Are my ISP's tiers weird?
Are my ISP's tiers weird?
94 940 mbps 105 cad? I’m paying 40 euros, which feels like 60 cad. I’m in Eastern Europe... You’re being taken advantage of in Canada...
It's about $105 CAD with a 15% tax, around $120. Canada does have some of the poorest internet rates in the world.
These markets are entirely distinct, making a direct comparison difficult. Europe and Canada share similar land areas (about 10 million square kilometres). Canada's population stands at 35 million, whereas Europe boasts 750 million people. The density in Europe is significantly higher than in Canada. For instance, Germany's density ranges from 200 to 250 people per square kilometre, while Canada averages under four. This means network development costs in densely populated regions like Europe are spread across many users, lowering individual expenses. In contrast, Canada must cover fewer people, resulting in higher per-user costs and the need for more extensive infrastructure. This will inevitably increase overall expenses.
In Colorado the price is around 111.95 USD (about 98 euros) for 400Mb, and 300 USD (around 260 euros) for 2000Mb. That jump is huge, suggesting a clear shift from 1000Mb to 2000Mb at a much higher cost.
