[Fido] Chinese New Year special (internet 75u = $50/month) see pic for more detail

Retailer:: Fido

Saw this paid ad on WeChat directly. This is home internet. If you live in BC or AB, you cannot get this deal.

$75 per month -$25 credit = $50 per month.

1 year promo

Picture translation :

Enjoy this internet unlimited promo for the entire China year. $25 credit per month. 12-month promotion. Prices are subject to change without notice.

Thanks OP. Sorry, but not a good deal. $40 Virgin fibre + Fido deals for Black Friday and Xmas were much better.

We don't have shaw in Toronto. I assumed you are in BC.

The world doesn't revolve around Vancouver. It revolves around Toronto.

My fido internet has been unreliable lately. Have had to unplug modem multiple times a week to reset. So frustrating

My phone plan is $400 a month for 500 MB of data.
My internet plan is $199.99 for capped internet and slow speeds.
My credit cards are the ones with annual fees but terrible rewards.
Did I RFD correctly?

totally agree, no time machine to take us back to black friday.

out of interest, i checked the virgin website and they still have some discounts available if you chat online with CSR. not sure what they offer, and may be not apples vs. apples for 75 mbps. Virgin website worth a quick live chat to get a deal. i would bet my lunch you could do the same at fido.

shop around my friends, let's get rich together on RFD.
