What are Fido's policies around network throttling?

Asked 6 months ago
Fido has specific policies regarding network throttling, which is a way to manage data usage on their network. Generally speaking, network throttling occurs when a user exceeds their data limit during a billing cycle. Fido, like many other mobile service providers, may reduce the internet speed for users who surpass their allotted data capacity to ensure fair usage among all customers. This is referred to as prioritizing network resources. Fido employs a certain threshold of data usage that, when crossed, may trigger throttling. Although specific thresholds can vary depending on the plan selected, subscribers should pay close attention to their usage habits, as frequent exceedance could lead to a recurring throttling experience. Fido also promotes the use of its unlimited data plans that may come with certain limitations, often referred to as "deprioritized" data. Under these plans, once a certain data threshold is reached, the user's connection may be slowed during times of high network congestion, even if they have not reached their data cap. For the most accurate and up-to-date information regarding network throttling and how it might affect specific plans, users are encouraged to check the official Fido website. It contains detailed explanations of plan limitations and any other related policies.
