Rogers, Bell and Quebecor Commissioned a Report. It Says They’re Having a Hard Time.
Canada's telecom sector says it made a big difference to the economy in 2025, contributing $86 billion to the country's GDP, according to a new PwC Canada report. That works out to roughly 4% of Canada's total economic output, with the industry supporting 611,000 jobs across the country. The report, funded by the Canadian Telecommunications...
Should I be the first to call the cops to report a consumer robbery?
Make sure you don’t use all your included minutes in your plan though.
Wow, what’s 200MB’s gonna get you? One download a month or something like that?
One tweet.
Is there a report on the average usage for canadian client?s everyone i speak to uses at least 2GB. i used from 4-6 a month. Anyways my points this, with the push of all these smartphones to the consumers. why continue to advertise the Data features of the phone if your giving us plans that will force us to go over the limits of the plan?
That’s the whole point.
I only use about ~700 MB a month on average. So for me, a plan like this isn’t actually that bad. I mean even if I go over 500MB that’s only +$10 which makes this $50/mnth.
I completely agree with your point though. They should just price the plans so they have a reasonable amount of data built in. I highly no one will use only <200MB of data, unless they only use it for emergency type situations. I did that about 4 years ago, but now there is just so much you can do on the go, that data is really a great thing to have in everyday life.
T-Mobile offers 200MB free for the new iPad… just sayin’
We need real and more competition, it’s sad when Roam mobile gets us better deals to ROAM than anything we have here in Canada.
That plan sucks @ss. Primus, on the Rogers network, offers $40 for 500MB, 200 daytime, unlimited Canadian long distance, evenings at 6PM, full VM (instead of the 3 message mini that Fido offers) CID with name display and unlimited MMS/SMS (international). So, much better (much more data, better VM and $10/GM overages) for the same price.
And the have a promo on right now to double the data and the minutes, so it is actually 400 daytime and a full GB of data for $40. Oh, the promo also includes making the plan 1/2 for the first 6 months, so only $20, saving a total of $120.
The only downside is that you have to sign a 2 year contract, but way better than the Fido plan. The Primus site says it is HSPA but their reps say that is simply outdated info on the site and that the data is LTE in any area that Rogers has LTE.
Why would anyone sign for such a crap plan with Fido?
