Back in November, we first told you that Koodo’s online self-serve portal was showing a new “Unlimited Data perk”. The company later told us that it was “put up in error” for some customers.
But now, it appears that “error” has become a reality as Koodo has officially launched new unlimited data and 5G speed boost perks.
Koodo says there are now two new perks for select Pick Your Perk plans starting at $60/month ($55/month in Quebec).
Unlimited Data provides your data bucket at the advertised speeds, but when that runs out, you’ll still have data but throttled to 512kbps for the remainder of your bill cycle.
As for 5G Speed Boost, this will double your 5G speeds from 250 Mbps to 500 Mbps. Koodo launched 5G speeds back in August.
“With Koodo’s Pick Your Perk plans, customers have even more options to personalize their plan with a free feature of their choosing – with different rate plans offering different perk options to select from,” explained a Koodo spokesperson to iPhone in Canada. “These new perks are just another way Koodo helps customers create a plan that’s just right for them,” added the company.
If you’re a heavy data user, the Unlimited Data perk might be of interest, since Koodo still charges a whopping $130/1GB in overages, if you choose to accept them.

Good to see expanding offers, especially unlimited data which rather eliminates the crazy overage fees but this is all to entice people to higher cost 5G plans and unfortunately 5G doesn’t really exist in Canada yet. Speeds are still quite abysmal but that doesn’t stop the marketing machine.
Well I updated my plan with Koodo to 5G which works much better near the US border in Niagara Falls area. The 5G stays connected in many places where 4G did not. I got 100gb of 5G data, unlimited calling and texting, and US roaming all for 60/month through the offers on my Koodo self serve, change your plan feature. I also bought a new Pixel 7 four months ago, for 0 down and 11/month 2 year tab that came with a $350 bill credit over 15 months! So Koodo more than paid me to get a new phone (my galaxy S20FE screen was cracked so big bonus!) Just have to stay with Koodo for two years! Not hard to do that as I’ve been with them for over 10 years now! They have always been pretty fair and helpful and I am so glad they are offering such good data plans now! The US roaming is great and no more worrying about connecting to a US carrier when I drive along the Niagara Parkway!
Also my phone works well in my house, something Rogers service does not do!
