As you can see Fido lacks digital rural coverage, but the coverage it does provide is exceptional. If you are in the urban area and plan to stay there, you should check out Fido.

You can have a Monthly package.
You can have a pre-paid package.
Or, you can have a little bit of both, have the advantages of a monthly package, while paying it like prepaid. It is called "Monthly paid in advanced".
