In Canada things are much worse regarding data.
My personal solution is:
5 gigs from Koodo (wholly owned by Telus, so national coverage) $60
5 gigs from Telus (on a dongle) $10 (piggybacked on a cell phone)
10 gigs from Sasktel (supposedly unlimited but throttled to 256 k after 10) I'm grandfathered in $80 (national coverage)
Almost all of my data use is tethered.
Basically I can use up all my data in 3 days or less--so I save the dongle for business use.
I do have three cell phones so my bill per month is around $200.
I do spend lots of time in places that have free wifi such as the local library.
If T-mobile starts offering binge on in Canada I could see myself dropping one cell phone, and getting one from them, even with the low Canadian dollar.
