What the current offer includes

Current limited-time Canada-wide 5G offer.

The current advertised speed tier is 5G. The benchmark does not rely on an Auto-Pay condition. The provider currently presents this as a promotional/current offer, so availability can change.

Annual cost matters

A monthly price can feel small in isolation. Multiplying by 12 makes the recurring commitment visible: $35/month equals $420 per year before tax. If another plan costs $5 less per month, that difference is $60 per year; a $10 monthly difference is $120 per year.

How much of the data will you actually use?

The plan includes 50 GB each month. If your real usage is far below that, the simple $0.70/GB headline can overstate the value you receive. Check the last few months of cellular usage on your phone and compare that with the included allowance. Heavy hotspot or video users may value the larger bucket much more than a mostly-Wi-Fi user.

Cost per GB is not the whole decision

At 50 GB for $35, the simple price-per-included-gigabyte is about $0.70/GB. That is useful for heavy-data comparisons but ignores coverage, eSIM, activation fees, roaming, rollover, support and whether you actually use the full allowance.

What could make another plan better?

A competing plan can be a better choice even at a slightly higher monthly price if it has stronger coverage at home or work, better roaming for your travel pattern, useful data rollover, easier support, or no Auto-Pay requirement. Newcomers should also consider whether activation requires a Canadian credit history, whether an eSIM can be installed immediately, and whether the carrier lets you test service before porting your main number.
