Broadband policies
And in Canada our government continues to give money to a few select providers who promise to build an infrastructure but don’t, and who continue to charge us some of the highest rates in the world for mediocre service.
1.5 Mbps service typically costs $45 here. If you want higher speeds (3.0 – 15 Mbps) we usually pay around $75. One might expect that 100 Mbps service will come in at, what, about $300/mo in Canada?
