Fido or Rogers plan for the iphone? Empty Fido or Rogers plan for the iphone?

Hello

Maybe someone out there can help me with this.

I am going to get the iphone 3GS either with Fido or Rogers.

Fido: $25 for 100 minutes (billed by the second, which is supposed to be 40% better than 100 "billed by the minute" minutes), unlimited evenings/weekends starting at 7pm, additional $10 for visual voicemail and call display, and additional $30 for 6GB promotional data plan. Total: $65 plus GST.

Rogers: 300 minutes (billed by the minute), unlimited evenings (start at 9pm) and weekends, visual voicemail and call display, 6GB data. Total: $77.45 + GST.

Based on the above, I'd go with Fido, simply because it would be $12 less per month, and evenings start at 7pm instead of 9pm. But when I talked to Rogers, they said that I will get inferior coverage and data speed with Fido, because Fido does not use ALL of Rogers' cell phone towers. Rogers said that their data speed is between 2 and 7.2 MBps.

THEN I called Fido, and they said that what Rogers told me is not true, and infact you will not notice a difference between data speed on Fido vs Rogers on the iphone 3GS. The Fido guy said that Fido uses 100% of the Rogers towers at the exact same capacity as Rogers (which means that if this is true, the Rogers person I spoke to was either not being honest, ignorant, or speaking half-truths). I was told that Fido's data speed is between 5.8 and 8.7 MBps (faster than Rogers). On top of that, I was told that Fido has additional towers that Rogers can't use, so infact, if anything, Fido has better coverage / signal strength.

The Fido guy also told me that Rogers does not 100% own Fido. It seems like Rogers and Fido are competing against each other, which surprised me, because I was under the impression that they are basically the same company.

Can anyone tell me what to believe?
