wut...does the CEO come to your house and shine your shoes too? One local provider in my country does 6GB for 12CAD (equivalent), and they have great coverage...I think most unlimited plans are actually cheaper here. I would invest in a carrier pigeon or something at that price. Sending tasty memes by pigeon...the future is now.

> does the CEO come to your house and shine your shoes too? No, they buy major-league sports teams with the extra money. What do your telecom providers do? Just provide telecom services? What would you say if your PM/president candidates said they'll cut your cell phone bill if they get re-elected? Ours just did. We only laugh because we don't believe them, not because it's a problem.

  UK, we have a lot of MVNOs, and (I believe) it is required for owners of physical networks to provide access to MVNOs (I believe this isn't the case in Canada). We have a problem with investment but prices are good.

Yeah, to be believable it would need to be a explicit promise to significantly and permanently reduce the revenue of BCE Inc. - and that kind of promise would have BCE shareholders in an uproar. As far as I can tell, they don't seem too concerned.

    I’m not even really upset about what I’m paying, just that it only buys me 4gb and getting 10 would cost another $15-20 per month + tax. And US/international roaming... is so high that I just go without or buy a local SIM.

I've found trying to function internationally without my normal SIM to be essentially unworkable due to losing my ability to receive 2FA SMS codes, and since moving from the Lumia to the Pixel line-up, the phones I use no longer have dual-SIM capabilities.
