The 2026 Mobile Market: More Data for Less
Choosing a mobile plan in Quebec has never been more competitive. With the surge in high-data plans, prices have dropped significantly. Here is how to navigate these offers to keep more money in your pocket.
Analyze your actual usage
Most people overestimate their needs. If you mostly use Wi-Fi at home and work, a 70 GB plan is more than enough. There is no point in paying for 200 GB if you only use 30 GB per month.
Comparing the best current offers
Here is a look at the best no-contract options currently available:
- For heavy users (200 GB): Vidéotron offers a plan at $45.00/month (Canada-US-Mex), while Fizz offers a 5G option for $50.00/month.
- The sweet spot (100 GB): Vidéotron offers $35.00/month (Canada-US), which is highly competitive. Fizz also offers 100 GB on 5G for $35.00/month.
- For travelers (70 GB): Public Mobile offers a Canada-US-Mex option for $40.00/month.
Pitfalls to avoid
1. 24-month contracts: Unless you absolutely need a subsidized high-end phone, stick to no-contract plans. This allows you to switch providers as soon as a better deal appears.
2. Hidden fees: Always check for activation fees, which can range from $30 to $50.
3. Network coverage: If you travel to remote areas, check the coverage map. A cheaper plan is useless if you don't have a signal where you live.
When to switch plans?
- During Black Friday or Boxing Day: These are the best times to get data bonuses or monthly discounts.
- When your bill increases: If your current plan no longer offers the best GB/price ratio, don't hesitate to shop around. Loyalty rarely pays off in the telecom sector.
