Chatr is Rogers, so the network coverage should be great, same as Rogers
proper.

They have a great plan for $45 unlimited calls and texts and includes 4GB
of data + 1GB as a bonus.

But, they differentiate between in-zone, and not in zone, for data.

So you don't get data west of London, or north of here, as a friend found
out a few weeks ago, after switching to Chatr.

Luckily, they are month to month, so my friend will switch to Koodoo, who
have data coverage out of 'zone'.
