When I blogged last month about Internet connectivity and prices getting better in Australia, I did not expect them to change any time soon. Fortunately, I was wrong.
Just this week, my Internet provider did another update to their Internet plans (due to competition making their plans even better). The main change is in the monthly quota that is allocated to users. On my old plan, I was on a 70GB quota, which was a big improvement from my old quota of 30GB. The just-released plan is going to give me a quota of 150GB a month. Now we're talking!
All these changes in Australia made me curious about Canadian Internet rates. I took a quick look at Rogers and Bell offerings in Ontario and I was shocked. This is probably the first time that Australian companies are providing better value for money. You get better access rates, with a larger download quota and for a lower price. In Australia, you can even get a 1 Terabyte plan. Which is as close as you'll get to an unlimited plan.
Competition has definitely worked for consumers in this case. Now, I wish they allowed for more competition in cell phone service.
