Just recently, Fido announced their new offering which includes Internet data plans via 3G. Their latest offering follows numerous complaints from Fido’s users, who had to pay expensive data plans ranging from 1MB for $12 and 200MB for $100.

Fido launches 3G network

The new plans are not only cheaper, but also much faster as they rely on Fido’s new 3G network. Under the new plan, 12 MB costs $10 per month; or $18/month with a “value pack” that also includes Enhanced Voice Messaging, call display, name display, who called, as well as 2,500 SMS per month.

In addition, Fido has also launched video, radio and mobile TV services…

    Yea 12 megs on a 3G network is about erm.. about 34 Seconds!!!

    See they keep making the network faster and faster but they are increasing the cost of using it.

    GSM they used to have a unlimited plan for 50$
    Edge they has 250Megs for 100$ 2.5megs per 1$
    3G they have a 12Megs for 10$ 0.12Megs per 1$ *or 5$ if you have the 18$ Valuepack*
