Fido had some problem recently in GTA and GVA because of CityFido, - besides that they are fine. They've seen so many new users because of CityFido and the new unlimited received calls plan (check it here). I know they are working on it.

Telus have their own problems too - and quite frankly there is NO other provider in Canada that can match US roaming rate with Fido at $0.20US/min. I mean, it's cheaper to roam using Fido than using pre-paid in US.

And F2F for only $10 (fido to fido) is plainly awesome. You can call any Fido user and you don't get charged, regardless of where they are in Canada. This is good for us at the office where everyone is on Fido... we are saving so much!

Plus, they are the online carrier in Canada who still have per second billing, unlimited GPRS (wireless internet 50$) with no soft-cap. And LD are charged $0.10/min compared to rogers and telus at $0.25/min. And you can pre-pay your LD minutes and pay like $0.03/min with fido.

Bottom line is that I don't want to see Fido go away
