Fido/Rogers does…..goodish

Rogers/Fido has dropped their prices and increased their data allowances with the recent uproar over the release of the iPhone 3G in Canada. A quick call to Fido and my charges have gone from $100 for 200 MB to $30 for 300 MB. It’s not unlimited but I can’t fault them for reducing the price (finally) and increasing the allowance. Now I do feel as if I’ve subsidized the adoption of data plans into Canada but hey, I’m Canadian, eh. We seem to be ok with living within our tax structure.

Whatever the case, I won’t be complaining about Fido for a while.

AG mobile

I’m using my phone quite a bit these days for mobile internet/bluetooth modem. Most sites I hit show full web pages by default; I can’t think of one that gives me a mobile version by default. Bandwidth plans in Canada are pretty pricey so it can be quite annoying to watch MB burn as you load some homepages.

So to do my part I installed Wordpress Mobile Edition and now the site has a nice little low bandwidth version for mobile access. Without changing the url.
