Starting today, Fido customers are being automatically upgraded from 4G LTE to 5G for faster, reliable connectivity Canada-wide – at no additional cost and no plan change required.
5G makes it easier for both new and existing customers to browse, stream, and stay connected on a network designed to keep up with life’s pace. With speeds up to 1 Gbps, customers with eligible devices will start immediately accessing fast, reliable 5G Canada-wide, including features they enjoy today like big data buckets and worry-free roaming options.
“We’re proud to bring fast and reliable 5G access to our Fido customers,” said Anne Martin‑Vachon, President of Wireless, Rogers. “This rollout provides Canada-wide connectivity our customers can count on at no extra cost.”
New customers joining Fido will now get 5G included on their plan from day one. Existing customers with 5G‑compatible devices can experience reliability and faster speeds with our automatic upgrade, expected to be completed March 18.
“Fido is all about keeping wireless service simple, affordable and easy to feel confident about. Expanding 5G access at no additional cost allows more customers to benefit from a fast and reliable network with no extra steps,” added Vachon.
Virtually all Fido customers are being uplifted to 5G, except those with Basic plans or Wireless Home Phone. Customers with devices that are not 5G‑ready will continue to enjoy the dependable 4G and LTE coverage they rely on today.
