Wireless Data Comparison

Since I last surveyed Canadian options for high speed wireless data:

- Rogers has raised the cap on its top EDGE plan (C$100) from 100 MB to 200 MB
- Bell and Telus have imposed caps (250 MB) on their EVDO 1x plans (C$100) which can be expected to provide better performance than currently available EDGE technology

Meanwhile, the US cellular carriers continue to offer uncapped high speed data plans at lower rates than their Canadian counterparts:

- T-mobile EDGE (US$49.99)
- Cingular EDGE (US$60 with voice plan, $80 without)
- Verizon EVDO 1x (US$60 with voice plan)
