Fido Vs. Virgin Mobile

[specialoffers]

I am currently with virgin mobile but planning to move to fido....as both have Canada wide long distance plan.

Now my question is who has better coverage in Canada.

I know virgin is part of BELL and fido is part of ROGERS......

So which has better network over all.

Thanks in advance

I live in gta ... So both are same here ... But i wanna know ... If i am travelling with this phone ... Which one have better coverage in smaller cities...

again it all depends on where you are travelling... Rogers is usually a little better out east

If LTE is a concern to you, Virgin has a much much larger LTE footprint than Rogers/Fido. As gur3000 mentioned, just check the maps for where you plan on travelling; The Bell/Telus/Virgin/Koodo network definitely has much better coverage in rural BC and Telus & the BC government has committed to growing that network over the next few years but I can't say I've used either network outside of BC.

Virgin just matched Fido's new $25 plan today. Switched my uncle over to it from his old BYOP discounted plan. Same price for more!
