There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!
Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
- ex. How do I change oil
- ex. How to tie shoes
- ex. Can you cry underwater?

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐.

I'm currently paying $34/40GB with Fido on a BYOD plan. My plans have been decreasing in price while increasing in data over the years. About 10 years ago, I was paying about $10 per GB.
Well that's crazy because I pay 45 PLN for 100GB during day and another 200GB during night here in Poland which is about 12 USD or 15 CAD. These differences are absolutely insane.
Canadians are just too used to getting dry fucked on taxes and bills. If they started charging Poles 150 PLN, you'd burn down their headquarters!
I do think things are getting better but not at the rate of other countries and a lot of good plans seem to be for new customers or for a limited time.
