Canada's Internet Services are Poor

(left-click to enlarge)
In the Star June 1, 2009, Canada was compared with 29 other countries on Internet quality.
Canada did very poorly:

14th - monthly subscription price
24th - Internet speed
30th - price and speed combined
28th - price per megabyte

Only 4 countries (Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and Belgium) have data transfer caps.

I just checked with Rogers and they increased their 2nd tier service (7MB speed with 60GB data transfer) to 10MB speed with 95GB storage. In my case, it came with a $20/mo reduction in cost (from $55/mo to $35/mo) ... without advising me. Quite a surprise!

Bell has a comparable up-to-10MB service at $43/mo with 100GB data transfer cap.

While I am surprised on Canada's low world-wide ranking, I am pleased with the very recent reductions in cost from Rogers.
