Bell’s Virgin Plus has made a significant decision to backtrack on a recent $5/mo price hike on several of its 4G plans. Last week, Virgin Plus faced backlash after increasing the cost of most of its 4G plans by approximately $5 per month. However, in a surprising turn of events, the provider has now reversed these price increases and even lowered some plan costs slightly.
The updated prices for Virgin's 4G plans are as follows:
– $49 for 60GB (previously $54)
– $44 for 50GB (previously $49)
– $39 for 40GB (previously $44)
– $34 for 20GB (previously $39)
It's important to note that the $49/60GB plan previously cost $50, and the $34/20GB plan required a $5/mo credit to achieve the $34 price – a requirement that has now been eliminated. Notably, Virgin's $65/75GB 5G plan has remained unchanged throughout this price adjustment.
All of Virgin's 4G plans come with a data speed cap of 150Mbps, a limit on streaming video quality at 480p, and benefits such as unlimited Canada-wide calling and unlimited international texting from Canada.
Despite this step towards more affordable pricing, it is worth mentioning that Virgin's plans still tend to be pricier compared to other options in the market. For instance, Freedom and Public continue to offer $34/50GB plans with 5G data and coverage in both Canada and the U.S., making them more budget-friendly choices than Virgin's 4G plans.
