Update 2022/12/15: Fido and Virgin Plus have matched the $50/40GB plan.
Boxing Day deals are starting to emerge at some Canadian wireless providers. Telus flanker brand Koodo is kicking things off with a strong start: get 40GB of data for $50/mo.
According to Koodo’s website, customers can get the $50/40GB plan by signing up for the provider’s new $65/mo 40GB plan and taking advantage of a $15 bill credit. Unfortunately, the bill credit only lasts 15 months. Update 2022/12/13 at 2:37pm ET: A Koodo spokesperson told MobileSyrup that Koodo’s website lists slightly different values for the bill credit in each province because it includes tax. For example, in Ontario, the bill credit is $16/mo.
Along with the $50/40GB plan, Koodo has bumped its $60/10GB plan up to 20GB of data. It’s also eligible the bill credit, bringing it down to $45/mo.
Either way, $50/mo for 40GB of data isn’t a bad deal, although it certainly pales in comparison to the Black Friday $45/50GB plan, which will last 24 months. If you missed out on the $45/50GB, then this $50/40GB plan might be your next best option. At the same time, it might be worth waiting to see if anything better comes along — some of the better Black Friday options were only available in-store or launched on Black Friday itself. We might see a repeat of that with Boxing Day offers.
Naturally, the Boxing Day deals started rolling out the day after I wrote a comparison of carrier plans at the end of 2022 to the beginning of the year. You can check that out here.
