Telus Raises Stream+ Prices; Fraud Prevention Tips

Telus has announced a price increase for its Stream+ subscription bundles, while the Canadian Telecommunications Association (CTA) is sharing crucial tips for Fraud Prevention Month. Here's a look at both stories:

Telus Stream+ Price Hike

If you're a Telus Stream+ subscriber, you might notice a slight change in your bill. As of today, Stream+ Basic will cost $23 per month, and Stream+ Premium will set you back $43 per month. This adjustment, according to Telus, reflects pricing changes made by their content partners.

Telus provided MobileSyrup with a statement, emphasizing that they remain the only Canadian provider offering a package of three popular streaming services. They also highlight that this bundle offers customers savings of up to 15% per month, despite the price increase.

While the price increase might be unwelcome news, Telus maintains that Stream+ still provides value by bundling multiple streaming services into one convenient package. It's worth checking your current streaming subscriptions to see if Stream+ still offers the best deal for your entertainment needs.

Protect Yourself: Fraud Prevention Month

March is Fraud Prevention Month, and the Canadian Telecommunications Association (CTA) is stepping up to help Canadians stay safe from internet scams. They've launched a website packed with resources designed to help you recognize and avoid fraudulent activities.

It's easy to think you're too smart to fall for a scam, but fraudsters are constantly evolving their tactics. That's why the CTA encourages everyone to check out their resources and share them with family and friends. Knowledge is your best defense!
