    AA> Anyone have experience with Fizz mobile?   
      
   I don't have experience with Fizz directly, but I do have experience with   
   Freedom Mobile.  Fizz is Freedom's flanker brand (like Koodo is to Telus, Fido   
   is to Rogers, etc).   
      
   Freedom worked fine while I was in one of their main coverage areas, but   
   driving between towns & cities was hit or miss.  Even between where I live in   
   Binbrook over to Hamilton I'd often hit a dead zone.  Another time I was   
   driving to St Catharines on Highway 20 and while I have "service" (bars   
   showing on my phone) I wasn't able to use data for about 20 minutes until I   
   got to an actual Freedom zone.   
      
      
   One thing to keep in mind with Fizz is to make sure that his address is in   
   Fizz's coverage area:   
      
   "The majority of your usage (calls, texts and data) must be done on the Fizz   
   network.   
      
   We reserve the right to interrupt or block access to our network of partner   
   providers if you use your mobile service primarily on their networks for 3   
   consecutive payment periods."   
      
   Check his address (or where he'll be using the service most) here:   
      
   https://fizz.ca/en/coverage#map   
      
      
   Both my parent's places (Bracebridge & Utterson) are outside of their   
   subscription areas, so they aren't able to switch to Fizz (the website   
   wouldn't even let them sign up with their home addresses).

   ... I'm going to make a prediction - it could go either way
