Canada’s broadband fees were lower than those in the United States in 2007 to 2009, but as a result of large increases in usage during the past two years, and generally small usage caps, the average Canadian broadband subscriber paid 3.9 percent more in 2011 than the average U.S. subscriber did, PwC report says.
Differences in average prices between nations and regions are not unusual, in any segment of communications. But the study does suggest that growing usage, smaller caps and the need to upgrade to bigger tiers of service are having an impact in the Canadian market.
