yeah, who cares about world hunger, Let's get those high-speed broadband first.

I doubt you will even have broadband fast enough to download movies in Canada in 5 years. I'm still paying 40 bucks a month with actual download speed of close to 70kb/s

Man...you are getting ripped off. Rogers or Bell?

 

Rogers. Being throttled hard doing anything. Even ITune downloads, I have to suffer from about 6kb/s download speed at night. That's why I can't even load VGC pages sometimes.

 

Also, I have a quota of about 40gb per month, so 2 blu-ray movie download a month

It's f***ing ridiculous.

 

And don't get me started on Mobile plans here in this country

Wow, that's pretty bad. That's one thing I like about Japan, cheap broadband. In my apartment I have a Fiber Optical connection that I pay ~$35 (US) for. I'm not sure about the actual speeds, but the fastest I've dl/ul has been about 6MB/4MB (yes, that is Megabytes, not bits). My old ADSL connection in the US was slooooow compared to this and might have cost more I think...
