You're conditioned to think $100 is good.
I think that depends on quality. A gigabit fibre connection is pretty damn good. Far faster than most households need by a good magnitude. And the fact that most places offer such a thing for under $100 is pretty decent.
The real question is how much does it cost to get a 10mBit connection. It's been a while since I've checked, but I'm pretty sure that it's also pretty close to $100, which is definitely a problem.
I'm my area, cable internet goes for about 13$/Mbps.
I don't know about fiber. The only provider is Bell and I hate them and will never give them my money again.
Bell is usually the only provider for fibre, as it usually replaces DSL and Rogers uses cable. Most of the time the starting price I've seen is about $100, but that's for a gigabit minimum.
On the other hand, $13?! I've never seen any sort of internet connection going for so cheap in the entire country!
I'm in Montréal and I'm using Teksavvy as a provider. That's the price they offer.
I think having Vidéotron as a local competitor helps with prices.
Wow. I'm on Teksavvy as well, but I don't think they offer anything near that price in Toronto. Just goes to show that competition means a ton.
