I wounder if someone sold them on a bunch of "efficiencies" by dropping radio, tv and whatnot in favour of a web based solution? And now that I think on it, was Canada not listed lately as having some of the worst rural cell/internet infrastructure in the world?
Are you telling me we pay the highest in the world for mobile plans AND have the shittiest cell infrastructure. Jesus christ..
Yes. Essential services with bloated prices and really low reliability.
But think of the profits shawgers is making for their shareholders! Mission accomplished!
I have 200mb of data and it turns off when I run out. If I ever get caught in an emergency, I'm screwed.
