Beanfield may not be available everywhere, but Teksavvy has similar plans.
Teksavvy is available nearly everywhere and I know they have similar plans because I was a customer.

Amazing how someone can take actual advice based on personal experience, and consider it “trolling”
This is the biggest problem, isn't it? I understand somebody not knowing how to live frugally, but at the very least they should be open to learning from people who do.
Don't worry, those of us who how to budget minimally know that you are speaking the truth.
Good luck getting an internet and phone plan for less than $200/month.
My own bills:
Internet (Beanfield): $40/mo including taxes.
Cell (Freedom): $34/mo per phone, incl taxes.
Beanfield may not be available everywhere, but Teksavvy has similar plans.
Or, you know, follow the rule of law instead of lynching people we don't like.
Violence against elected officials is not compatible with democracy. To those cheering at this act of violence: you are as violent and authoritarian as the people you loathe. Shame on you.
They are more representative for the spanish people than junts or pnv or eh bildu ever will be
Except for, you know, the fact that Spaniards voted for them.
Again, that is how a parliamentary system works.
They are indeed tightly interrelated because one of the big reasons why people want to live in the suburbs is in order to be away from traffic, which is tragic because those car-dependent suburbs are a big reason why there's so much traffic in our denser areas. With better urbanism the denser areas become much more liveable for those of us who have no choice but to live there.
This means we need to address the housing crisis in a holistic fashion: housing, transport, daily errands and recreation all come together in a well planed urban area.
It feels like solving the housing crisis is as simple as universally allowing 4-plexes in existing single-family zoning
If you simply increase population density without addressing car dependence then traffic will get much worse than it is now. It is thus imperative that we allow for everyday necessities to be doable within a walking distance of where people live, so that people have the choice to avoid using their car for every single daily activity if they don't want to. This entails at the very least having grocery shopping, schools, retail commercial spaces and pharmacies/clinics within a walkable distance.
Around the world this is typically achieved by allowing commercial activity on the street-facing ground floors of buildings.
The differences are everywhere.
We live in a small apartment and I personally can't see how a single person having budget constraints is living in a house. College towns have plenty of apartments suitable for single people.
We use transit, walking and cycling instead of having a car. She could probably do the same since she lives in a college town.
Our internet & phone bills are much lower because we shopped around and went for a basic plan and cellphones. We don't have pets or other luxuries.
Ultimately, if you have trouble making ends meet you have to start from scratch: what are the bare minimums that you need to be healthy? Housing, transportation, etc.
I understand that some people have trouble accepting that their generation's standard of living is worse than their parents', but their inabiliy to adapt isn't helping them. Most people around the world live much more basic lives than what is common in Canada, and they are able to thrive. They could learn from them.
