I just switched to the Holiday Miracle Plan from WindMobile.ca. I thought I’d mention it since it’s not advertised, but a fantastic deal. You have to sign up by December 26th, but you get to keep this rate for as long as you are a customer.

In short: it’s unlimited-everything for $40/month. It’s Wind, so there are no contracts, hidden fees, or strings attached.

I got a SIM card from WIND on Friday, [the opening day]{nexus-on-wind-in-ottawa}, and put it into my Nexus One. All of a sudden everyone I know wants me to drop by their house to test the service there. Guys, it’s only $15 for a month of testing… :D

So far, in my neighbourhood (Central Park), and the surrounding area (drove down Merivale, Baseline, Carling, and Kirkwood), I get 3-4 bars (out of 4). I am well covered here, it seems.

I visited the WIND Mobile store at Westgate Mall this morning and signed up for WIND service. (I was the first geek there… yeay!) I am using my Nexus One and getting 3..4 bars for voice (out of 4), and decent data throughput.

I heard that WIND stores were actually open in Ottawa, but they are not authorized to sell anything yet.

One such store is 5 minutes from my house, at the Westgate mall, so I dropped by on my lunch break.
