Earlier this year, it was reported that Bell would increase the cost of Fibe internet for some customers starting on July 1st. Bell placed a notice about the incoming price hike in customers’ bills as far back as April. If you haven’t scrutinized your Bell bill recently, now would be a great time to read through it and see if you’re one of the impacted customers.
If you are one of the customers affected by the price increase, now would also be a great time to call Bell or explore other internet service providers to find a better offer and potentially switch providers. This isn’t the first price hike from Bell this year, as back in February, Bell and Virgin mobile customers were hit with a $4-$6/mo price increase. Meanwhile, Bell CEO Mirko Bibic claims that Bell prices are “declining significantly.”
It seems like Canadian customers will have to budget for higher internet bills come July 1st. With the ongoing increases in service prices, it’s no surprise that customers may be looking for more affordable options in the market.
