We get so ripped off for net speeds here in the US.

 

Us Canadians take it in the ass when it comes to internet services/cell phone.

It's a damn monopoly over here thanks to Rogers.

iPhone service plans anyone?

 

IPhone plan wouldn't suck as much as it does now if it didn't force you to sign up for 3 years!!!

$35 (250 minutes, unlimited calling after 9PM) + 20 dollars (2500 text message + caller ID) + $30 (6GB data, expiring tomorrow) + 8 bucks (Systems Access Fee.... WTF?)

 

= $105 After tax/ month for next 3 years.

 

 

Welcome to Canada, babe.

 

Good lord, thats damn near $3,800 just for their plan, add in the cost of the phone and taxes and you easily break $4,000. 

I'm sure its a nice technophile toy and all but I find it hard to believe that its $4000 good.
