Our Fido Review
Fido is Rogers's mid-tier sub-brand — the same Rogers 5G towers at prices typically $10–20/mo lower than Rogers direct, with no long-term contracts. Its plans have gotten less competitive since two price increases in April 2026, and Freedom Mobile now beats Fido on data-per-dollar for most Canadians. Where Fido still wins is the Rogers network in areas where Freedom's coverage thins out — smaller cities, suburbs, and anywhere outside Freedom's core BC, AB, and ON zones. If you're in a major urban centre where Freedom has strong coverage, Freedom is the better value; if you're in a smaller city or need coverage reliability outside the core metros, Fido on Rogers is worth the premium over Freedom.
Fido Plans Explained: What Changed in 2026
Fido raised prices twice in April 2026, making its plans less competitive than they were in 2025. Current Fido unlimited plans sit in the $50–65/mo range for mid-tier data amounts — a $5–10/mo increase from the prior pricing. Fido's "Extra Hours of Data" perk (five one-hour windows of unlimited speed per month) remains a unique differentiator not offered by Koodo or Freedom Mobile. Base plans cover Canada only; US roaming is available as a daily add-on ($12/day) or included on select higher-tier plans. For customers who rarely travel to the US, the base plan with a roaming add-on is the more cost-effective approach versus choosing a higher-tier plan for roaming inclusion.
Fido Coverage: Rogers Network in Key Provinces
Fido uses Rogers's physical network, which translates to strong coverage in Ontario, BC, Alberta, and Quebec. Rogers's 5G deployment covers all major Canadian cities, and Fido customers access the same towers (with slightly lower priority than Rogers direct). The weakness is Atlantic Canada: Rogers has a thinner Maritime presence than Bell, making Fido a poor choice for NS, NB, PE, and NL residents. In rural areas of its core provinces, Fido performs reliably for voice and data. The Rogers-Shaw merger strengthened coverage in BC and Alberta specifically, an improvement that benefits Fido customers in those provinces.
Fido vs Freedom Mobile: The Value Question
Freedom Mobile now undercuts Fido on data-per-dollar for most plan tiers — typically offering more high-speed data for $5–15/mo less in cities where Freedom has strong coverage. The tradeoff is Freedom's thinner coverage outside major urban centres. If you live and work in Toronto, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, or Ottawa and rarely travel rurally, Freedom Mobile is a better deal than Fido. If you need coverage reliability in smaller cities, rural Ontario, or anywhere in Atlantic Canada, Fido on Rogers is the more reliable choice. Koodo on Telus is a direct Fido alternative worth comparing — similar prices, comparable or better coverage in western Canada, and higher customer satisfaction scores.
Who Should Choose Fido?
Fido makes the most sense for: (1) Ontario and BC urban residents who specifically want Rogers network coverage at lower-than-Rogers prices and live in areas where Freedom Mobile's coverage is thin. (2) Customers who value the Extra Hours of Data perk for occasional high-bandwidth use without paying for a premium unlimited tier. (3) Rogers internet customers who qualify for a Fido bundle discount. After the 2026 price increases, Fido is harder to recommend over Freedom Mobile for price-conscious customers in major cities, or over Koodo for Canadians where Telus coverage is comparable.
