I switched to Freedom as well and I live in an area (SW Ontario right off the 401 between KW and London) where Freedom only has towers right near the highway which means I am on their "Nationwide" coverage frequently and constantly switching between Freedom, Nationwide on Bell/Telus (they share a network in this area), and Nationwide on Rogers when Bell/Telus is not available.

The fact that Bell, Telus, and Rogers don't allow Freedom to offer 5G roaming yet is problematic since they have all refarmed spectrum to offer 5G and 5G+ meaning their LTE coverage has degraded. This means Nationwide is occasionally very poor quality for those who need it. That said, I'd rather be part of forcing their hand to be better and save money while at it than have perfect coverage on every country highway (Telus/Bell were far far far from perfect here too hahah - Rogers is the undisputed coverage leader in this neck of the woods but I won't give them my money)
