Key takeaways
- Bundle discounts are real: Rogers 5G+ Lite was $50 with internet or TV vs $65 alone (October 2026)
- A bundle only saves money if the total beats a cheap mobile plan plus separate internet
- Watch for promotional prices that end after 12 or 24 months
- Include setup or installation fees on both sides
- More lines usually make bundles look better
What a bundle discount is
A bundle means buying mobile and home internet (and sometimes TV) from the same company. In return, the company lowers the price of one or both. On October 5, 2026:
- Rogers listed 5G+ Lite (60 GB) at $50 a month with internet or TV, after Auto-Pay. Without a bundle, the same plan was reported at $65.
- Bell listed its Select 60 GB plan at $75 a month, or $50 with a home internet bundle, Autopay and promotional credits.
- Freedom Mobile offered Home Internet for $39 a month for 12 months to its mobile customers.
These savings can be large, but big-carrier internet often costs more than independent providers. The only fair test is the total for everything you need.
How the calculator counts
- Bundle total = (mobile price × lines + internet price) × promo months + (mobile price after × lines + internet price after) × remaining months + one-time fees.
- Separate total = (mobile price × lines + internet price) × months + one-time fees.
All prices are before tax. Tax applies to both options the same way in most provinces, so it does not change which is cheaper.
Worked example
One person compares 24 months:
- Bundle: $50 mobile + $85 internet = $135 a month. Total $3,240.
- Separate: $35 prepaid mobile + $53 internet = $88 a month. Total $2,112.
Separate is $1,128 cheaper in this example. With three or four lines, the bundle side can win, because the discount applies to every line. Enter your own quotes: internet prices depend on your address.
When a bundle is worth it
A bundle tends to win when:
- You have several mobile lines. The discount applies to each line, so a family of three or four saves much more than one person.
- You want fast internet anyway. If you would choose a 1 Gbps plan from a big provider in any case, the mobile discount is a real saving.
- Only one big provider serves your building. If independent providers cannot reach your unit, compare offers between the big carriers instead.
Separate providers tend to win when you live alone or as a couple, use a prepaid mobile plan, and only need a basic internet speed. They also keep you free to change one service without losing a discount on the other.
Before you sign a bundle
- Ask what each price becomes after the promotion ends, and enter it above.
- Ask if the internet needs a 2-year term, and what you pay to cancel early. Telus, for example, listed a cancellation fee of $480 on a 2-year PureFibre term, declining by $20 a month.
- Check that the discount stays if you cancel one service.
- Get quotes from independent internet providers too. See cheapest home internet and the home internet guide.
Then see your mobile bill with tax in the mobile plan cost calculator and add both to your budget.
