Telus is bringing its high-speed PureFibre 1.5 Gigabit internet service to British Columbia and Alberta. The plan introduces up to 1,500Mbps download and up to 940Mbps upload speeds. According to the Vancouver-based national carrier, its upload speed is over 37 times faster than the upload speeds of other plans available in Western Canada. And this plan offers unlimited home internet data for $165 a month on a two-year contract.

With many working or studying from home right now because of COVID-19, this type of offering could be seen as an attractive one. The service reaches the speeds it does because of the carrier's PureFibre network, which it says is the largest 100% pure fibre-to-the-premise (FTTP) network in Western Canada. It allows for higher download and upload speeds and improved reliability, promising that you won't be affected by lags during peak hours. You can learn more about the plan in this link. 

Bell offers $75/20GB unlimited data plan for a limited time

Bell seems to be matching Telus' new 20GB promo. The carrier is dropping its 20GB for $95 plan to $75 a month for 24 months. That is before you add on the price of your phone. This particular plan is for "Bring your own device" customers and those who are upgrading or activating a new gadget with Bell's SmartPay device financing plan.  

If you use up your 20GB data allotment, then your unlimited data usage will be throttled down to 3G speeds. The plan doesn't seem to be on Bell's website at the moment, but MobileSyrup contacted the carrier's customer service, and they confirmed that the offer is available. It isn't known how long Bell will be offering this plan.
