<div dir="ltr"><div><div>Laurelwood coverage is better, now that they have a tower near the Boardwalk. <br><br></div>Wind also now has a cheap "Wind Away" coverage. Which is kind of roaming, but with rates that are comparable to a pay as you go: 15¢/min, 5¢/text, and 5¢/MB. "Wind Away" is no longer considered roaming, which kind of sucks in some ways, because I've occasionally ended up in an Away zone while in a building in a less-good coverage area (namely, work). So I've turned off things like podcast downloading and photo uploading on mobile data. But it does mean if I need to check data while I'm home in Belleville or something, I know my bill isn't going to be exorbitant. <br><br></div><div>I recommend it.

To be clear, I only have poor coverage from Wind where I live, in Emira. Coverage in KW and TO is fine. </div></blockquote><div><br></div></span><div>Not all of KW.
