http://www.photojim.ca/cellular.html ... I need to update it a little but
it's still in the ballpark of being up-to-date.
In short, SaskTel has superior coverage, but Rogers has superior hardware.
This supposes that the plans are equal, and they often aren't. My corporate
Rogers plan is hugely cheaper than anything I can get from anyone else, so
that mitigates the coverage issues.
I use Rogers for my primary phone and I have a prepaid Virgin phone (I don't
discuss Virgin on the site yet but I will look to update that). Virgin is
cheap to keep running and that way I have coverage everywhere the SaskTel
people do, albeit using two phones.
