[Fido] FIDO Home Internet 50% Off - 150mbps for $44...YMMV

if you're looking to renegotiate your contract with fido, this is it. mine was up for renewal and chat csr said it would be $88/month for my 150/30 connection after my current $50 deal is over.

i whined a bit and she came back and offered me 50% off. i was originally paying $50/month because i whined last year. lol. now i'm getting an even better deal. whining works.

odd they don't offer the 150 on their site anymore. highest is 100. but if you currently have 150, you can keep it and get 50% off.

fido internet has actually been surprisingly great. very little downtime and even though i pay for 150, i get 200 sustained downloads and an initial burst of 250 for a few minutes.

Had that deal, but price has creeped up and they won't back down. Switching to Bell deal, seen on RFD.

Got 50% off back in aug when it was slightly cheaper, so im paying $42.50. I regularly get over 400mbps download speed on my 150 plan and they actually just bumped my upload speed to 30 from i believe 15. I've never seen my download speed below 375 mbps and the test I just ran clocked me at 538mpbs down and 28mbps up. I live alone so there is absolutely no value in changing plans. Hoping they can extend the 50% off promo when mines up in august.

Thx op. Was paying $50 + tax for 150 speed. Called them and they knocked it down to 45+ keeping same speed. Chat was down. Called and they picked immediately. Surprisingly painless.

you lucked out. i've never seen anything over ~300mbps down. i top out at 30MB/s which is right around 250mbps.

but you're right, their upload speed did increase last year i think. your price is a smoking deal.

I'm not knocking the deal, I have this for $42.50 and speeds up to ~400+mbps as well, even though I'm at 150mbps. But the billing is a nightmare, just a heads up. But you get the billing straight, you're good to go with renewal as long as you call them.

Wtf 50% off for 44$!!

Not saying is not a good price (I don’t know) Looks like internet increased price recently.
I pay 40$ for 100mb with IVC and I didn’t get 50% off. Flushed Face

I find Fido support has completely gone downhill in the last year. I was on 50 percent off from 2021. Recently, I had frequent billing errors that took up too much time and many unapologetic agents to have fixed.
Finally switched to $40 for 100mbps to a third party ISPs.

Would downvote for Bad Service if i could.

Agree with this 100%.
Used to have some billing errors year ago, but they could be easily fixed by using their chat. This year it went downhill big time! They charged me full amount in January and refused to adjust the amount to 50% off as agreed by the offer they send me in December. The CSR cannot adjust the bill amount anymore, you have to wait for the next bill generated by their system that will supposedly fix the issue. But guess what, the next bill is screwed up even more. I have cancelled Fido internet in February (switched to Acanac) and just received bill from Fido for March for full amount again. So now I have to wait another month to get "correct" final bill. It's a nightmare! So much wasted time on chat and phone.

I've been on this "deal" for years. It's just a marketing tactic. This is effectively the real price of their service.

F**kin annoying having to call in every year to get them to add the discount.

Rogers currently offering 1.5gbps for 35$
Also Bell is offering 1.5 gbps for 50$
If your building supports it “probably you’d have Rogers since you’re already with Fido” then that’s a way better deal than what you’re currently on

I just called customer service but was denied this offer saying it's not available for your account. My current plan is 150u (85$) with 35$ off ongoing promotion.
