Cellular Phone Forum / Providers / Fido / October 2003New Fido Unlimited Plan?
I just heard, but haven't gotten the particulars. But, apparently FIDO is offering an unlimited 24/7 plan (local only) for $40/month? Should one give up their regular land line? >I just heard, but haven't gotten the particulars. But, apparently FIDO is >offering an unlimited 24/7 plan (local only) for $40/month? Should one give >up their regular land line? www.cityfido.ca It's only available in Vancouver right now (test market). You could transfer your landline over, but it's not required to get the plan. How much with caller ID and CRTC BS fee is the total/month? Just a thought....what happens if you own a fax machine? : >I just heard, but haven't gotten the particulars.

AFAIK all "normal" Fido features are available for the same price, so CID would be $3/month IIRC. If you've got a fax then you've got an issue, I don't think Fido has fax reception anymore.

With the price of $9.00 and only receive, it may be better to stick with a land line. : fidofax is still available (it's for receiving faxes only) : http://www.fido.ca/portal/en/packages/optional.shtml look under business : messaging For the guys that still want fax while on City Fido, I have set up a fax to email account with Telus for $5/month So people just fax me a my Telus fax number and I received the fax as an email. To go the other way, you can get email to fax from Telus too.

City Fone is great but what happens if you have ADLS at home? > I just heard, but haven't gotten the particulars. But, apparently FIDO is > offering an unlimited 24/7 plan (local only) for $40/month?

Actually, there is a ruling that has come down (which Telus has appealled) where Telus WILL HAVE TO UNBUNDLE dsl service from requiring a mandatory landline as well.. AND the pricing will have to be competitive with what the value would have been if you just dropped the telephone service... > City Fone is great but what happens if you have ADLS at home? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.528 / Virus Database: 324 - Release Date: 10/16/2003 Don't hold your breath... > Actually, there is a ruling that has come down (which Telus has appealled) > where Telus WILL HAVE TO UNBUNDLE dsl service from requiring a mandatory [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > > Version: 6.0.528 / Virus Database: 324 - Release Date: 10/16/2003 > > Actually, there is a ruling that has come down (which Telus has appealled) > > where Telus WILL HAVE TO UNBUNDLE dsl service from requiring a mandatory > > landline as well..

Eternal pessimist aren't we? Oh, I think it'll occur, now, whether it'll occur in our lifetimes is up for debate. When have you EVER seen the government move "quickly" with this sort of thing? > Actually, there is a ruling that has come down (which Telus has > appealled) where Telus WILL HAVE TO UNBUNDLE dsl service from requiring > a mandatory landline as well..

You must still have a mandatory voice line, but it can now be with a different company from the xDSL provider. It will be news when you can have an xDSL connection and a cell phone with no landline. As of Friday October 17, 2003 Telus told me that if I cancel my landline, I lose my ADSL. : Actually, there is a ruling that has come down (which Telus has appealled) : where Telus WILL HAVE TO UNBUNDLE dsl service from requiring a mandatory : landline as well..

Only when/if Telus will lose their appeal will they unbundle DSL. : Actually, there is a ruling that has come down (which Telus has appealled) : where Telus WILL HAVE TO UNBUNDLE dsl service from requiring a mandatory [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] : > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). : > Version: 6.0.528 / Virus Database: 324 - Release Date: 10/16/2003 Switch to Shaw Harry. > City Fone is great but what happens if you have ADLS at home? > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). > Version: 6.0.528 / Virus Database: 324 - Release Date: 10/16/2003 It's only marginally more better (depending on where you are) and a lot more expensive. But, that's another topic all together. : Switch to Shaw Harry. U can't. I just found out. : City Fone is great but what happens if you have ADLS at home? |
