Of course not.
I remember when I first moved to the US and saw the broadband and cell phone prices. Corruption american style.
Don’t visit Canada then. American prices look dirt cheap compared to what we have here.

I've lived in Canada too. I was surprised to find the situation with broadband/cell phone services to be even less competitive (and more pricey) than in the US.

You still didn't answer where
Sorry missed that. This is in Ukraine.

Imagine how much it sucks for the person that is using dial up. Like we know they had zero alternatives.

You mean Canada? Or Australia? Countries where they are as big of a landmass but people dont actually live in remotely close to the entire thing? 95% of people in Canada live in a 100 mile stretch of the southern part of it. Australia is the same way with the coasts versus the interior… its not remotely comparable even if they are the same size on a technical basis
Canada has even worse competition and higher prices than the states lol

Brazil. Our population density map is not that different from the US, only it's over one long shore, instead of three (four if you count the great lakes as a shore). Still, even deep into the Amazon region, like the city of Manaus, you can have 600 Mbps fibre for less than US$20.
Size of the country of population density is not the reason internet access is expensive in the US. Greed and corruption are.
Incomes are lower in Brazil so they have to have lower prices. Avg income in the US is 4x that of Brazil.

I wouldn't point fingers at the US from Brazil when it comes to corruption.

does dial up work over 4/5G voice call? I tested over voip and it doesn't due to distortions in analog signal (maybe some optimization?).

Where the fuck do you get fiber for $12/month?? Not in the US I assume.
No shit. I pay $60/mo for gigabit, and I thought that was a good deal...

No American would spell fiber that way.

Did you forget to convert back to USD and the number is just higher?

No I did everything in USD. It was a few years back so things might’ve changed but while I was still on Reddit I discussed it with some others and at least based on what they were saying, Canadian internet and phone prices were considerably higher than American. It doesn’t help that there’s a duopoly here.
