Rogers and Koodo, the owner of Telus, recently unveiled their new 5G plans, offering more options for customers during the St. Boxing Week promotion. While other providers have yet to match these offers, Freedom Mobile introduced a $50 plan for 100 GB of 5G data earlier this month.
Rogers’ $55 plan for 70 GB allows for connectivity to both 5G and 5G+ networks, with a maximum speed of 250 Mbps. Although data is not shared among family plans, the plan is considered “unlimited” with a limit of 70 GB. After exceeding this limit, Rogers’ speed will be reduced to 512 Kbps. The plan includes unlimited nationwide calling and messaging, and customers can receive a $5 monthly discount by opting for automatic payments.
Koodo’s $55 plan for 70 GB also utilizes 5G technology with the same limited speed as Rogers. However, after exceeding the 70 GB limit, it does not offer unlimited data. Customers will either have to stop using data or pay overage fees. Nevertheless, the Koodo plan also provides one complimentary benefit of the customer’s choice. Options include premium voicemail, unlimited international SMS, data carryover, unlimited nationwide calling, unlimited throttled data, or increased 5G speed.
It is worth noting that both Rogers and Koodo offer additional incentives for customers. Rogers still has its $50 Boxing Week plan for 60 GB of 5G data available, and it remains to be seen whether it will be replaced by the new $55 plan for 70 GB or if both options will be available simultaneously. Meanwhile, Koodo currently offers three months of free Amazon Prime subscription with the new 5G plan, providing added value for customers.
With these new plans, both Rogers and Koodo aim to provide competitive options for customers looking to upgrade to 5G technology. Whether customers prioritize unlimited data or the ability to achieve faster speeds, these plans offer a choice that caters to diverse needs.
