Yes, and when Fido was a separate company, they offered an unlimited data plan that was years ahead of its time. Mind, it was $50/month and only GPRS, but I was happy as were many others. Shortly after they "merged" with Rogers, the plan disappeared, and now it's being trickled back to us, one kilobyte at a time.

@Vince Mailing, it's ok assuming you use the WAP browser, but for anyone who wants to use a third party smart phone with high speed internet in an HTML browser on a constant basis it's inadequate. Of course you are off in the woods if you do that anyway, Fido will blame everything that goes wrong on your handset. The sad fact is there's no real competition in Canada, and with Rogers owning Fido, the only two GSM providers, the situation is worse since they can create simulated competition. In my case I'm getting burned because I ended up on Fido and it's clear Rogers is the business side of things (I have a big credit at Fido that is useful for a bunch of mostly "fun" phones I have no interest in).

Still, this is some sort of good news, and I hope it kicks up real competition.

Serhei, keep it up. Some day it might make a difference. Heh heh heh.

I actually wrote government bodies about the sad state of Canadian flat rate wireless Internet, and have tried various other venues. It seems pretty hopeless. With Rogers owning Fido, there's no real competition in this country for real Wireless, like every other country has.
