Canadians just don't even have mobile internet on the radar unless their workplace pays for their Blackberry. I'm one of the few Canadians that has an old sidekick with a 20$ unlimited data plan. The internet is painfully slow, I'm holding onto it until we get mobile data rates fit for the industrialized world. I have been pushing this issue up here for a long time but nobody seems to notice.

Recently Rogers announced how they just rolled out their new 3G wireless network to Quebec. With it they are offering a new plan of $5 for UNLIMITED video chat ... but only 10MB net browsing. Likewise, for $25 you get unlimited radio and video on demand to your cell phone ... but still only 10MB max browsing. Why? Their line is that their system cannot handle the traffic. Except logically it can as quite able to stream video and audio. And yet no one calls them on it because we Canadians are too passive or don't understand they are being cheated. I am trying to figure out what to do about this ... The situation is actually more sickening then you described it.
