Just a few days after Telus-owned Koodo added a $5.65/mo discount to some plans, it removed the discount. However, Koodo also reduced its plans by $5/mo. Rogers-owned Fido and Bell-owned Virgin Plus similarly dropped their plans by $5/mo.
Koodo launched its discount on January 15th, which added a $135.60 bill credit to the provider’s $45/50GB and $55/75GB 4G plans. The credit applies over 24 months, working out to roughly $5.65 off per month. However, Koodo has removed the bill credit from its website as of January 17th. Instead, Koodo now offers $40/50GB and $50/75GB plans, after a $5/mo autopay discount. Notably, Koodo marked these plans as promotions, suggesting they’re limited-time offers, but didn’t list an end date.
Koodo’s plans are available here.
Virgin doesn’t offer autopay discounts, so it’s plans are just $40/50GB and $50/75GB now. However, unlike Koodo, Virgin lists the plans as ending on January 20th.
Virgin’s plans are available here.
Fido also lists a January 20th end date for its $40/50GB and $50/75GB 4G plans. Notably, however, Fido’s pricing includes a $5/mo discount on top of a $10/mo autopay discount, dropping the plan prices from $55/mo and $65/mo, respectively.

While discounts are always welcome, as I said on the 15th when I wrote about Koodo’s initial discount, these plans and prices still aren’t great value. Other providers, like Freedom Mobile and Public Mobile, are winning the value game by continuing to offer $35/50GB 5G Canada/U.S./Mexico plans. With offers like that available, there aren’t many reasons to pay more for a 4G plan with no included roaming.
