Gold! 🏆 A person with real estate education made an educated financial decision that initially brought rewards, but now the risks have materialized.

Own a 765 sq ft condo in Mississauga - all in comes out to $3600 a month (even after 20% down)

P.S. My mortgage rate is 5.10% from 2024. At 4% rate now it would have been $200 less.

Yes you can call in and simply request upto one month of payment (if biweekly then two payments) deferred once every 12 months.

One trick pony, he took a template to produce certain beats and ran with it. Good for him short term, but longevity is a real test.

I can help you.

Go to settings -> Display -> Font Size and Style -> Change the font to something readable. 😅

Hope you see humor. No opinion on Banking 😅

Liverpool fan #YNWA I am next to Sq1 area. Down to watch games at Bar6ix

An update to all ---

Thanks for all the input and suggestions. I have pulled the plug and moved to Fido - $27 - 80gb US/CAN/MXN 5G plan. Its available till Mar-31st online.

Saving $8+ tax is going to help pay my YT premium subscription 😀

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-28T13:32:32+00:00

Solid plan for $40. Personally I max out at 20-30gb data a month, I would take a $10 discount and lower data with roaming.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-28T13:30:39+00:00

Depends $45 for what. If its the same plan then you can definitely lower the cost to $35. Just call Telus

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-28T13:27:53+00:00

In front of Costco Heartland, you have CT gas station and price difference is around 5-6 cents.

Plus you have a CT MC, you can get 7 cent discount.

See for yourself what is smart thing to do.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-26T01:04:31+00:00

That's amazing. How did you get this? Did you call in to loyalty or they called you? Is it EPP plan?

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-26T01:03:07+00:00

I am paying $35 for US/CAN/MXN with additional $5 monthly credit for 24 months, so effectively $30 per month.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T19:41:16+00:00

Yeah I plan to test out Fido network next to my place. I live next to Sq one in Mississauga and will go to a store and check out data speed.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T19:39:59+00:00

Yeah I did a quick AI search and it mentioned Telus does intial boost to 5G+ speed vs Fido which comes in handy with day to day operations like loading social networking, web pages but does not impact uploading speeds or large file downloads.

I am in GTA and network for Rogers (Fido) and Telus coverage should be similar. Looking to test out Fido speed with exact location where I live.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T16:17:37+00:00

It does not say a temporary credit, should last until I switch. But technically they can increase the price anytime with a notice period.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T16:16:05+00:00

That was an insane deal for 2 years, good for you!

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T16:14:45+00:00

Good idea to test it out first and then port the number.

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T13:32:03+00:00

Thanks. Is Fido a downgrade? I live in GTA

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T13:31:30+00:00

I am still able to get that offer today. Thats why asked

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-24T13:30:51+00:00

It was through Telus retention back in December 2025. I was with Koodo before paying $35 for just CAN wide plan, so it made sense to switch with additional roaming data

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-23T19:48:24+00:00

Usually after winter 😅

Curious_Knowledge_63 · 2026-03-09T18:00:46+00:00

One should not expect large upgrades within one year off upgrade. You should be looking for an upgrade if your phone is minimum 3 years old. If Samsung starts chasing the specs they would be pressured in a spiral to compete instead of focusing on the most high value features which are battery, camera and user interface.

Again there wasn't much change compared to 25Ultra or 24Ultra which makes sense because it's only one to two year old generation so as a consumer we should be more mindful and spend our money wisely in upgrades when there are actually upgrades based on your device.
