Interesting thought, though you don't seem to be used to European(!?) standards. Just as a comparison: In Austria we have one provider that charges 20 Euro for 15 GB of data. If you are below 27 you can save another 4 Euro. So that makes a little more than a Euro/GB. If you don't want to sign a contract you can get 1GB for 20€ which is valid for 12 month. Cool, hm? I leave the task to you to compute the factor by which that is cheaper than Canadian-standards, but take care that your calculator doesn't get fooled by an overflow ;). Have a good one, Felix Hi Alex!
