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.

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

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.
