Koodo's $25 80GB Deal Is the Best Flanker Offer Before March 31 — Here's Why

Three flanker brands, three promotions, one deadline: March 31. Koodo, Fido, and Virgin Plus have all cut their 80GB plans with North American roaming heading into Q1 close — and the pricing is the most competitive this tier has seen all year. If you've been meaning to switch plans, you have three days.

Already a Fido Customer? You May Be Overpaying Right Now

Before the comparison — this is worth flagging directly. Cellulo users who were existing Fido customers on older month-to-month plans have switched to the current $27 80GB plan online without leaving Fido, without calling in, and without any switching fees. One customer went from paying $54/mo to $27/mo overnight. That's $324 saved in a year just by logging into their Fido account and changing their plan.

If you're an existing Fido customer, check what you're paying before reading any further. There's a real chance you qualify for a cheaper plan right now and don't know it.

The 80GB Tier: Three Promotions, One Clear Price Leader

All three carriers are now offering 80GB 5G with Canada-U.S.-Mexico roaming. Here's where they land:

*All prices shown require autopay enrollment. $0 Hotspot Promo availability for existing Fido customers switching plans has not been confirmed — verify directly with Fido.

Koodo is the cheapest at $25 — $2 less than both Fido and Virgin Plus. Over a year that's $24. Hotspot is included outright, and the free perk is purely additive: choose from Rollover Data, Unlimited Long Distance to 27 countries, a 5G Speed Boost up to 500Mbps, or 3-Day Easy Roam in the US or select international destinations. That last option is particularly useful if you cross the border occasionally but not enough to justify a full roaming plan.

Fido at $27 has the deepest discount in absolute terms — 50% off its original $54 price. The plan includes international calling to 27 countries and unlimited international texts built in. Fido also lists a $0 Hotspot Promo on this plan, which would make it fully comparable to Virgin Plus — but it's currently unclear whether that promo applies to existing Fido customers switching plans rather than new activations. If you're switching from an older Fido plan, verify with Fido directly before assuming hotspot is included.

Virgin Plus at $27 includes hotspot unconditionally — no promo asterisk, no fine print. Along with international calling to 27 countries and unlimited international texting, it's the most complete bundle at this price point for anyone coming in fresh.

The honest summary: Koodo at $25 wins on price with hotspot included and a flexible free perk on top. Virgin Plus at $27 wins if you want everything locked in with no ambiguity. Fido at $27 is the right move if you're already a Fido customer and can save hundreds just by changing your plan online.

At 100GB, a Three-Way Tie

All three carriers price their 100GB 5G plan at $55/mo — Fido from $80, Virgin Plus from $65, Koodo from $65. End price is identical across the board. At this tier your choice comes down to perks and network preference, not price.

The Entry-Level Picture

For light users, Koodo wins outright. Its 250MB plan at $15/mo undercuts both Fido ($19) and Virgin Plus ($19) by $4 — that's $48 saved per year without sacrificing much.

Who Should Pick What

Pick Koodo if you want the lowest price with the most flexibility. At $25 with hotspot included and a free perk to choose from — Rollover Data, Unlimited Long Distance, a 5G Speed Boost, or 3-Day Easy Roam — it's the strongest overall package at this tier.

Pick Virgin Plus if you want everything locked in at $27 with no ambiguity — hotspot, international calling, and roaming all included, no perk decision required.

Pick Fido if you're already a Fido customer — switching to the $27 plan online may save you hundreds without changing carriers. Confirm hotspot eligibility with Fido if tethering matters to you.

All three offers expire March 31. Compare current Fido, Virgin Plus, and Koodo plans on Cellulo to see what's available in your province before the window closes.
