They have “promo” pricing for the first year but this is the base price. For a promo price of 70 bucks I can get 1000/30 but that means having to switch ISPs every year, some of which do not like users operating servers on home connections.
I actually checked the ISPs in my area a week ago to see if there was any better deals and after the first year I’m still on the cheapest usable plan.
I’m on the edge of Hamilton, Ontario so despite being in the burbs I’m way closer to farmland than the city, and internet plans reflect that.
I would love to choose a faster plan but the 3 times a month that I would actually use a full 1000Mib/s down don’t justify the extra $400-$500 a year on top of ~700 I already pay. I can better spend that on storage, memory, and media.

I’m in Tokyo and pay $55 for 10 gigabit symmetric with unlimited bandwidth… wth Canada
I don’t expect Canada to have the fastest speeds way out in the countryside, but for the major cities there are no excuses.
We still have cell phone plans with limited numbers of sms/mms messages and limited call time. Canada is a backwater for technology.
Oof. We’re luckier than that in Montreal.

Definitely. I’m at 60MiB/s down, but pay way less than you do.
