The Toronto Star published an interview with Videotron's Pierre Peladeau in yesterday's paper as the boss was in Toronto for meetings:

[QUOTE]Péladeau signed an undertaking agreeing that Freedom Mobile would charge prices at least 20 per cent lower than what Rogers, Bell and Telus offered in Ontario, B.C. and Alberta as of Feb. 10 this year.
(The so-called “benchmark plans” are roughly as follows: $85 per month for 25 gigabytes of data; $95 per month for 40 to 50 GB; $105 per month for 60 GB; and $125 per month for 100 GB. Freedom’s plans need to be no more than 80 per cent of those prices.)[/QUOTE]

Freedom Mobile will offer a $50 monthly plan that includes unlimited calls and texts as well as 40 gigabytes of data usable throughout Canada and the U.S. following its acquisition by Quebecor Inc.'s Videotron.

Fizz Mobile is operated by Freedom Mobile. The former is expanding into Ontario. It's a very DIY kind of entity so be aware of that when you consider switching cellular providers. It will be hard to get someone to talk to in case of tech issues.

I will say that Fizz is genius at offering deductions if customers don't want texting or other features on their monthly plan.
