There are options in Canada for cheaper phone plans. When I moved to Lum Mobile there was a promo that gave me 25gb of data for free, and data on Lum never expires. Since I am basically always somewhere with wifi, I bought a data I can pay $180 CAD to Lum for my phone for the year. I used a little over 1gb last year.
Depends on the deals you can get. I'm currently getting 120gb/month for $55. Sure not great when compared to a lot of other companies but definitely a lot better than many of the advertised prices.
Robbed implies illegal, which it’s unfortunately not. It’s a matter of government not allowing healthy competition because politicians have their campaigns legally funded by scumbags.
