If Calgary had better MSN Direct functionality in Calgary, than I think the 680 would be worth the extra cost. Given the limited cities where it is available in the US, I doubt it is coming to Canada anytime soon.

MSN Direct is also being phased out, with no new additions or functionality being added. Existing levels of service will be maintained for a number of years, but don't count on it.
