I am aware that in Canada, the carriers are notorious for charging hefty rates for data plans. I would like to kindly know if anyone has any insights on this subject? I'm currently with Telus for my internet access and may consider asking them if they can provide me with an affordable plan/service. My usage shall be limited to accessing a brokerage account, as well as, receiving incoming trade signals. Thank you all for your feedback!

I'm sure it's gone down, but the ratio's in comparison to US and EU plans (and speeds) are similarly skewed. I’d love an update on this post.

What they should do is have cheaper data rates in main cities (cities with population over 75,000) the only thing i can think of why canada soo expensive is becuase we are soo big in area and soo sparesly populated. other than southern ontario and quebec that is. look alberta all the main cities are at least 300km away from eachoher and only have little farms in between.
