Me too. I work in Windsor so I could probably already get service there, but I'm guessing it will be years before they cover the area where I live.

For now I will be content with my $25/month prepaid that includes unlimited "Mobile Browsing".

Definitely stay away from Rogers they are worse then blood sucking lawyers. I know two people who work for Rogers. One does sales the other did support, and they themselves know how bad they are and would never use them.
