Bell and Rogers at it again

stonechucker — Wed, 05 Jan 2022 10:03:37 GMT

Just saw some tweets from MobileSyrup. Bell is increasing data overages to 10¢/MB effective immediately for new subsubscribers, and Rogers is ending their free six month free Spotify Premium subscriptions, and the NHL offering.

Bell is making our $30/1 GB of data pretty cheap.

I'm so glad I left Bell but the good news is these announcements makes it so much easier to get referrals

In a oligopoly situation, I fully expect the top tier brands to come forward and price match the increase. I see this increase as more about pushing people to buy into plans which provide greater insurance against having to resort to overage charges. We see a lot of usage anxiety already, it will just get worse. Of course too much of a good thing leads to more stranded usage. It is ironic how a lot of customers exiting from Public Mobile asking if there is any refunds because they are leaving before the end of their paid term. At the same time, a lot of these same people don't see over purchasing what is needed results in the same loss, not just a one time loss but a recurring monthly loss. Long story short, there is nothing new here. More of the same old, same old to cement Canada's place on the leaderboard for expensive cellular service. Customers just need to be ever wiser when shopping for service.

Can't say I am surprised. The fact they won't let you block data after you have gone over your allotted data..

Bell is even worse, I was with Bell and had no data plan, I've accidentially enabled the cellular data in my iphone a couple times, and it would connect right away and generate the data usage as low a few bits, however any data usage less than 50M will be charged at $7.5.

Virgin Mobile has adopted the increase from Bell today.

The 5 1 hour data blocks appear to still available on the Fido Pulse plans.
