Re: Reduced amount

no way should he be happy with that... especially considering the bandwidth likely cost the provider a few dimes.

It's insane what canadian companies charge for data... take bell for instance... for $45 I can get a 4MB plan, with each additional MB costing $12????

Lets say a user decides to download a 700MB divx movie (don't give me any lip about copyrights...) that movie would cost him $8400!!!!! And assuming his provider has EV-DO coverage he will be downloading at 3mbit and would have the movie in a matter of 2 hours. Can we say ridiculous overpricing???? A network that gives you the potential to rack up $4200/Hour??? All for a service that costs providers a VERY small fraction of what they are charging.

If Google would buy the 700mhz up here they would be able to offer data that doesn't such and who knows, maybe Bell wouldn't either.

Rogers data pricing is even worse though.... they don't even have a 5GB for $70 cell-card plan.

Make it affordable, and guess what, you've sold yourself another blackberry + data card - 150/mo revenue EASY.
