[QUOTE="dustin1706, post: 478030, member: 9128"] Obviously one of the big disadvantages to Cell / internet providers in Canada is the low population density. A single tower or fiber optic line will cover fewer people than it would in other countries. Mind you, this isn't such an issue in the bigger cities, but Canada has a large percentage of rural dwelling residents and the costs are shared by all. Also bear in mind, that some cell providers only cover Tiny parts of Canada. For myself, I am just glad that Wireless internet is starting to become available in rural areas even if it is expensive. When I lived on a farm 10 years ago, all we got was 28k, then I lived in towns and Cities with highspeed, but now I am moving to a small village and my only real option is CCI Wireless (3 Mbps $90 / month, unlimited usage) 10 years ago this wasn't even a possibility. Funnily enough the population density is one of my favorite things about Canada :) [/QUOTE]
