Quebecor’s Videotron has launched a new Canada-US promo plan that undercuts big telcos Rogers, Telus and Bell if you bundle internet with your cellphone plan.
In a change made late Tuesday on its website, Videotron’s $55/40GB Canada-US roaming plan received 10GB of extra data, becoming a $55/40GB plan.
The ‘All-Inclusive Canada-US’ plan with 40GB now is being marketed as 25GB + bonus 25GB, for 50GB total. The plan includes unlimited calling and texting in Canada and the USA. There’s also a 100GB bonus data per year in Canada. The plan says you get data “at full speed at all times.”
The $55 per month price is a discount only if you have two services with Videotron (internet and wireless).
Videotron’s Freedom Mobile is offering a $50/40GB Canada-US plan that does not require a bundle of services. This Canada-US plan is being matched by Fido only in Quebec. Outside of Quebec, Fido, Virgin Plus and Koodo are all offering the $50/40GB plan, with just today Koodo matching its rivals.

The real bonus is the international Wifi calling while roaming – it is not treated as a roaming call (as the cartel members do), it’s free if you have WiFi access. Could not make it working with a data eSIM ( I guess that’s a phone limitation, but it would have been sweet).
But don’t expect 5G outside a few pockets in Montreal and Quebec City and speeds rarely hit 100Mbps where I am.
