\"Close-up<\/a><\/p>\n

Fido customers<\/a> are seeing a $4 price hike show up on their bills, and a lot of them are not happy about it, especially since some only signed up a few months ago.<\/a><\/p>\n

The complaints started piling up on the r\/FidoMobile subreddit this week, with one user laying out exactly what happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cI got 4 lines transferred to Fido from Telus in March this year and got the $25\/80GB Canada\/US\/Mexico plans. Just got a message on my June statement saying they\u2019ll be a price increase of $4 plus tax on each line in July. This is ridiculous! Price increase in 3 months only!!!! Very frustrating! And the data speed is very slow in many areas in GTA. The network seems to be very congested most of the time during the day.\u201d<\/p>\n

Back in March, Big 3 flanker brands launched $25\/80GB promo plans that included US-Mexico roaming. That promo pricing didn\u2019t last long. Typically it would be 12 to 24 months, but now the price is jumping just after three months.<\/p>\n

Fido\u2019s actual explanation, included<\/a> as a note on the billing statement, points to network investment as the reason for the hike.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe continuously invest in our network to bring you fast, reliable Canada-wide 5G coverage. To help support these investments, the monthly fee for your mobile price plan will increase by $4 (plus taxes), starting with your next bill, on or after July 15, 2026,\u201d the note reads. \u201cThis will appear as an additional line item under Monthly Charges on your monthly bill called Mobile Plan Rate Adjustment. The rest of your mobile services remain the same.\u201d<\/p>\n

The increase isn\u2019t limited to one specific plan either. Other users in the thread reported the same $4 bump on different price points, including the $24, $28, and $29 plans. \u201cI am on the $24 plan and i got this price increase too. Typical Rogers behaviour,\u201d one commenter wrote, referring to Fido\u2019s parent company.<\/p>\n

Another user summed up the frustration over the short timeline. \u201cEven so, it\u2019s a bait and switch after 3 months only,\u201d they wrote.<\/p>\n

Some commenters suggested jumping ship altogether, pointing to Koodo\u2019s winback offers or Freedom Mobile<\/a> as alternatives that haven\u2019t raised prices the same way.<\/p>\n

If you jumped on this promo plan from Fido back in March\u2013you may want to check your billing statement for any price increases. Let us know in the comments if you\u2019re affected by this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Fido customers are seeing a $4 price hike show up on their bills, and a lot of them…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":750959,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[45,49,48],"class_list":["post-750958","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-business","tag-business","tag-ca","tag-canada"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750958","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=750958"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/750958\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/750959"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=750958"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=750958"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=750958"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
