Now, we’ve learned this promo plan is even better in Quebec, as it matches the Freedom Mobile $50/40GB plan with Canada/US roaming. Why just Quebec? Well, Quebec has a fourth regional wireless competitor in the form of Videotron (the owner...

Rogers-owned Fido has launched a new promo plan with 40GB of data. The company’s website was updated today to discount the $60/40GB plan after Auto-Pay with a $10 monthly credit, taking it down to $50/40GB per month.

Well, I guess this is Videotron’s 'FAFO' message to Canada’s ‘Big 3’ wireless carriers.

We’re continuing to see Canada’s ‘Big 3’ wireless carriers shake up their pricing plans for unlimited data. After Rogers revamped its 5G plan offerings, Bell quickly followed suit and so did Telus. But now we’re seeing Telus up the ante against its rivals for its most expensive unlimited plan. The Canada/US unlimited data plan which...
