And here in Canada we pay 30$/MB for over-the-air data, and a 5Mb (that's mega-bit, not byte) internet connection is almost 50$ per month. That's also pretty much the fastest you can get even in the capital (Ottawa). God I feel like I'm living in a third-world country.

Don't feel too bad, Finland has been (and still is) held back too.

Although, now there's one cable ISP that offers 110/5Mbit/s for around 70 Canadian dollars per month.

That's basically the only operator interested in advancing things.
