FWIW, I just called Fido threatening to leave based on an offer from Bell via the large company I work for.

My current plan (subsidizing an iPhone 6 bought Jan/15)
City Fido Multi-Zone: $35.00
2gb Data: $35.00
Unlimited Canadian LD: $12.00
iPhone Value Pack (Visual Voicemail, Caller ID, blah blah): $12.00
Total cost: $94.00

I told them the comparable offer via corporate is 4gb/Unlimited Canada Wide calling/comparable features for $60.00

Their response basically was there is no way in hell they can get anywhere near that.

My new plan:
Unlimited Voice (to/from anywhere in Canada)
4gb Data
Spotify
iPhone Feature Pack (incl Visual Voicemail)
Cost: $90.00 / month
Subsidy: -$10.00 / month
Total Cost: $80.00 / month for 6 months, will renegotiate at that time.

It's not nearly what Ronin claimed to receive and from this guy's tone, I believe quite strongly there is no way he could get there. Maybe things would be different with BYOD but definitely did not seem possible with a subsidized phone.

It's not cheap, but it's more than I will ever need so I am okay with this offer and will beat them up after 6 months to see what can be done at that time.

Hope this datapoint is helpful.
