Mobile Industry Review: If Ewan lived in Canada, he’d have blown…

    To think we complain here in the UK about data charges! :S

    If Ewan was in Poland...
    on any business tariff he's chose with Era (my current provider), I'm guessing he'd choose the biggest data plan:
    39,00 zł for 500 MB data usage, which I'm covers his usage.

    39 zl at current exchange rate = 9.1472 GBP

    any usage above that is 0,001 zł for 1K. I leave the maths on this one to you

    There go your jaws ladies and gents

    Heh, AT&T's next-up-to-unlimited package is 5MB, and I blew through 1.5GB last month.
  • Ewan · 1 year ago
    And what was the cost?

    I'd actually like to move to Canada one day, so y'know, if Mr Rogers could sort his data plans out, that'd be great :)

    He's probably too busy running his baseball team and television stations, but I'll see if I can give him a call for you Dan.

    Don't let it stop you from moving here one day, we have Tim Hortons.

    Fido do have some data options, specifically billed as "Internet Options for Wireless Internet Access" http://www.fido.ca/portal/en/domore/options.shtml

    If Ewan was on fido, he could sping for the $100/mo option that gives 200M/mo, with overage at $5/MB, so his 275M would have cost the $100 for the month, plus $375 overage - $475 still isn't pretty, but it's a hell of a lot better than $13.5k. Of course, then there are the months you only use 50M and end up paying the $100 anyway.
