Mr.JDM
The only company that can waive the cancelling fee of your Fido Contract is Fido's parent company, Rogers. You can ask a Fido CSR to do an account port to Rogers and your contract termination fee would get waived. However, the catch is to sign a 3 year contract with Rogers.
I don't know how much you use monthly but Fido got some new package this month or you can try calling retention and see what they can do for you

I mean, I'm sure you have, I don't mean it in a condescending way. But looking at Fido's price plans I think they're some of the best for power users.
You would be paying about $62 for unlimited calling and texting, including calling all over Canada, caller ID, visual voicemail and 500mb data. It's a very competitive price point.
Apart from the dirty 3 (Koodoo, Wind and Chat-R), any carrier you switch to, you'll probably be spending more money for less features, I believe.

They will not waive my early cancellation fee, but only reduce it to $100. Are you speaking from experience that a port from Fido to Rogers is free?

Are you speaking from experience that a port from Fido to Rogers is free? | Fido to Rogers is generally free. It varies from account to account and I'm sure there is a formula they look at. ie: how many months are left in your contract, how many services you have with them and of course how much you pay/month. But, I've yet to encounter a person who hasn't had success porting from Fido to Rogers. And I probably know about a dozen, personally, who have done so.

I heard bell pays for your cancellation fee if you switch over to them. They have some decent couples plan right now I think.

$100 to cancel a contract with a year left isn't bad - you're only paying off $8.33/month. If I was me, I'd send them a $100 bill with blood on it and tell Fido to get stuffed. Of course, that's not based on personal experience, just on a dozen or so friends who've used and despised Fido over the years.

dont' know where u guys are getting the $10 per month remaining from for voice.. it's $20 per month for voice up to a maximum for 400 and $10 for data up to a maximum for $200. Fido to rogers interbrand = waived early cancellation provided you meet ALL of the criteria. Rogers to Fido = reduced to $100. Bell does not pay you to switch, you have to get a small business plan x 2 to get the bill credit and bell is really strict when it comes to small business so you have to be legit and able to provide proof.
