4500$ for internet access!

This guy, from Montreal, used his cell phone to access the internet with his computer for 4 hours and now, he owes 4500$ to Microcell (Fido). The article made a little mistake: the amount of data transferred is actually 103.25 mb, not 103 250 mb. With 103 250 mb, the poor guy would owe over a big fat 3 millions. Unfortunately for him, the article is right about the fact that all companies list all their internet access prices.
103mb in 4 hours, I didn’t know GPRS was that fast.

    I have to admit I was shocked when I looked into data service plans through Rogers. With the basic plan you get something like 3 MB per month. If you go over that, it’s $10 per MB. TEN BUCKS PER MB! That’s insane!
