It sure is brutal trying to stay connected if you're on a very tight budget.

Anyone remember how 6 years ago, it was in the news how American telecoms started offering unlimited full speed mobile data? The only reason that didn't come to Canada was that "data caps were too lucrative."

If Canadians weren't so nice maybe we wouldn't all just roll over and pay magnitudes more for fractions of what every other developed country in the world gets.

One has to wonder... Why doesn't a single company just roll in and offer unlimited mobile data and shake things up? Oligopoly is the word you're looking for, a handful of companies (ie the "big three") operating together like a single, corporate monstrosity known as a monopoly thanks to the popularized board game

A Google Fi plan with unlimited North American roaming is like 20USD on a multi-line plan...
