Fido unlimited data plan update?????

[Da Hawks]

FYI spoke to a CSR today that knew about the $50 unlimited data plan and he said that these plans would be allowed on LTE. This is the first time I have heard this. Has anyone talked to Fido about this lately

There's no way he knows, since Fido hasn't made any announcements about LTE yet..

Was with fido nearly 2 years ago. Was told by retention they'd give me unlimited data for a extra 100.00 a month(ontop of whatever i pay for phone service).

I'm confused. Is the above a question or a statement?

[Fortissimo]

I have had this twice. First time since early days of GPRS, terrible speed, worse stability and connections. So I cancelled it and bought a Hiptop and had Hiptop $20. option on top of $10. Retention Plan. Later on I got another one from a friend, ToR. And then later when they won't allow combining it to my CityFido line, and I wanted to have data on my voice line w/ then new iPhone 3G, I cancelled it a few months after I got 6GB data. Just duplicated and $57. + tax mostly wasted (one month I used 8MB even before I got the iPhone 3G). At that time, no ToR is allowed anymore, so I gave it up.

Fido removed the U.S. roaming portion of the $50. plan, which originally included both Canada and U.S. Fido had charged my 2 friends U.S. roaming by mistake even BEFORE they pulled it. They both got their money back, but one had to fight a lot, his bill was over $1700. Another friend had a much lower bill and got it back more easily.

Since Fido can remove the U.S. roaming without much consequence, I suppose they could remove anything else they want with it, since it's pretty much the same. I didn't have the motivation to sue them so I just gave up. (And last year, I finally cancelled my last line w/ Fido, and 3 friends have followed me to quit Fido since then).

In other words, who knows. But I wouldn't be surprised if they will change something. After all, the plan only said Unlimited GPRS, muhahahaha. All so called confirmations that EDGE worked (big thread here then when EDGE came out), and same during UMTS/HSPA came out, but all over HoFo unofficially. Nobody (at least not my friend or myself) received a letter from Fido confirming that they wouldn't be billed extra since it is no longer GPRS.

Or as they say, once hurt, twice shy.

Do you see a question mark? Someone invented punctuation marks a long time ago to avoid such confusion.

I have had the GPRS since pretty much the week it became available.

Based on what happened with 3G, EDGE, what the entire network gets, the unlimited GPRS gets..

If Fido decides to roll out new sim cards for all customers to have LTE access, it should be available to UL GPRS.

LTE is, though, one thing that Rogers could delay Fido getting in any way to differentiate the product a bit more. And they've been looking for something, for a long, long time to say our network is different/better, when it wasn't.

Rogers is hoping that people will forget that FIDO had GSM first, SMS services first, and even data services first.
