The hikes apply only to customers who are not on contract.

Why is the CRTC allowing this racketeering to go on?

I feel so lucky to be with Public Mobile, where I pay < $21 a month for 1GB data, unlimited text and calling, and I've still got 6GB of unused bonus data and over 1500 of bonus international long-distance that doesn't expire.

The push to 5G on contract is why people are paying $100 a month for a cell phone plan. SCAM!

Its all bullshit for maximising ARPU. Public Mobile exists for users that are price conscious but you don't get any international roaming. Koodo is the step up for people that need roaming (if only SMS 2FA wasn't a thing). Then moving up to Telus is for people who don't know any better or don't give a shit about price.
