[edit] Landmark commercial
Perhaps something should be included about FIDO's recent commercial - it features a man with a 'changing life' and the last two scenes include him in an apartment with a woman, presumably a partner, and then the next 'transition' features him with his arm around another man, who then 'snuggle' in together. Likely a fairly landmark situation on TV, as it's not often you see commercials nonchalantly presenting homosexuality in an everyday scenario, especially as if it was nothing out of the ordinary. I for one can't recall another commercial even featuring a gay couple that wasn't targetted at the gay community. 74.116.151.58 05:42, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
Errors checked ok!
Why the hell is there two paragraphs on employee's opinions on how their benefits changed after the Rogers acquisition? That's not remotely encyclopedia-worthy. --Westacular 00:42, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Rogers dats only?
The acquisition of Microcell by Rogers Wireless has been somewhat of a controversy among customers as well as employees. Some believe it to be a blessing while others are not happy with the transformation. As an example, Fido canceled their flat rate data plan shortly after the acquisition, and with the Rogers/Fido GSM monopoly, wireless data access is very expensive in Canada ($100 / 200 MB at the "best" rate)
It is true that Rogers/Fido does have a GSM monopoly (had to keep the evil Telus off of it </biased rant>) but they are not the only providers of wireless data, and their rates are similar to other providers.
Telus does offer a 1024 mb plan but it is still $100 for 250 mb. Bell's best plan is $100 for 250 mb. Fido itself has $100 for 200 mb. Telus and Bell do offer "Unlimited Mobile Browsing" on phones (but not PDAs or Laptops) for less than $10 a month. I am having trouble finding info on Rogers data plans, every link for "data plans" forwards me to business voice plans. Kc4 17:35, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Fido does not really offer Data Services with the exception of Blackberry Connect. Blackberry and PDA data plans are not available anymore with Fido. Only Rogers Data Solutions offer it. Medic48 23:19, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
