I picked up a i9250 Galaxy Nexus and threw in my Speakout card, added my APN settings and I was up and running. The come unlocked, so that's pretty cool. Very cool phone, I just pray the data stays active without having to use a proxy. I think Chimpanzee's right when he said:
"it is actually Rogers gaining much more capacity. As a result, we are going to see more and more unused capacity in the old EDGE/GSM and 3G spectrum as well.
This would result them lower the price they bulk sell to SO(unused spectrum means 0 revenue). So probably this may last a while, so long the 'customer' buy the argument that EDGE/3G are inferior to LTE(and I see this smart people say on RFD thinking LTE is the best thing since sliced bread)."
Here's hoping. Happy new year guys! Time for bed.

Hi Jake: I was wondering if you downloaded Speedtest on your new Nexus, and what the real world results were?

at the time of my test, it was about 3M/0.5M using a Gio/Shine Plus.

Getting about the same as chimp, late nights, early mornings are better speeds for me. less traffic on the network would be the reason.

Just curious, Jake: why would you take a nice, expensive new phone like the nexus and then run it payg on SO?
I love a deal as much as the next guy (that's why I'm here) but then I don't like to spend too much on my hardware either. (I'm actually just running on 2G since I have an AWS phone from Wind)

not sure about him but isn't SO just a provider using rogers' network and charge much less for data ? how much you would pay to rogers for data ?
most people use SO because they don't need that many voice/sms(may be data as well).
so what phone doesn't matter. i know many use iPhone4.

For $38 a month, I get 200 minutes (easily enough for me), unlimited texting and unlimited 3g/4g browsing/data. Try and get that from Rogers, especially the data part. Plus, I despise contracts.
