    Luckily data caps for internet is pretty rare. Data caps for mobile data, though, is ridiculous.

    My business pays Rogers $100/month per phone on a BYOP plan for 100MB of data with $15/GB overages.

    I just recently bought a personal plan. Decided to get the cheapest one I could, and went with Bells subsidiary Lucky Mobile, and it is still $40/month and I get 1GB of data. At least there’s no overages, as the speed just drops to 128kbps. Still, at $40 it’s basic. No VoLTE, no visual voicemail, no wifi calling, no hot spotting… nothing.

    We get ROBBED here.

      I haven’t been living in Canada for a while so things must have changed a bit since then. The strat is to get an american plan with roaming at that point…

        I’ve heard a few people say that, but the issue I have heard is that you require a US address/ID and have to go in person to sign up.
