I have to disagree on that... my sister switched from Rogers to Fido because Fido was much cheaper, and everywhere she went she had HORRIBLE reception, with a phone that was supposedly great for it. Even in her own house she could not use her cell at all. Maybe it's better in Toronto, but Fido's signal is garbage here in Montreal.

I am going ot have to disagree as well.. I used to get 2-3 bars at my work from whereI sit now (right beside a window) and now I get 5 FULL strong bars. I can definately see the difference and Fido also dropped calls on me a lot. trancechaos RobbyG. I'm with Bell & gonna swith to Telus soon starsearcher quote: Originally posted by trancechaos :conf: why? moneyman I have never dropped a call, or had issues with fido unless i was near the edge of the coverage map, or in a building, which fido does such ass for. rogers has way better reception in buildings becuase rogers uses 1900Mhz/850Mhz gsm and fido is 1900Mhz/900Mhz the 850 Has way higher building penetration versus the 900Mhz. Fin.K.L I thought Fido has only single band either 1900Mhz or 900Mhz... Interesting to find out Fido has two bands of frequencies... Funkyfun thing is Rogers has a larger footprint than Fido..thus more areas covered...hoepfully this acquisition will make rogers upgrade Fidos network and improve overall customer experience moneyman quote: Originally posted by Funkyfun thing is Rogers has a larger footprint than Fido..thus more areas covered...hoepfully this acquisition will make rogers upgrade Fidos network and improve overall customer experience the deal is for the first 3 months fido users get to leech off the rogers network for free and use all the features, but after the 3 months to have use of all that its an extra 5 bucks a month, which is damn cheap and worth it.
