I think that FIDO is trying to compete with WIND.
I also think we are seeing some competition between carriers or FIDO is in the Christmas spirit! lol
If fido were to bring back the old city fido plan
for 45-50 I would go with them in a heartbeat
rather than wind cus tere more reliable network
even though it is Rogers but less chance of
dropped calls and has better coverage
Fido raised their price for the base City Fido Plan a couple of months ago; likely when they thought that Wind was a nonstarter. This is just one example of how competition is improving the lot of consumers in Canada. It will be more interesting to see what Rogers, Fido, et al do in response to the unlimited data plans introduced by Wind. I suspect they won't respond in kind until Wind is more widespread across Canada and has a more reliable network. Nevertheless, I do expect to see unlimited data plans offered by all 4 major carriers (5 if we count “Dave”) by then end of 2011. Here's hoping anyway.
