You know, this makes more sense now than last week. With basically all of the major players offering $60 10GB, there would be a huge market still left for $40 4GB. And possibly the PM activation website might not get slammed this time because of all the other activity happending elsewhere. 

You don't have to reduce or play around with any of the 3g plans, just this one plan that everyone is familiar with.

@ChopstickHero I second that!

Bring back the $40/mo 4GB, unlimited talk and text promo... ppl will be happy again.

Bingo.

And I have the belief that Rogers started this to start a war with Freedom -- obviously Rogers services are inferior to Bell/Telus ... everyone knows this. Likely Rogers lost some customers over the past few weeks...10GB for $60 for second rate service might enough for some on 1st rates services, like Telus/Bell.

Now pretty much all of the providers are selling that $60 plan.

This entire war started with Fido 

It had nothing to do with Freedom though

[kav2001c]

Considering Fido had the plan first I doubt it

Great deal, but I don't go over my data from the 12gb promo

Wonder if Jermey had anything to do with this promo having moved to Koodo

[MEU_21]

For someone that doesn't need more data, I would only move if I get the equivalent 3-4GB/m with Canada wide calling on an LTE plan - for $30/m, otherwise not worth it for me to switch.

If anything, PM could bring back the 2016 Fall promo and at least make it Canada-wide, but bringing back the fall promo alone, is no longer competitive. I totally understand those that want to switch.

I think Quebec has great offers already.

@bilal684 That's exactly what I'm looking for too. I don't burn through too much data per month. 4gb would be perfect for me. Would love to see PM respond with the 12gb/$38 offer for those not needing so much data.

[lukevader]

I don't know about you but rogers/fido sucks here. Bell was offering a somewhat similar plan but 25 activation fee, shipping 5 for the sim and only national texting

[busybee124]

It's not just Koodo. Rogers & Bell have been offering some better plans as well.

That is true.

[eyoshida]

This plan from Koodo is really attractive, hopefully PM can do something similar

[bilal684]

I hope PM does the 38$ for 12gb deal again... I don't want a bunch of data... I just want 3 to 4gb a month... Please reduce the 12gb plan price 😞

[lukevader]

@kav2001c I appreciate the response, r u (not) talking about the sk15? 

[Wonder_why]

@kav2001c I can confirm it, include Ontario, 10GB Data, Canada Wide calling, International texting, I pick the sim for $15 , time to leave PM until, my I used up all my Adds On, I pay PM 12GB Data for 90 days for $90 with rewards but I need more Data, going to catch Jeremy_M at Koodo 

[kav2001c]

[Michael77]

You could always buy a long distance add-on or use Fongo or Hangouts Dialler.

[lukevader]

@tom3204 or someone who calls out of province a lot. I sure missed that. 

[kav2001c]

@lukevader it is a well known loophole plan 

One of those shh not supposed to discuss

[tom3204]

Captain Obvious here. For a lot (most?) people, the $38 for 4 GB is still a better deal. 10 GB for $60 is only a better deal for people who actually need that extra data.

[lukevader]

@kav2001c what telus plan are you referring to? I online chatted with them today and they said nothing on the table to match this crazy deal. 

[kav2001c]

@lukevader it will never be identical.... both have strengths and weaknesses

(eg Fido offers data bytes + pulse, Koodo does not even have a call centre unless you pay for it. By that logic the Fido plan is obviously superior to the Koodo plan)

Also remember last year when Fido / Virgin / Koodo offered the great 4GB plans? 6 months later the users had price increases!

Public has a far better track record of not screwing their client base

Oh and original point still stands; Telus promo plan kills the Koodo promo plan anyways

We are talking nearly half (about $2.50 per gig vs $6 per gig)

[lukevader]

@kav2001c but u can't do that. Comparing Apple's to Apple's would be the 30 day plan. This 90 day plan is only an advantage to pm. And oh yes another advantage when I went on holidays in Jamaica for 3 weeks in October I couldn't put my pm account on any kind of vacation hold. Nope had to let it run for almost a third of my period when I could have called koodo and got a vacation hold

[kav2001c]

@lukevader noooo

The 90 day version is cheaper than 30 day version

And the 3G plan is even cheaper than the LTE plan
