      Are they? I pay $25/month for unlimited data here in the US with Visible.

      I think it’s available in Canada with their premium version for $35/month.

      Yeah, they’re getting scammed. Hard.

      Data caps are the biggest joke in the first world. Can’t believe so many people have them.

        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.

        That’s $10.89 American a month.

          I’ll switch to Lum as soon as I learn that they support WiFi calling on Android. We have no cell service, but do have Starlink internet.

      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.

          And yes it should be illegal but…
