Fido, Koodo and Virgin Launch Simultaneous Double Data Promos

The flanker brands of Canada’s Big 3 wireless carriers, Fido, Koodo and Virgin, have launched simultaneous double data promos, seemingly timed for back to school.

Fido is offering the following (bonus data included below):

• $40 for 1GB (after $5/month off ‘promo’)
• $55 for 2GB
• $65 for 3GB (debuted earlier this month)
• $85 for 6GB (debuted earlier this month)
• Data overage rates: $7/100MB or $70/1GB

Koodo is offering the following double data promo:

• $40 for 1GB
• $55 for 2GB
• $65 for 3GB
• $85 for 6GB
• Data overages: $5/100MB or $50/1GB

And here are the exact same offerings from Virgin Mobile:

• $40 for 1GB
• $55 for 2GB
• $65 for 3GB
• $85 for 6GB
• Data overages: $7/100MB or $70/1GB

All these plans include either 500 or unlimited Canada-wide minutes, plus unlimited global SMS/MMS and other extras. There’s no explanation on how all three of these carriers have launched similar data promos–at the exact same time. Maybe it is related to the recent solar eclipse?

If your existing plan is worse than the above listed, call in and make the switch.
