The ‘Big 3’ telecoms continue to shift plans around at their flanker brands Fido, Koodo and Virgin Plus.
Koodo and Virgin Plus no longer offer a $34/50GB plan, which has been a feeble attempt to match the ongoing $34/50GB 5G Canada-US offer from Quebecor’s Freedom Mobile.
Fido still has the $34/50GB plan and it’s the only one showing on their site (outside of Quebec) for a while, which is weird.
Here’s what’s showing on the Koodo, Virgin Plus and Fido websites right now:
Koodo
Virgin Plus
Fido
Telus-owned Public Mobile still has a $34/50GB 5G plan, to go with $39/60GB 5G Canada-US and $50/100GB 5G Canada US plans, and $29/20GB (recently opened to existing customers) and $29/4GB 4G plans. There’s still outrage at Public Mobile for ending its legacy rewards program, a change kicking into effect next month.
It’s clear the best time to get a new plan with a flanker brand is during Black Friday. Rogers, Telus and Bell have yet to match Freedom Mobile’s permanent $34/50GB 5G Canada-US offer (we only saw Public Mobile temporarily offer it).

They usually do this at the beginning of every quarter.
Showing that the Big 3 and their flankers have absolutely no fear of CRTC, the Competition Bureau or Minister Champagne. Only real opportunity for Canadians to be get service at affordable prices (as found elesewhere) will be for government to step in and force issue.
I’d really rather not see that happen, but these corporations have shown absolutely no respect for Canadians
Apparently, they are already increasing the price of new user from 34$ to 39$.
My brother just received the email.
