Cheaper phone plans for Canadians could be closer than we think.
On Monday, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) announced that it’s reached a significant milestone in increasing phone services competition in Canada.
Is that a problem? I’m not saying that we all wouldn’t like lower bills, but is comparing your internet bill to your insurance premium a pragmatic way to approach finance? Also, how much are you giving your ISP every month? You can get a gigabit fibre connection for $100 or less.
I think that depends on quality. A gigabit fibre connection is pretty damn good. Far faster than most households need by a good magnitude. And the fact that most places offer such a thing for under $100 is pretty decent.
The real question is how much does it cost to get a 10mBit connection. It’s been a while since I’ve checked, but I’m pretty sure that it’s also pretty close to $100, which is definitely a problem.
I’m my area, cable internet goes for about 13$/Mbps.
I don’t know about fiber. The only provider is Bell and I hate them and will never give them my money again.
