In fact, if they did that, they'd easily retain myself and my family as clients. Right now, we're very close to switching networks. Their prepaid offerings are a ripoff.

Sounds like it. Does this mean Bell is going to reposition Virgin Mobile as a WIND Mobile clone in 2010? Sounds like it.

Since being bought out by Bell, Virgin has seen prices drop, better devices, and now the big news that we're going to be seeing bigger and better devices. Everything that was lacking with Virgin before when they were an MVNO has been slowly changing since being adopted by Bell. I don't think Virgin will ever offer as many devices as Bell, instead Virgin focuses on a different market. And lets be honest here: with the launch of Wind, Dave, Videotron, and Public prices will only fall in the next couple of years. Canadians have been paying too much, and the bubble is going to burst.

All this means to me as a Virgin customer is that I'm going to see the prices go higher and higher. Sad.
