Customers with Bell home internet services can get additional savings by bundling with wireless. Still, even with the autopay discount, Bell's plans are $15 to $20 more per month than before. Granted, the $95 plan does also include more data, but hardly enough to justify the increased cost.</p><p><img alt="bell price hike" id="content-image-116457" src="https://display.blogto.com/uploads/2025/04/22/1745349054-20250422-bell-price-hike-1.jpg?w=1400&amp;cmd=resize&amp;quality=70&amp;format=jpeg" /></p><p>The plans also come with free Crave Basic, which is a nice bonus, though customers on $65 plan won't get the full benefit. Bell caps video streaming quality on its $65 plan to 480p, while Crave Basic's max streaming quality is 720p. Customers can pay $5/mo to increase their streaming quality to 1080p, though this is included for free in the 250GB plan.</p><p>Bell also removed its $60/150GB Canada/U.S. plan, giving customers one less option when picking plans.</p><p>Bell's latest plans fall in line with Rogers' newly refreshed plan prices. Rogers<a href="https://www.blogto.com/tech/2025/03/rogers-fido-price-increase/"> rolled out new plans on April 15</a>, including $65/100GB and $95/250GB options. Bell now matches those plans.</p><p>Of course, it's also worth pointing out that Bell's plans aren't exactly great value. For comparison, Freedom Mobile is currently offering a $55/100GB 5G+ <a href="https://mobilesyrup.com/2025/01/28/freedom-mobile-launches-new-pricier-plans-with-5g-and-more-data/">plan</a> with Canada/U.S./Mexico roaming. As always, it's worth shopping around to see if you can get a better deal elsewhere when it comes to wireless service</p><p>Telus, on the other hand, is offering slightly <a href="https://mobilesyrup.com/2025/04/22/telus-overhauls-plans-more-expensive-60-100gb/">cheaper plans</a>, such as a $60/100GB option.</p>
