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.

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.

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 :)

Heh, AT&T's next-up-to-unlimited package is 5MB, and I blew through 1.5GB last month.

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
