It's hard to tell since this information isn't publicly available but the parent company Quebecor does announce their quarterly earnings.

I would also like to know. Is the pricing in Quebec similar compared to the other phone companies?

Some other carriers offers better pricing here which I can't really mentions company names, but FIZZ got the upper hand on pricing, service, and community with the forum, sharing data ability and such... FIZZ is well balanced!.

It will be interesting to see how things shake out when Intro pricing ends for the other provinces since the basic plan most carriers offer (unlimited text + calls + vm) is $15 dollars here and when intro pricing ends it becomes $21.

Intro pricing halves the text and calls option to $2 and $4 respectively. Currently the intro pricing matches most of the promotional rates of other carriers and in most cases with data Fizz beats them in value.

When intro pricing ends we'll see an increase of $2-6 dollars and then Fizz loses in value. We'll have to wait and see what will happen when intro pricing ends.
