With package prices having dropped significantly in recent months, the beginning of July would be a great time to look to save money on your internet package.
At least that’s the opinion of PlanHub CEO Nadir Marcos, who argues that moving season is the perfect time to save money, as suppliers often offer attractive deals for the occasion.
“If you haven’t done the exercise for a while, you’re leaving money on the table,” he explained in an interview with TVA Nouvelles. “Prices have dropped a lot in recent months and the size of packages has also increased a lot in terms of the amount of data. Often, there are great savings to be made with relatively little effort.”
“For the internet, it’s really the moment and the offers will still be there for a week or two and they are not reserved for people who are moving,” he adds.
The expert noted a decrease in prices of around 33% per megabit per second
For mobile plans, Marcos says back-to-school, Black Friday, Boxing Day and spring break are ideal times to shop for a new plan.
Recently, Quebecers have been getting more for their money for mobile services, but the bill has not gone down as much as for internet packages.
“The price of a megabit has dropped a lot, but the packages have gone up,” explains the CEO of PlanHub. “The bill is not going down that much, but there are a lot more megabits. If we want to lower it, there are still opportunities.”
According to Mr. Marcos, competition has been fiercer these days, which is causing suppliers to be more aggressive in their pricing.
“We have never seen so many Canadians change operators and it has never been easier to do so, which means that we are slowly seeing operators play the competition game much more aggressively,” he says.
