I am glad my current phone has built in WiFi so I can steal internet (like a previous poster said). However, without WiFi, I wouldn't go through the GSM network to access the internet (Yes, I am with either Fido or rogers, but its pretty much the same since rogers bought fido).
Not only the data rates are horrible, even the per minute rates are horrible. I have an England sim card that I use whenever I'm in England, I can call from anywhere in England to Calgary for cheaper than calling within Calgary. And both of these cards are prepaid.
But like people said, without competition, these rates are going to stay high for a long time.
