Bye-bye bonus data: Canadian data promos begin to wind down

Looks like the spring bonus data bonanza is drawing to a close

After several months of most Canadian carriers offering bonus data allotments on plans, the promotion seems to have now run its course for the most part.

For the majority of their wireless markets, Rogers and Telus will end respective 2GB offers on July 9th, while Freedom is ending its 3GB bonus data offer on July 10th. Meanwhile, Virgin Mobile and Fido are replacing 3GB offers with a 1GB or 2GB deal.

Below, a quick run-down of the state of bonus data at most Canadian carriers.
