One of the things I have been wanting to see in Canada for a while now is an unlimited data plan that is reasonable in price (sub $100/m) and that need has been fulfilled by Bell. Bell Canada has released an unlimited data plan for only $75/m. While this is still much more expensive than plans in the U.S.A., I am still quite excited, as I would be willing to pay seventy-five dollars during a two week road trip to have access to the Internet from my laptop in areas where I could receive such a signal.
I found out about this on RedFlagDeals, a great place to find great deals in Canada.
I am not sure how long this plan has existed, but I am very happy to see this sort of thing beginning to show up here in Canada. For far too long we have paid through the nose for cellular data plans. I almost want to take a road trip vacation, just so I can buy a cellular data card for my laptop and try out the service. (I could also use a vacation as well…)
The point of this post? Just to express my excitement over this development. Now if other carriers would lower their prices, maybe we could get some competition going.

I’d still be careful, I was looking at switching from Bell to Rogers with my blackberry, RIM isn’t treating us CDMA only uses fairly, which didn’t happen but in the process I found out my “Unlimited Data” plan I’ve had for years with Bell on my Blackberry is not what they make it seam! From what both Rogers and Bell told me Unlimited = 30MB a month and there is still outrageous overage charges. Before going nuts I’d push to make sure it really is what they are telling you it is!
