Cancel your Rogers or Bell internet provider ASAP because they are sending out monster bills (up to $650 per month) to customers. Data caps no longer apply if you are a rural Canadian. As far as Rogers and Bell are concerned, anyone outside of downtown Toronto or Montreal is considered a rural customers.
If you streamed anything last month, even a silly Netflix movie, you are toast. Thank God for the BUD. It has no counter-party risk.

Re: Canadians getting Sky Rocketing Internet Bills
Thanks fatso, that looks interesting. About a month ago, Netflix reduced their streaming bit rate in Europe. I think all this is connected. Netflix and other streaming providers have been piggy backing on the internet infrastructure of others for far too long. Now the telcos in certain places have reached full capacity (due to the pandemic lockdowns) and are saying enough is enough and demanding higher prices.
Streaming could get real expensive for many going forward...

Re: Canadians getting Sky Rocketing Internet Bills
Wow,
Why are rural canadians unable to get affordable internet? Could not something be done at the provincial level, at least? We pay circa $115/month for internet and a land line. The internet is ok, slow by today's standards but usable for most things. We are pretty rural here as well. Do rural canadians have land lines that could also offer DSL internet?
