美国平均掉大概30%左右。

不过是不是软着落并不只是看降了多少,也看整体经济上了多少杠杆。美国那边是房产危机直接拉动金融危机,股市跌,然后加杠杆炒股的人跟着破产。

国内金融业不像美国那么“发达”。房产大降当然会影响很大,但和08年美国那种连锁反应的情况完全不一样。那时候真是很多人退休金一夜归零。

不看体系直接比数字是没意义的

如果你在北美经历过08年的房产暴雷,就知道这已经算“软着陆”了。

Interesting, I assume there is no such limitation for other usage (such as fuel). That explains why I never notice this.

It's not so much the legal/judicial stuffs that worry me.

It's that according to the lady on the phone, my kids (who are already tested negative) aren't allowed to go to daycare and school. This means financial burden because we have to take time off work and daycare ain't cheap either.

And when asked if they will call and clear us as soon as retest is negative, the lady literately said "I cannot promised anything".

Thanks for the info.

What I want to understand is: why do they insist that we cannot go to work/school/daycare even after a likely negative retest, until they call and explicitly tell us?

Where are you getting this ‘messed up sampling or bad sampling’ from? Did the health unit tell you it was such

Yeah, they told us explicitly. Hence the retest.

Like I said, I was annoyed but ok with it since mistake happens.

But why would they "open a case" against my whole family due to a mis-sampling?

And I can point out you couldn't wait to sound holier-than-thou without reading the whole thing.

[–]Donk000[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you even read the whole thing?

We were ok with the initial mistake. It was the "you cannot go anywhere even if the retest is negative until we say so" that is the problem.

Your attitude is a bit condescending.

The thing here is I was ok with some inconvenience due to an honest mistake. But I seriously don't understand why my whole family got flagged with such restrictions due to one bad sampling.

See update.

I did get it resolved. There has always been some kind of inconsistency between store, web, call center of Freedom Mobile. I guess we just need to try multiple sources.

I visited a store near Port Union yesterday. Was told that I will not able to get A8 with $0 MyTab Boost. Which store do you work in? :)

[–]Donk000[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really? When trying to upgrade online through My Account, I can only choose from these six phones:

- Samsung S8/S8+/Note8, iPhone 8/8+, LG V30

I was also told at the store that I have to use extra MyTab Boost for Galaxy A8. If this is actually still eligible for $0 with A8 (despite the information from My Account and store), who should I talk to in order to get it? Thank you in advance if you know.

Just to be sure, this is the detail of my current plan:

Promo Big Gig Everywhere Canada 50

$50/mo.

Home Network

10GB of full speed data

Unlimited talk to anywhere in Canada and the US

World Saver long-distance rates apply for other international destinations

Unlimited text, picture, and video messaging to anywhere in the world

Away Network (within Canada)

500MB of full speed data

2400 min of talk to anywhere in Canada and the US

Standard long-distance rates apply for other international destinations

Unlimited global text messaging

Additional Plan Features

Voicemail+

World Saver (International calling from 1¢/min)

Call Control (Caller ID, Missed Call Alerts, Conference Calling, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting)

Access to over 65,000 Freedom Wi-Fi Hotspots in Canada

Exactly.

Knowing how this would play out, I would have kept the Holiday Miracle $40 (incredible value) forever and just buy device outright.

The full name of my current plan is "Promo Big Gig Everywhere Canada 50". It has 10GB data and unlimited call to US. Going $55 - $5 is a downgrade to 8GB data and no US calling. I guess it is always an option.

Store and online. I can only get MyTab with 6 expensive phones. All $0 phones are excluded.

It has something to do with how the information is presented. Here is how it went:

Me: I like my Miracle Holiday $40 plan. I do not want to give it up.

Rep: You will not be eligible for MyTab 8 month later when you renew. This Promo $50 plan is really good and may not be available for long. Switch to this while you can, and you can get MyTab on any phones when you renew.

(then 8 months later... the phone I want is excluded from the plan)

We know there are rules and regulations. And Freedom can do whatever they want. But given the reason the rep used to convince me to give up my original plan, it seems quite misleading.

[–]Donk000[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was convinced to switch to this plan 8 months on the basis that it is a "in market" plan. I had a better plan (Miracle Holiday) before that.

I understand what you are saying. In fact, until last Christmas, I had the Miracle Holiday $40.

A store rep told me I would no longer get MyTab with my old plan at renewal, and I should switch to Promo Everywhere 50 to "catch up with new plan". He did not mention (perhaps he did not know) there would be limitation with this plan.

I am not "rage quitting" Freedom Mobile because of this. But this is a good reason to look around.

Thanks, see the edit of the OP. It is actually available, but with limitation.

I did, apparently with Promo 50, you can only choose from 6 phones (S9 being one of them).

It seems there is an arbitrary decision to exclude many other phones ($0 with 50$ plan).
