I read once that we pay the highest rates for mobile data (or at least I think I did) in the world but I don’t recall reading why. Maybe it had something to do with near-monopolies or infrastructure?
Are there any changes coming that may change this?
How much do you pay? In US I pay $220 a month for 4 people but that includes financing phones. Unlimited 5g data etc.
This is with Verizon, a major carrier…I’ve never tried a cheaper company
In Canada, you can expect to pay $75-$125 per person for a plan with “unlimited data”.
These plans will have a cap for how much of that data is 5g speeds, afterwards they throttle your speeds harshly.
I do not use one of the major carriers and I primarily use wifi at home and work, so my phone is about $100 a year.
Wow that sucks for those rates but I would prefer to pay more for cell phones and have free health care haha.
