Carriers

Telus customers will be charged an extra 1.5% on top of their bills when paying via credit card, to help "cover the processing costs" of these payments.

The freshly released Google Pixel 6a is already available for a huge discount with select Koodo Tab plans, along with Fido and Virgin Plus.

Telus exec Jim Senko believes Freedom is unlikely to be able to compete with larger carriers after being separated from Shaw. 

Telus prepaid brand Public Mobile is again offering up another 2GB data bonus.

OneSoccer filed a complaint with the CRTC accusing Rogers of anti-competitive behaviour and warning that things will get worse if the company acquires Shaw.

Freedom has 1.75 million subscribers in Alberta, B.C., and Ontario, and acquiring the company will help jumpstart Quebecor’s plans to expand nationally.

According to RFD, a new Rogers student plan for 2022 is at $55 for 20GB of data.

Telus posted consolidated operating revenues of $4.4 billion, up 7.1% year-over-year from Q2 2021, with 93,000 net new mobile subscribers.

In its filing, Rogers said Competition Commissioner Matthew Boswell has a "statutory obligation" to expedite the merger proceedings.

Rogers says it will be expanding fibre internet in parts of rural Ontario with a new contract from the province.

The CRTC said today it will invest nearly $21 million to expand LTE wireless along highways and roads in three provinces.

Bell and the province of Ontario will expand fibre internet to over 117,000 homes and businesses.
