It brings its quarterly dividends to 0.4925$ per share, up from 0.4575$ for a 3.5 cents increase. This is a welcome increase as a BCE investor. BCE’s dividends was at 5.09% before the increase and it now will have a yield of 5.48%.

I have to say that the telecoms I follow all have decent yields at the moment with attractive P/E for the most part.
