When is 5G coming? Fido is behind the competition

When is 5G coming to Fido? Both of the Virgin, Koodo even Public has access now. I know its speed limited but its to have access to the 3500mhz frequency which has a lot more capacity. Rogers has this support for the main brand but still not on Fido.

 

I have an offer from Bell for $55/120GB, same price I'm paying fido for 70gb (50gb+20gb bonus).

 

If Fido doesn't offer some new 5G plans with competitive pricing, i'll be leaving after only 1 year.

 

Also - why isn't there an option in the self  serve plan selection to choose something less costly than what your current plan is? I myself don't use as much data in the winter months as I do in summer, and there is no way to downgrade to save money. There used to be lower plans, even with much less data, but they existed. Now everything is $55 for me nothing lower. I only get offers that cost more. Insulting.

Good morning @MK78 fido doesn't have any immediate plans to add 5g. There are numerous threads on the forum talking about it. If you look through some of the latest replies, you'll find the explanation.

The explanation given to some of those posts is laughable, such as "Fido continues to invest in LTE network".

 

Fido doesn't invest anything. Rogers builds the network. The LTE network is built. Its not being expanded in the vast majority of the population centres. Rogers is building out 5G, not LTE now.

 

I'm good as gone when black friday deals come up from the competition.
