I’ve personally never had a problem with price hikes? If anything my bill has gone down randomly over the years.
I was with Rogers and then they said hey, switch to fido and get the same stuff for $10 less so I did. Was fine for a few years. Then Rogers had a deal and I switched back, got more data for $10 less.
Started at $80/month and now at $60/month with way more data than I’ll ever need.
$60 for phone service is highway robbery. Unless you have specific needs that the big 3’s main brands plans give you, you should be on a discount carrier. For years now you have been able to regularly get a plan in the $28-32 range for 20GB data from Virgin/Fido/Koodo. The only downside has been they were LTE only for a long time, but 5G isn’t really a noticeable upgrade, and it looks like they have all upgraded to 5G for their plans since I last looked.
I’m currently on a plan from Koodo that is only $24/mo for 10GB data which is plenty.
These are the plans that seem to creep up in price over time until you switch providers when another good deal comes up.
Ya I’m sure I could find cheaper, but I currently get 150gb data. I’m on the road a lot for work and also have a cabin with no internet access other than through data so I can go through a fair bit.
My main point is that my plans were typically never being increased, only ever offered a decrease.

That’s still a crazy high bill. I’m at like $26 after tax with fizz, effectively unlimited data
