 416 is mostly Toronto and 905 was outside of that. They shouldn't have integrated the 2nd area code into the entire area and made people give up their 7 digit dialing.
