You are correct, Sir! I generally have been rotating my lines between Koodo/Virgin every 9 - 12 months and every time I do I end up paying less for my service and picking up some Best Buy gift cards.

For anyone who doesn't know, from a network perspective:

Koodo = Telus

Virgin = Bell

FIDO = Rogers

There is no difference in service quality between the discount brands and the more expensive 'main' brands as they run on the same network.

To bring this back to AC, like a lot of the offers they present us (e-Store, etc), it might look attractive on the surface but if you crunch the #'s you find out quickly it's not a very good deal.
