I have taken telus 500GB for 30$ a month connection,
Hope it will be enough, been told that if you watch 3 hours daily prog on Netflix (on HD TV) it will consume 8GB-10GB So that will be approx 250 GB and remaining 250 GB should be fine with my all other stuff.
Lets see after first month, I really surprise that's you just doing fine with 30GB even after watching movie, VOIP calls and some downloading .
I was too, but my husband verified our data usage with Shaw and we reduced our total GB to save $25/month.

Are you downloading or streaming the Nexflix? We never use it - hubby feels it's a rip off. (We watch a lot of TV shows directly from the internet and sites like Discovery.ca.) Also, Shaw gave us cable TV free for three months then only $10 for permanent because they seriously, seriously screwed us over when disconnecting our upstairs neighbor's cable - they disconnnected ours instead TWICE............ Grrrr! We got HD channels too.

So now we pay $15 less per month and get cable & internet.......... We got super lucky.

Shaw will claim they are faster than Telus. Considering the price difference, there may be some truth to that argument.

I did some quick math and if this article is correct, in order to use 250BG of Netflix data, you would need to watch 27 hours of TV a day in a 30 day/month. Obviously.... there's not 27 hours in a day! :)

Text messages - SMS.... It's where you write short text and send them to people, like an instant message conversation, but with phones. It's very popular, especially with the younger crowd. Many people prefer it because you can leave someone a message that they can return at their leisure and it won't get distorted like voicemail.

I would research that brand more before buying that phone. They might be fine, I've just never heard of them.

Dear Forum Members who travelled/transited through Heathrow International airport,

I have got my tickets confirmed for 14 Feb on Emirates for Calgary to complete the landing at POE. On my ticket the Transit time at Heathrow Airport is 2 hours while coming from Dubai and landing via Terminal 3 and catching the next flight on Terminal 5. Is the 2 hours time enough? Seeing the distance between these two terminals and also the formalities. Please note that my checked beggage is booked from Islamabad to Calgary and at Heathrow we shall be coming out with hand luggage only.

As I am travelling first time on this route, there is a little doubt that I request forum members with previous experience of travel to explain for me.

Hi members,

I M planning to fly next year to Calgary INSHAA ALLAH and got good fare from Qatar airline. I waana ask you which airline is better from Montreal to Calgary i.e AC or WJ. Although I had experience with AC when I was landing @ Toronto airport from London this June and really we didn't enjoy our travelling because of roud behaviour of crew.

Can anyone share your experience with WJ which helps in making my decision with AC or WJ.

Regards,
