God no, we Canadians all know we are being gouged on telecom prices. Both internet and mobility. We have the CRTC (Canadian radio-television telecom commission) which is supposed to protect the public interest, however they do a piss poor job of even trying to cast themselves in that light.
There are like 3 companies that control the internet oligarchy. They used the government backed fibre expansion subsidies to build out infrastructure, then claim that magically made everything more expensive.
Our telecom is required to be all Canadian companies, but all their customer service is farmed out to India or other similar region call center's.
We pay through the nose of asymmetric internet speeds. I hope starlink and other factors push for a price revolt.

I doubt they will let a Canadian customer just connect to an AT&T station or T-Mobile even if they are in range. Could the local operators even segment the territory into exclusive zones by placing the ground stations a certain way?
