Bell brings unlimited data to Canada
Bell Mobility of Canada has announced that customers can sign up for its new unlimited data plans for $75 CAD (about $74) per month. The service is only available with wireless modems, so tethering is a negative. The data speeds are right up there with those in the States and is delivered via EV-DO Rev. A courtesy of Bell. Customers can choose between three different modems: the Sierra Wireless AC595, the Novatel U720, and the Novatel P720. Seeing how it used to cost $100 for 1GB of data, the boys and girls at Bell seem to be getting the bigger picture.[Via Boy Genius Report]

Hey, Rogers, you paying attention? $75 is still steep, and no tethering, which sucks (but I can't imagine it's too distant on that horizon) but it's a start -- Teddy Boy better get off his fat wallet and respond to this or he's going to lose a lot of business. I hate Bell and refuse to go CDMA, but if Rogers get is on some of this action to stay competitive then I might -- just [I]might[/I] see some lovely HSDPA action in my future.

Hopefully this is the beginning of reasonable data prices in Canada.
$60 for 25megs on Rogers!! They could at least provide lube before my monthly raping!

Wow. It's about flipping time. $75 is way out of my price range, but I also hope it's the start of reasonable prices in the future.
