Looking to switch to Koodo

I wouldn't be surprised to see better than $45/4gb on Black Friday. That's a pretty common one for Koodo (and also pretty shit).

If you’re looking for a high data plan, stick with your Fido package

Assuming that voice is free

60$ / 15 Gigs = 4$ per gig

45$ / 4 Gigs = 11.25$ per gig

First off, have you tried calling into Fido and asking Loyalty what else they can do for you? There's a very (very) long thread in Hot Deals about Koodo handing out free data left and right. There's also the Fido Winback deal thread. While neither may be directly applicable to you, in short, the big 3 are finally taking Freedom/Shaw seriously and are upping their game to compete. If you're in the Freedom footprint, you may have more leverage. But even if you're not, a call (or 2) to Fido Loyalty and some luck with a good rep might get you what you want without having to switch.

NavieM has historically provided a lot of info on the various black Friday cell phone deals from his vintage point at Walmart. Take a look at his thread from last year. While I didn't follow it that closely, I got the feeling Black Friday was more about deals on hardware rather than plans last year. Time will tell this year.

Have you investigated Zoomer at all? It seems to be a recent darling of RFD. Runs on the Rogers network (and is actually owned by Rogers in the end), so it'll have the same coverage as Fido. There's a long thread in the ongoing deal section. They're a little quirky and their deals come and go, so make sure you read up on it first. But if the stars align, you should be able to get a sign-up bonus, a referral bonus, a free phone you can sell and a something along the lines of a $36 5GB plan.

Edit: Just saw your note on Fido being spotty for you. Zoomer may not work.

Edit #2: Maybe look into the Virgin Migration deals too.

Currently eyeing the $45 for 2GB+2GB offering right now. Like many others, eyeing a low cost, high data plan.

Fido/Rogers has splotchy signal in my part of the BC coast whereas Koodo/Telus rocks for coverage.

After a few attempts to negotiate a lower priced plan, Koodo finally relented so I’m now enjoying a $35/6GB LTE with unlimited everything else ... even though I’m challenged to use half the data or everything else despite NOT working from home

Wow thats a good price. How did you manage that as a new customer?

OP ... Wait for Black Friday deals. Also note that Koodo had freedom from Freedom promo back in September. They were also quietly offering same promo if you were coming over from Rogers or their flanker brands. Go to Koodo kiosks in a mall and just ask. They sometimes have un-advertised specials. Mention you are coming from Fido.
