Telus Adjusts Wireless Plans: Price Increases and Data Changes
Telus has recently updated its wireless plans, raising prices by $5 too $10 while reducing data allowances. This change follows the end of some limited-time offers earlier this week.
New Pricing Structure
The latest offerings from Telus align closely with those of competitors Rogers and Bell, though there are minor differences in perks. Here’s a summary of the new plans:
- $55 for 100GB at 5G speeds (1Gbps) across Canada (Bring Your Own Phone) – previously $60 for 100GB.
- $65 for 100GB at 5G speeds (1Gbps) nationwide – unchanged from the previous price but reduced from 125GB.
- $75 for 150GB at 5G speeds (1Gbps) in Canada and the U.S. – increased from $70 for the same data amount.
- $90 for 250GB at higher speeds (2Gbps) covering Canada, the U.S., and mexico – up from $80 for only 200GB.
Discounts and Bundles
All listed prices include a monthly discount of $10 when customers use pre-authorized bank payments. additionally, new subscribers can enjoy a temporary discount on Telus’ Stream+ bundle when thay sign up. There are also options to save more by bundling wireless services with home internet or multiple lines.
Customer Concerns Over Price Hikes
Despite these savings opportunities, many customers may feel disappointed as prices have risen again. The cost of both the 100GB and 150GB plans has increased by $5 per month, while one plan lost meaningful data—25GB was cut from what was previously offered at $65 per month.
The plan that covers Canada, the U.S., and Mexico saw a price increase of $10 per month; however, it now includes an additional bonus of 50GB in data. While this might seem beneficial on paper,existing users who already have ample data may not find this extra allowance necessary.
Looking Beyond Telus
These adjustments could lead many to seek better deals elsewhere after briefly enjoying lower rates compared to Bell or Rogers. Alternatives like Freedom Mobile and Public Mobile continue to provide competitive pricing with their own attractive offers—such as Freedom's plan featuring unlimited talk/text plus roaming options starting at just $35 for a generous amount of data.
while Telus provides various ways to save through discounts and bundles, recent changes may leave consumers feeling frustrated due to rising costs coupled with reduced data limits on certain plans. As competition remains fierce among providers in this market segment, customers will likely explore other options that offer better value without compromising service quality or coverage areas.
