Not "all". Fido still has many advantages. But Rogers did terminate
plans that compete at the business level (such as data-only plans which
Fido used to have, Fido doesn't support blackberries etc etc).

In fact, one 4 legged furry CSR told me that Fido was aimed at teenagers
and folks below 30 and no longer providing "business" services, nor
focusing on high end handsets.


At the height of Rogers's assimilation into AT&T, it shared not only
advertsing, but also various plans such as one that had no roaming
charges on Rogers or AT&T. When AT&T was forced to divert of its Rogers
holdings (as part of its purchase by Cingular), it appears that Rogers
also lost good roaming in the USA since it now charges significantly
more to roam in the USA than Fido does. (0.95 per minute versus Fido's
0.50 per minute).

But the Rogers/Fido roaming does include a whole plethopria of networks
in the USA. (whereas in the past, Roger's deals inluded only AT&T, and
Fido excluded AT&T).
