Your first bill should show you a breakdown of all the fees for the first partial month and for the second full month.

The regular full price of the 75 Mbps service is $65.00 per month ($57.00 service + $8.00 modem). With the 50% discount, it's $32.50 per month ($28.50 service + $4.00 modem).
The regular full price of the 150 Mbps service is $75.00 per month ($67.00 service + $8.00 modem). With the 50% discount, it's $37.50 per month ($33.50 service + $4.00 modem).

Is this offer/deal dead now then since it's Dec.2nd?

I'm curious, I'm on Rogers 1Gbps. I know we truly never get 1Gbps speeds, but 150Mbps would not be enough for 4K/gaming and 5-6 people in a house, correct?

Even Netflix 4k streaming recommends 25Mbps only. So depends on what u all doing and if simultaneously. Imo should be enough, unless u all straight downloading large files all the times

Just signed up with Fido for the 150plan $37.50 +150GC - live chat is still offering it.

No shipping fee, no activation fee, free modem rental and no contract. Can't go wrong with this deal for 12 months

Been trying forever all day to get this via Live Chat... I assumed the deal was dead, going to try again now. Thank you.

Got connected on the first try, on live chat within a minute around 1pm - had the whole thing setup in 15min tops.

got the black friday deal 150 MBPS for $37, plus $150 prepaid mastercard, no installation, No modem rental fee, modem will be mailed (they suppose to email me a tracking number once the modem is shipped), all this over the phone call to fido Internet department.

Got the deal, though Rep said both are valid, the $150 GC is "While Supplies Last". At the time of signing up the card was available so we'll see. Either way, $37.50 for 150M is cheaper and faster than the $69 I'm paying TekSavvy for 75M.

But they told me that I can get neither the 150 GC nor 50% as an existing customer. It's for new activation only. But what they can do is to add a second line in my account then cancel the first one. In this way, I will be able to take advantage of this offer. But I will have to get a new modem and return the old one through purolator with a pre-print label.

So for existing customers, you don't have to cancel your service first before signing up for the new one.

Thank you for the info.

So what is the protocol here?

wait for new modem to arrive → pull the old one → plug new one in → wait for new modem to be provisioned = new ip address → take the old modem back to Fido store and cancel old account there (assuming it came from said store originally a year prior)? And... all done?

But teksavvy just published an article about why not to go with Virgin or Fido for internet. They also made it explicit that they are not suggesting us to go with teksavvy but should definitely consider individual ISP to help out small biz.

I'm all for helping smaller businesses, heck I bought a lot of my Christmas presents locally this year. But, at the same time myself and everyone is trying to save money right now with what's going on in the world. I called TekSavvy before switching and was offered 0 discounts. As much as I wanted to continue supporting TekSavvy after switching to them from Rogers, I simply cannot pay the prices for the speeds they offer.

That on top of the constant DNS issues I had with them and have complained about for the past year and change made it easy for me to switch to Fido. So far it's been a lot more reliable than TekSavvy.

Yes there is some bureaucratic bull with the CRTC regulating Internet service and what the small guys pay. But at the end of the day, consumers only want cheaper, reliable service and TekSavvy didn't fit this bill for me. Sorry.

I'm wondering if anyone has received the prepaid MC card.
Checked everywhere but didn't see when will Fido issue it.

When I signed up the rep said it should take 4-6 weeks, following this thread to see if anyone else received theirs yet.

lots of ppl who signed up directly with Fido already got $150 gift card invite email... even the ppl who signed up like 2 weeks ago...

so can anyone who got $150 gift card recently report back to us please????

Thank

No, I signed up via phone call.

no more waiting for me, just took 5 minutes to file CCTS complaint.. don't want to waste my time to contact Fido and get round a round.

btw, I've waited 8 full weeks, signed up on Nov 26.
