Virgin Mobile’s $5 Price Increase for Gold Plans Now Live

On the weekend Virgin Mobile announced it had made a “mistake” with its new two-year term pricing on its Gold Plans and would increase its plans by $5, matching the same price as Fido’s Smart Plans. The plans have gone live and just now Virgin has updated its plans page to reflect the increased pricing:

So far, Koodo still has its Canada-wide voice and data plans starting at $40 (month-to-month), but given how we have seen our incumbents match each other’s prices in the past, this could change too.

No kidding, it looks like 65 bucks from every company for 1gb of data. Why not just have them all merge to save us the hassle

it’s the illusion of choice and competition. but i totally agree that they should just merge together. but now we have to think of a new name for the subsidiary telecos.

so since rogers+bell+telus = robellus

then fido+vigrin+koodo = fidrindo? fivigdo? haha
