First Koodo flips the script on its $34/month plan to increase 40GB data to 50GB, and now rivals have woken up to match.
Fido and Freedom Mobile have just edited their Black Friday plans to note their $34 plans now include 50GB of data. Fido’s data is at 4G LTE speeds, while Freedom Mobile’s plan remains at 5G.
The $34/50GB plan is for bring your own device customers after automatic payments discounts, while Freedom says theirs includes a $5/month credit for 24 months. Both promos end on November 27, 2023.
As of writing, Virgin Mobile has yet to match the $34/50GB plan, but should shortly.
Also, it’s worth noting Koodo kiosks and dealers are also offering a $29/30GB plan. This is not available online. Time to actually leave the house and talk to other people (and waste time waiting) if you’re willing to save $5 and you’re okay with 30GB of data (it should be more than enough for the average user).

I chatted with Freedom via iMessage yesterday and they bumped me from the original 30GB/$39 BYOD Black Friday plan to the updated 40GB/$34 BYOD plan (shouldn’t have given me the extra $5 as an existing customer but wasn’t going to say no). Let’s see if they’ll bump me to 50GB today!
I jumped early to get the $34/20GB 5G deal. Then I saw this 50GB deal. Reached out Freedom, no answer. 10 hours later they responded. Now both me and my wife have the 50 GB deal. I went from 18 GB LTE to 50GB 5G in a span of 3 days at the same price. So is this what real competition looks like? Totally insane!
Signed up as a new customer LAST NIGHT for Virgin Plus at the 40gb however after being bounced around and told they will not match and the only way I can get it is to refuse the SIM card that will be sent to me and see if that offer is available later on I’m prob just going to sign up with one of these carriers and refuse the sim in its entirety since the offer won’t be around by the time all that is mailed out and returned. Crazy company.
