I am on Rogers, but right now I am on a Taiwan service that offers 30$/month for 3g and basic cell service. Free tethering and truly unlimited service. I am p

  Yes, but Taiwan is an island only somewhat larger than the state of Maryland, so telecoms have less area to cover compared to telecoms in the US. And yes, tethering has been here since 3.0, and unlimited, but remember that the average Taiwanese salary is about 1/3 of what an American might make. Would you consider a 90$ unlimited and tethered AT&T monthly plan to be a good deal? Still, not properly handling the two major cities where the phones are used the most is ridiculous.

      Well I agree, bad service in key markets like SF and NYC is just disgraceful.

      Density seems to be a challenge, not a solution, for AT&T in those prime markets. I can't imagine providing 3G coverage in Taipei or Kaohsiung is any different than providing it in NYC or SF. Lots of heavy users here too. Sure it is much harder to provide 3G across Canada - but the providers don't have coverage in most of Canada. Even semi-rural areas in Southern Ontario an hour from Toronto have little service.
