Fido - My choice

As my ROGERS contact was coming to an end, I started searching for a new, better, service provider.

I was filled with hope and the promise that the Canadian service provider landscape has changed, more providers, more competition, prices are lower and the actual service is better and hopefully the customer services as well.

Now with over a dozen potential mobile service providers/carriers in my region - I started writing out the good/bad of each and every of the 13 providers I could find, I researched for info on the net and considered what I am interested in... so to cut a long story short I really liked Fido the most out of ALL the providers I looked at, for the following reasons:
  • 2 year contract (as opposed to 3 with EVERY other provider!)
  • Billing by the second (as opposed to billing by the minute with EVERY other provider!)
Anyway the rest of the features were also included, such as No Activation Fee and No Service Charges (many others provided these too) and the usual things like daytime minutes armed with a new billing by the second I can afford to have LESS! a bit of texting, and of course unlimited evenings and weekends.

I'm sold, because of the unique features and the usual ones, I went a head and got it!

The funny thing is, yes they are owned by Rogers now but if they provide such a significantly better service why should I care, I mean yes we all hate rogers and want them to go bankrupt the fact is they over charge the customers, have shitty customer service and no moral conscience but that's precisely why they are doing so well and will not be bankrupt for quit some time....but that's another post

So to balance out the rest of the more negative posts this one is actually THINGS TO GET!

Great job fido, good service, good price, and unique features. Thank you and lets hope everything goes well...

First bill came in and I had a critic about that HERE
