Yes, Megabytes, not Megabits. <\/p>\n<p>I recently learned that theres a huge difference when companies put on their site that you\u2019ll be paying for \u201c50MBps\u201d. <\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t mean that when you test your internet speed you\u2019ll be seeing upwards to 50 Megabytes. MBps actually means Megabits per second, instead of Megabytes. Its so shady. <\/p>\n<p>When you convert 50MBps to Megabytes, you get 6MB download speeds which is horrible if you have a family of 3 or more.<\/p>\n<p>It feels like prices for so many things in Canada are just ballooning more and more without any justification or \u201cupgrade\u201d to the services or goods provided.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- SC_ON --> &#032; submitted by &#032; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/user\/rare_doge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> \/u\/rare_doge <\/a> <br \/> <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/scij9b\/why_are_internet_prices_in_canada_so_shitty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[link]<\/a><\/span> &#032; <span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/PersonalFinanceCanada\/comments\/scij9b\/why_are_internet_prices_in_canada_so_shitty\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">[comments]<\/a><\/span><a href=\"\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>excuse my language unless youre the CEO of Bell.
