Telus had some “promotional” plans that were set to end of July 14, and as of today, the company has increased the price of its premium 5G+ plans, which have the fastest download speeds of up to 2 Gbps.
Check out the changes below:
As you can see, there was a $10/month price increase to all 5G+ premium plans, now priced from $90/month for 150GB of data. Other Canada-US and North American plans cost $105 and $120 per month for 200GB of data (which is more than enough for the average person).
Let’s compare plans from Rogers and Bell…
Rogers:
Bell:
You can see the $65/75GB 5G plans are the same across the Big 3, while the Telus North American plan is $10 higher than its rivals at $120/month versus $110/month. Rogers has the ‘cheapest’ Canada-US-Mexico plan at $100/month, while it’s $110 at Bell and $120 at Telus.
We still have yet to see flanker brands besides Public Mobile (Telus) offer Canada-US plans like Freedom Mobile, as for $34/month you can get 50GB of Canada-US data at 5G speeds.

So all the telcos are going to increase their prices, and then come Black Friday, they will discount them and show us the nice deals we will be getting.
stock keeps going lower Canadian jobs keep getting exported and senior staff pay especially Entwhistle's keep going up and the board does nothing.
what a joke of a company!
It’s such a backfill, tricky business. Except for Freedom, Public mobile is the best value plans right now (albeit missing some crucial features for some people).
Basically Telus are driving price conscious users away from their flagship brand and into their flanker brand… while jacking up the price for oblivious or vulnerable people.
Shameful.
