Telus-owned Koodo has introduced a new $54/60GB 4G plan to compete with offerings from Fido and Virgin, although it falls short by approximately $5 per month. Previously, Koodo did not offer a 60GB 4G plan, with the highest data option being a $44/50GB plan. However, as of June 17th, Koodo now has a $54/60GB plan available on their website, which includes unlimited Canada-wide calling, texting, and one free perk.

Interestingly, there appears to be a glitch on Koodo's website as there is no 60GB plan available for customers looking to purchase a phone. The only listed option for phone buyers is Koodo's $30 per month talk and text plan. It is unclear why this discrepancy exists, especially since Koodo recently stopped offering 5G plans.

The new $54/60GB plan from Koodo seems to be an attempt to match the 60GB 4G plans offered by Fido and Virgin. However, both Fido and Virgin offer their 60GB plans for just $49 per month. Fido's plan, which typically costs $59 per month, can be discounted to $49 through autopay and credit promotions. Virgin's plan, on the other hand, is consistently priced at $49 per month, although there have been fluctuations in recent weeks.

Despite Koodo's efforts to align with the competition, their 60GB plan is not the most cost-effective option available. Even Fido and Virgin's lower-priced plans may not be the best value when considering alternatives like Freedom and Public, which offer $40 per month for a 75GB 5G plan with additional features.

For customers seeking a new mobile plan in Canada, it is essential to compare the offerings from different providers to find the best fit for their needs.
