Bell-owned Virgin Plus in Canada has reportedly offered some lucky customers a pleasant surprise in the form of a free upgrade to 5G service. The news of this unexpected perk spread through posts on RedFlagDeals, with some customers sharing their exciting discovery of a $0/mo ‘5G Access’ add-on appearing in their accounts.
Interestingly, the 5G Access add-on does not automatically activate, requiring customers to manually toggle it on in order to benefit from the high-speed 5G connection. While it remains unclear just how widespread this offer is, Virgin customers are encouraged to log into their accounts online and navigate to the ‘Others’ tab to see if they too have been granted the complimentary add-on.
Furthermore, customers are advised to keep an eye out for any additional exclusive offers that may be available to them, such as the $61/125GB 5G plan that Virgin is reportedly extending to select customers. This move by Virgin to provide free 5G access comes at a time when other telecom providers in Canada are scaling back on 5G offerings. For instance, Koodo recently removed 5G plans from its website, while Rogers confirmed that there are no imminent plans to introduce 5G on its Fido network.
This unexpected gesture from Virgin not only provides customers with a taste of the future with 5G technology but also sets the company apart in a market where such perks are becoming increasingly rare. As technology continues to advance, it is heartening to see companies like Virgin rewarding their customers with exciting upgrades and exclusive offers that enhance their overall experience.
