Of course, you get what you pay for in coverage

Meanwhile in Canada you can't even get unlimited data over wired internet.
- r7000 16y agoIn Canada I have unlimited data (with fair use policy), unlimited text and unlimited minutes (North America) for $40/month. The existence of such plans is quite new. Concerning the introduction of "mandatory" metered internet in Canada: it appears the big guys may have been so greedy they over-reached. The consumer backlash is strong and the decision is now under review by government.
- hexis 16y agoCould you explain the "fair use policy"?
- iuygtfrgth 16y agoYes - you pay and they decide later what you get.
- r7000 16y agoMax speed to 5GB per month after which they reserve the right to slow down your connection.
- phlux 16y agoCan you then explain the use of the term "unlimited"
- aphexairlines 16y agoThe carrier has an unlimited license to distort the English language.
- fhars 16y agoThat sounds like a mobile plan in the €30 per month range, not like an unlimited residential plan.
- jbri 16y agoI guess that means all our plans here in New Zealand are technically "unlimited"... You know, the ones that give you X GB of traffic, after which you're throttled back to dial-up speeds.
- iuygtfrgth 16y agoIf that's on mobilicty - they use AWS so you are bit more limited in your choice of phones, and where they will work.
- moomba 16y agoYea, the cheap device part is nothing new. Just look on ebay for "unlocked android phone" and you'll find tons of G1's and other low end devices below $100.
- davidedicillo 16y agoI agree, the real deal is the plan. Otherwise you could get an iPhone 3GS for $49 with AT&T and it would be a much better device than that.
