Fido's Latest Offer: A Closer Look
If you visit Fido's website, you'll notice their new promotion featuring mobile hotspot access and an additional 10GB of data.Sounds appealing, right? Unluckily, this deal falls short of expectations.
Comparing Hotspot Access
To start with,many other carriers provide hotspot access at no extra cost. This is particularly frustrating considering that Fido had previously removed hotspot features from its plans. Additionally, Fido continues to offer only LTE speeds while just last month, their plans were actually $5 cheaper than they are today for the same services. If you check out Fido’s September offers you'll see that current plans are pricier for the same amount of data even when including the “bonus” data. It truly seems like the company is trying to raise prices now so that their Black Friday promotions look more impressive.
The New Plan Details
The updated plan options are as follows:
- $45 – 20GB with unlimited calling and texting within Canada plus 500 international texts.
- $50 – 50GB with unlimited calling and texting within Canada plus 500 international texts.
- $55 – 70GB with unlimited calling and texting within Canada plus 500 international texts.
A Frustrating Trend in Telecom Marketing
What really bothers me about these offerings—and telecom marketing in general—is how misleading it can be. New data plans seem to appear constantly,yet only a fraction truly deliver value while all are promoted as amazing deals.
Exploring Better Alternatives
If you're looking for a genuine bargain, consider switching to another wireless provider—ideally one not affiliated with the Big Three.As a notable example, Freedom Mobile has a competitive $39 for a 60GB plan covering Canada/U.S./Mexico. Meanwhile, Fizz is currently offering plenty of free data perks for Black Friday. Even Public Mobile (which operates under Telus) has decent options like a $40 plan providing 40GB on a 5G network across Canada/U.S./Mexico.
Your options Matter!
In today's market filled with choices and promotions that often miss the mark on value, it's essential to do your homework before committing to any plan. With so many alternatives available from smaller providers offering better deals without hidden fees or restrictions on features like mobile hotspots or speed limitations—it's worth exploring your options thoroughly before making any decisions.
