Telecom quarterly report: Price collection data
Lowest 2 GB data plan pricing: QC
Lowest 4 GB data plan pricing: QC
To help Canadians get more affordable telecommunications services, Bell, TELUS and Rogers (across their brands) will be expected to lower their prices. For cellphone plans that offer 2 to 6 GB of data, the three national carriers are expected to lower their prices by 25 percent in the next two years.
The benchmark price, or the price to which the 25 percent reduction will apply, is based on prices advertised on company websites in early 2020 for post-paid, bring your own device (BYOD), unlimited talk and text 4G/LTE plans in the 2 to 6 GB range. Pricing for 3 GB and 5 GB plans is included when available for transparency and completeness but is not being evaluated against a January benchmark.
Prices listed in the tables below do not include taxes and do not include all plans available at the time.
