But still why does it matter to you? Do you want us in the u.s. to rush to our isp and demand lower prices because the prices in Canada are less? Do you want to have an article in Consumer Reports or something? Do you want us to move to canada just to get lower prices on internet service? First of all even if internet service is cheap in canada, a lot of other things are cheaper in the u.s. or other countries. Second the businesses in this country are only out to make money and the rate they charge us is probably the max that they could convince average people to pay for the service. Saying that they are ripping us off is wrong because obviously we are not being charged more than $10.00 over the price you pay, and we are willing to pay that much to get a service we want. A rip off would be if we were paying double what you pay and we got horrible service. If I were to post a thread saying that "Housing is cheaper in Kansas" it would look like I was just trying to convince people to move here, or that I was bragging about my home. It just seems like that is what you are doing.
