Hi,
In Canada the options are quite limited. Bell has a 15 gig plan for $105.00, which is a "flex" plan--they start at 100 megabytes for $10, and the price rises as your consumption does. Canada wide coverage. If you exceed the 15 gigs each additional gig is $10.
Telus has a flex plan but the data bucket is 10 gigs for $85. When you go over it is a whopping $0.05 per megabyte or $50 per gig (ouch).
In USA best coverage is still Verizon. There is no company that covers completely. T-Mobile now has data in Canada and in USA they have a "binge on" feature that allows streaming from quite a few sources that does not count against the monthly data "bucket".
Some of us have grandfathered "unlimited" plans. Mine is from Sasktel (they throttle after 10 gigs and send you a letter warning you to stop abusing, or they may cancel). I also have 5 gigs from my Koodo phone, and 5 gigs from a Telus dongle. Those too, are grandfathered plans.
Sasktel does advertise an unlimited data plan for $105. But what they really mean is that it is probably about 15 gigs, and they will throttle you and send a text or snail mail letter (or both).
For USA there are also 'pay as you go' options from trakphone (spelling?).
The bottom line is that access is expensive--and coverage is limited. It is only recently that T-Mobile offered data in Canada.
