SiriusXM Canada has agreed to pay a $3.3 million penalty for charging customers more than was advertised for satellite radio service, a practice known as drip pricing.

The Competition Bureau of Canada announced the settlement on June 5, which followed an investigation into SiriusXM’s advertised subscription price, according to a government news release.
