Boxing Week deals have ended at major Canadian carriers, which means mobile prices just went up.
Below, we’ll review several major providers and their flanker brands to highlight the new pricing as of January 7th, 2025, and compare it to Boxing Week deals and last year’s pre-sale prices.
But before we dig in, I want to start by highlighting Freedom Mobile, which ended its Boxing Week deals but still has $35/50GB, $45/75GB and $55/100GB 5G plans with Canada/U.S./Mexico usage. (Those prices include a $5/mo autopay discount and a $5/mo credit for 18 months). Those prices put Freedom well ahead of other providers during Boxing Week, and with almost every major Canadian provider now raising prices and offering worse plans, Freedom’s options look even better.

Rogers
Rogers plans all offer 5G speeds up to 1Gbps, unlimited Canada-wide talk and text, and unlimited international text sent from Canada. Additionally, all of the below prices include an automatic payments discount. We’ll highlight any plans that break from the above.
- $65/100GB 5G BYOP (previously $55/200GB).
- $75/175GB 5G BYOP with 1,000 international long-distance minutes (previously $60/200GB).
- $95/200GB 5G BYOP Canada/U.S./Mexico with 1,000 international long-distance minutes (previously $70/200GB).
- $75/125GB 5G (previously $60/200GB).
- $85/200GB 5G with 1,000 international long-distance minutes (previously $65/200GB).
- $95/200GB 5G Canada/U.S./Mexico with 1,000 international long-distance minutes (previously $70/200GB).
- $39/100GB 5G BYOP (speeds capped at up to 250Mbps) add-a-line plan (ends Jan. 13).
- $44/100GB 5G (speeds capped at up to 250Mbps) add-a-line plan (ends Jan. 13).
Compared to the Boxing Week deals, we’re seeing prices up roughly $10 to $25 per month. This isn’t a huge surprise and falls roughly in line with the discounts Rogers applied to plans heading into Boxing Week.
You can find Rogers’ plans here.
Bell
Bell currently offers just two plans, both of which include a $10/mo autopay discount. Bell lists the maximum speeds on these plans as its “fastest available 5G+ speeds.” However, the company does cap video streaming quality on its network — customers can pay $5/mo more to upgrade their video streaming quality.
- $65/100GB with “SD” video streaming, a cap of up to 480p quality.
- $95/200GB Canada/U.S./Mexico with “HD” video streaming, a cap of up to 1080p quality and 1,000 international long-distance minutes.
During Boxing Week, Bell offered nearly the exact same plans but at lower prices. The 100GB plan had double the data but cost $55/mo, while the 200GB plan was the same but cost $70/mo. The new prices are in line with what Bell offered during its early Boxing Week deals.

Telus
Telus trimmed down the number of plans it offers, eliminating three lower-cost options. Additionally, all Telus plans currently include a $5/mo autopay discount. Also of note, during Boxing Week, Telus bumped all of its plans up to the 2Gbps speed cap, but now only the company’s top-line Canada/U.S./Mexico plan gets that speed cap.
- $100/200GB 5G with 2Gbps speed cap, Canada/U.S./Mexico (previously $80/200GB).
- $85/150GB 5G with 1Gbps speed cap, Canada/U.S. (previously $70/200GB).
- $70/mo 75GB 5G with 1Gbps speed cap (previously $65/200GB).
These plans are actually the same as or slightly cheaper than what Telus had prior to Boxing Week, though some options also have significantly less data. For example, before Boxing Week, Telus had an $85/175GB (2Gbps) plan and a $75/175GB (2Gbps) plan.

Fido
Fido now offers two plans outside of its talk-and-text and basic plan options. These prices include a $10/mo autopay discount and are capped at 4G speed (150Mbps).
- $45/50GB BYOP (previously $34/60GB).
- $55/75GB BYOP (previously $39/100GB).
Not only are Fido’s new plans more expensive than the Boxing Day deals and with less data, but they’re worse than the pre-Boxing Week deals, too. Before the sale, Fido had $44/60GB and $49/80GB plans.

Virgin Plus
Bell-owned Virgin Plus remains one of the few wireless providers in Canada not doing autopay “discounts.” However, it does limit plans to 4G with speeds capped at up to 150Mbps, despite previously offering some 5G options. Notably, Virgin currently offers Canada/U.S. calling bundled into its plans, which is a nice bonus for anyone who regularly calls people in the States. It also includes unlimited international texting in its plans.
- $44/20GB.
- $49/40GB.
- $54/60GB with unlimited calling to U.S., Bangladesh, China, Hong Kong, India, Mexico and United Kingdom.
During Boxing Week, Virgin offered $34/60GB and $39/100GB plans, so across the board Virgin has raised prices and reduced data buckets. The most direct comparison here is the 60GB plan, which now costs $20/mo more than before. Before the sale, Virgin had $39/60GB and $44/100GB plans, both with Canada/U.S. calling.

Koodo
Last but not least, we have Telus-owned Koodo with its plans limited to 4G with speeds capped at 100Mbps. Like Virgin, Koodo still isn’t offering 5G plans despite previously making them available. Koodo also includes a $5/mo autopay discount in the prices for its plans.
- $39/20GB.
- $44/40GB.
- $49/60GB (marked as a promotion).
Koodo’s plans notably don’t include some staple benefits offered by other providers, like international texting or U.S. calling. Instead, Koodo lets customers pick a free perk with their plan, though options differ from plan to plan. Some perks include premium voicemail, international texting, and rollover data.
Overall, Koodo’s plans are pricier than they were during Boxing Day, when it offered $34/60GB and $39/100GB options. The plans actually match Koodo’s pre-sale plans exactly.
