(Canadian) I pay $35/month for 1GB of mobile internet + unlimited phone calls/texts. Over that, I pay 47$/month for unlimited 30Mbps internet. That's ignoring taxes.

Remember that the province I live in is more the size of France and is covered with ice during winter. Carriers have to support the entire province and then the entire country.

I'm with freedom mobile and pay about the same in bc. But I get no service outside the cities and certain areas and my data gets slowed after 2GB I think. A lot of people I know here on telus or Rogers pay insane prices for slow capped data. A coworker of mine was freaking out recently about a $700 phone bill he got for apparently going over his data limit. There was no proof of this from telus and his phone disagreed heavily with how much they'd said he'd used. I can't remember the exact amount but it was ridiculous more than I can use in a month unless I really try though my home WiFi let alone on a mobile. He talked to them but In the end he still had to pay something like $150. I'd like to say thinga like that don't happen often. But it seems like I hear stories about it fairly regularly. Telus plans start at around $80/month https://www.telus.com/en/mobility/plans?linktype=nav https://www.telus.com/en/mobility/plans?linktype=nav Rogers at $85 for 3GB of data https://www.rogers.com/consumer/wireless/smartphone-plans https://www.rogers.com/consumer/wireless/smartphone-plans
