These two are like brothers fighting over toys. This morning, Telus filed legal action against Rogers for misleading advertisements claiming that Rogers is "Canada's fastest network". Rogers has been running these ads, along with another one whose slogan is "Canada's fastest network: two times faster than any other" since 2007. We have seen them all...

Recently Rogers and Fido both updated their various iPhone related value packs to include Name Display along side the Caller Display feature. This was primarily due to the release of iPhone OS 3.1, which, among other updates, brought with it the ability to use Name Display on the iPhone...or did it? After various personal testing...

As of November 5, 2009, the four major Canadian wireless carriers consisting of Rogers, Fido, Bell, and Telus are all finally running HSPA+ with network speeds of up to 21Mbps. For a country that is traditionally viewed as behind the technology curve, I feel pretty good about this. Not only do our four main carriers...

Just this past Wednesday, Bell launched their HSPA network. On Thursday, Telus followed suit and officially entered the 3G HSPA+ game too. With three networks in Canada now offering the iPhone, which one should you go with? On Thursday I had a chance to speak with reporter Ted Chernecki once again, regarding the iPhone in...

It seems that the folks over at BGR have heard whispers of a possible 8GB iPhone 3GS to emerge on AT&T. While many would say that it won't happen, it very well could considering Apple's current pricing schemes. This could also mean interesting news for Canada as many devices that are planned and released on...

More carriers of the iPhone are a good thing for Canadians. Yet, looking at our exclusive leaked Bell and Telus iPhone plans, one might think otherwise. Yesterday Bell issued a press release confirming their scheduled November 4th debut of their highly anticipated HSPA+ GSM network. The following excerpts are from their press release: "In two...

Naughty, naughty Fido! A few more of these kind of changes and you will have your own list of negative Fido moves! Effective November 3, 2009, the base $40 CityFido plan will now be $45 per month. This is a $5 increase over the previous price plan. The $60 CityFido plan has not been updated....

Then we reported about the new plans coming out and for all the latest price plan information, you can check out this consolidated post here.

With the recently released Bell and Telus iPhone plans, we have received yet another tip that Fido will be introducing a new combo price plan to combat the new offers coming from Bell and Telus. The offer from Fido includes daytime minutes, evening/weekend minutes and additional bonuses/promos. The plan, like the other available Fido plans,...

With the upcoming iPhone release from both Telus and Bell, I thought it would be interesting to take a look at the network coverage provided by all the carriers in Canada. As many know, Telus and Bell are launching HSPA+ networks, a complete departure from their existing CDMA networks. The new network technology also puts...

As both TELUS and Bell Canada have now announced that they plan to bring their own 21 Mbps HSPA+ network to Canada in November, both companies have finally announced that the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS will also be making their debut on TELUS and Bell. Bell announced the availability of the iPhone 3G and...
