Rogers vs Videotron Mobile Plans in Canada (2026)

Rogers is one of Canada's Big Three national carriers, operating its own coast-to-coast 4G LTE and 5G network with the widest 5G population coverage in the country. Videotron is Quebecor's mobile carrier, with no-contract postpaid plans available in Ontario and Quebec and a network concentrated in Quebec. Both carriers run their own independent wireless networks.

Plans and pricing

Rogers offers 17 postpaid no-contract plans, including matching Quebec-priced tiers and dedicated 65+ senior pricing at several levels. Videotron offers 6 postpaid no-contract plans available in Ontario and Quebec, including a Canada-US-Mexico tier and a flat-rate Canada plus International plan. Below are 5 representative general plans from Rogers and all 6 Videotron plans.

Rogers' cheapest plan starts at $20/mo in Quebec (talk and text only, no data), compared to Videotron's cheapest at $30/mo for a similar talk-and-text 5G-capable plan. At the 100GB mark, Rogers' Essential plan is now priced the same as Videotron in Quebec ($50/mo QC vs Videotron's $50/mo), though Rogers' Essential includes only 24 months of US roaming with no Mexico coverage, while Videotron's 100GB plan includes ongoing Canada-US coverage as a standing feature with no time limit. Rogers' Popular and Ultimate tiers offer genuinely unlimited data, a tier Videotron does not currently offer; Videotron's highest data allotment tops out at 200GB. Videotron also offers ongoing monthly bundle discounts (up to $15/mo) when combined with Videotron home internet, which is not part of the Rogers plans shown here.

5G and network coverage

Coverage figures below are based on the ISED Terrestrial Spectrum Licence Site Data Extract and Statistics Canada 2021 census dissemination areas, last updated March 2026. Rogers leads on every national measure, operating more than six times as many towers as Videotron.

Rogers covers 98.3% of Canadians on 4G LTE and 96.7% on 5G nationally, well ahead of Videotron's 65.9% and 65.6%. Notably, even in Quebec, Videotron's home province, the modeled data shows Rogers slightly ahead (98.7% 4G / 97.5% 5G for Rogers vs 96.7% 4G / 95.7% 5G for Videotron), so Videotron does not hold a clear coverage edge even on its own home turf. Videotron has little to no coverage outside Ontario and Quebec (with BC at 54.4% 4G, AB at 70.0% 4G, and most other provinces and territories at or near 0%), while Rogers covers every province with only the territories (NT, NU, YT) unreached.

Head-to-head comparison

Roaming rates compared

Rogers and Videotron take different approaches to roaming. Videotron sells a flat-rate Daily Traveller Pass that any plan holder can activate when travelling: $13/day in the US and $15/day for international destinations, with no 7, 14, or 30-day pass options confirmed - it is a daily rate only. Rogers uses Roam Like Home daily rates supplemented by multi-day passes that vary by region, with Popular tier customers getting 25% off those rates and Ultimate tier customers getting 50% off. That structural difference matters depending on trip length: for a short trip, Videotron's low flat daily rate is simple and cheap, but for longer trips, Rogers' multi-day passes (especially with the Popular or Ultimate discount) can work out cheaper per day than paying Videotron's daily rate for the same number of days.

United States

Europe

Caribbean and Mexico

Asia

Latin America and other international destinations

Australia and New Zealand

Videotron's flat $13/day US and $15/day international rate beats Rogers' daily rate in every region, making it the cheaper option for a short trip of a few days. Rogers' advantage appears on longer trips: its 14-day and 30-day passes bring the effective daily cost down well below both Rogers' own daily rate and Videotron's flat rate, and that gap widens further for Rogers Popular and Ultimate tier customers who get 25% or 50% off those same passes. Always confirm which specific destinations fall inside Videotron's 100+ destination list before travelling, since the highlights provided do not break out a country-by-country list.

Device financing

Rogers spreads device costs over 24 monthly installments billed alongside the monthly plan, with an option to upgrade and begin a new term after 24 months. Videotron brands its equivalent the Simplified Payment option, which divides the cost of a new device into 24 interest-free (0%) monthly payments based on your usage plan.

Perks and add-ons

Rogers bundles free Citytv+ for the first 3 months on its 5G+ plans, and now includes Rogers Satellite connectivity at no extra charge across all general tiers, from Lite through Ultimate, rather than as a paid add-on on lower tiers. The 5G+ Popular plan adds 12 months of Uber One, StreamSaver access, and 25% off Roam Like Home daily rates and travel passes. The 5G+ Ultimate plan steps up to 50% off Roam Like Home and StreamSaver access, plus 12 months of Uber One. Rogers 65+ senior plans are available at several tiers, offering the same features at reduced prices, and Rogers operates Fido and Chatr Wireless as sub-brands on the same network.

Videotron offers monthly bundle discounts of up to $15/mo when a mobile plan is combined with Videotron home internet, plus unlimited international messaging and unlimited long distance calling across all plans. Its 150GB, 200GB Canada-US-Mexico, and 100GB Canada & International plans currently include a $50 credit. The 100GB Canada and International plan also includes calling to 110+ destinations at no extra charge, and select plans carry a "price for life" guarantee.

Customer support

Rogers currently holds 8 reviews on Topicks.ca averaging 1.9/5, with common complaints citing unexpected price changes, dropped calls, and limited resolution for rural service issues. Videotron has not yet received any reviews on the site, so its rating cannot be treated as a genuine quality signal in either direction. On support channels, Videotron offers a wider spread including local stores, a community forum, and bilingual support articles, while Rogers adds phone support in Cantonese and Mandarin that Videotron does not offer.
