Fido Internet 50% off and $50 accessory credit

Britex wrote: ↑ I got the 50% off from last year's promo and on my bill it specifically says "Fido Internet 150 + Mobile". I was not an existing customer. I did not and still don't have mobile service with Fido. It was set up by a Fido rep, not an authorized dealer.

I think they can offer this exclusive "Fido Internet 150 + Mobile" offer to non-Fido Mobile customers if they choose to. It depends on the rep you get. YMMV. I know this because I also got this exclusive offer as a non-Fido Mobile customer from Walmart last year. The rep. put me into this exclusive plan without me asking. I only found out after I received my first bill. lol

Weird how they are so inconsistent in what they offer. I've been with them for a few years and would have probably accepted this lol.

Does anyone knows if we can book an install to be done by end of October ?

Following. Also wondering if possible to book for end of September?

Went to Wireless wave today a lunch. Deal out front say $50 for 150u. Guy said it's meant for existing Fido mobile customers (which I'm not). Said he would try and push it through for me. He didn't mention anything about a $50 accessory credit
Told him I'd be back on Monday to get it, as I didn't have time today, was on a tight schedule.

Will this also work at wireless wave?
Any success stories?

Just wondering if it's a good idea to wait for those who sign up late Oct/Nov for Black Friday deals again. Not sure if they will run another promo again tho. On Fido 150 plan

Nice of them. I called and they offered me one month free but it has to be activated within 7 days once you ge the deal. I was with virgin and was able to book the plan 2 months in advance.

If your current promotion is not scheduled to expire until Black Friday/Boxing Day, you should wait until then. Historically, Black Friday/Boxing Day had the best offer.

I got 150u today for 50$ a month at hillcrest mall wireless wave, no hassle. even got 50$ accessory credit without having to ask.

confirmed info: this deal is only available to fido existing wireless customer who does not have internet service.

Confirming the above as well for wireless wave at STC. 50% Offer is only available for those with a Fido mobile line but without internet prior ($50 for non-Fido customers) + $50 in store cred.

However, at Walmart, was able to finesse my way through a nice service rep there. Not sure what he did but was able to get me the $42.5 for 150mbps.

Are you a Fido cellular customer too? Online chat agent told me it was only for internet + wireless customers...

Fido tablet plan counts as well.

Nope just internet.

Can anyone more technically inclined than I tell me.how these plans (and speeds) compare to my current Rogers Ignite Internet 500-Unlimited plan? I'm paying apporx $100 / month for the Rogers plan. Thanks in advance.

Fido's max speed plan is 150mbps. But most people get more speed. So you will likely get around 200mbps. Same with Rogers. I am on Ignite 300, but I almost always get speeds in the range of 400-450mbps.
