Current telecom rules allow providers to raise their price whenever they want - unless you’re on a contract.
Had the $60 10GB plan then they increased it to $65. Apparently, lots of people raised a stink about it and they ended up discounting $60 and increased data to 15GB. But this took a bit of planning (on what to say), a few calls and a few escalations with me standing firm and reminding them I've been a loyal BYOP customer for a long time.
My plan comes from my old Employer, probably using it since 2013/2014 for the same cost. No contract, even there was one. It must be over for few years.vancityguy0 wrote: ↑ Current telecom rules allow providers to raise their price whenever they want - unless you’re on a contract.

If you $50/5GB plan is not on a contract then they can change your rates whenever they feel like it, although I doubt that they will since you’re on a low data price plan anyway (you are currently overpaying for 5GB of data). Still there are no guarantees, ever.
They reversed the province wide calling thing because I guess they got enough backlash...100 wrote: ↑ I just had a hilarious saga involving this plan, coming in from a 15$ public mobile plan to the 10 GB/$50 plan and then seeing same day the 12 gb version was being offered. Long story short they set me up as a new customer even though they had just ported my number in on the 10 GB plan, but it took a loooot of time and chat sessions to make it happen. Still waiting for them to drop the activation fee.
Fast forward 2 weeks and Koodo/Telus is calling the number 3 times a day to offer me a winback, so I tell them I have 16 GB for 50$ (I'm including my 4 GB tablet plan here but they don't need to know that). They (Koodo) counter with 18 GB for $50. I turned it down because of their province wide instead of Canada wide calling...
I am currently on 6Gb for $45, thinking of switching to this offer, and I think the better option would be to port out number and resign this plan as a new customer to avoid all the hassle.100 wrote: ↑ I just had a hilarious saga involving this plan, coming in from a 15$ public mobile plan to the 10 GB/$50 plan and then seeing same day the 12 gb version was being offered.

I doubt they will increase it.
If I drop this, I may never ever able to get a plan back for $50 for this same GB. You can say I'm over paying right now because I can get 12G instead of 5, but I 'm always under 5Gb anyway.
I was looking at that but the $45 activation fee is almost impossible to waivereachedlegendary1 wrote: ↑ TELUS EPP currently has $56/15GB
Why don't you just switch to zoomer? Same network as FIDO, but only 40.5/m for 6g, and you get $200 bill credit and a free phone. And that price is guaranteed until you want to make a change.MP3_SKY wrote: ↑ My plan comes from my old Employer, probably using it since 2013/2014 for the same cost. No contract, even there was one.
