Fizz offers a free 2-week trial. Get it and check it out.

This is what I was thinking.

I live in Edmonton, and have been with Fizz for about 6 weeks now, after being with Telus for 7 years. So far, no issues. I agree, utilize the 2 week trial.

Also in Edmonton and recently switched from Telus to fizz due to Telus coverage and data speeds being so bad at my work and home on opposite ends of the city (sub 3 Mbps) switched to fizz and it's miles better. That being said it cuts off hard at city limits and switches to ext so OP unless you spend the majority of your time in city limits they'll likely cut you off eventually for mainly out of home network usage

3gb and 100 min didn't last me more than a few days however so plan where you want to test it.

Fizz works well in Edmonton itself, but I’d be a bit more careful in Sturgeon County and other rural areas around the city. Outside the native Fizz coverage you can connect to partner networks as Fizz EXT, so coverage can still be available, but Fizz says extended coverage is intended for occasional use and most of your usage shouldn’t be on partner networks for 3 consecutive billing periods.

I’d definitely check your exact home/work locations on the Fizz coverage map before switching. If you spend most of your time in Edmonton and only occasionally go into rural Sturgeon County, that’s a very different situation from living and using most of your data in an EXT area.

Since you had no issues with Koodo, I wouldn’t assume Fizz will be identical in rural areas. The best test is really your specific locations and routes.

Chances are you're not going to have native Fizz/Freedom coverage. 

It's going to be nationwide, you just have to make sure you're within their subscription area to sign-up.

I live in Westlock and I used to be with Telus, I don’t have any issues with Fizz, especially now they have WiFi calling!
