That does not mean every subscriber’s bill changed during June 7–July 13: Rogers separately announced a $5-plus-tax adjustment for affected customers beginning on or after July 15, outside this date window. The available comparison is a snapshot, not a day-by-day record, and some offers ended July 7.

Rogers’ announced bill adjustment starts after the date window
A June 22 MobileSyrup report reproduced a Rogers bill notice stating that affected plan fees would increase by $5 plus tax on or after July 15, 2026. The notice said other wireless services would remain unchanged. Because the effective date is after July 13, this was an announced future adjustment during the period—not a change already in effect within it. The report also cited a CRTC staff letter; it does not establish that the adjustment applies to every Rogers or Fido subscriber. See the MobileSyrup report and CRTC staff letter.

How to compare a plan or respond to a bill increase
Headline price alone is not enough to tell whether a plan is a better fit. Compare the full terms that affect what you pay and how you use the service:
- Total monthly cost: Confirm whether taxes are extra and whether the listed price depends on BYOD, autopay, or another eligibility condition.
- Data and speed: Compare the data allowance and any stated speed limit, such as TELUS’s 250 Mbps cap on the listed 60 GB plan.
- Roaming: Check the included countries or regions and the daily roaming allowance. Canada–US, Canada–US–Mexico, and global coverage are not interchangeable.
- Streaming and inclusions: Bell’s compared offers distinguish standard-definition from HD streaming; account for that difference if it matters to you.
- Offer end date: An offer listed on July 7 may not have remained available through July 13. Confirm current terms with the carrier.
For an existing Rogers account, distinguish a public offer from an account-specific notice: the reported notice applies to affected plan fees and gives an effective date on or after July 15. Review your bill or carrier communication to determine whether your account is affected.

What the CRTC changed for customers
The CRTC said customers can change or cancel cellphone plans through an app, online, or by email. It also described recent measures to eliminate extra fees and improve notices about expiring contracts and discounts. The fee protections in Policy 2026-43 took effect June 12, 2026. The CRTC’s announcement summarizes the measures and their purpose: “Our recent decisions make it easier to manage services, shop around, and switch plans.” — Vicky Eatrides, Chairperson and Chief Executive Officer of the CRTC, April 24, 2026. See the CRTC announcement and its fee-protection material.
These protections do not mean every kind of charge is prohibited; do not assume they cover device costs or professional-service charges. Check the specific restriction and your agreement when reviewing a fee.
