Bah... try Canada... where we routinely bend over. My favorite in the last year (or so) was when the industry quietly raised the price of DOMESTIC long distance from .25c/min to .35c/min in the face of unlimited/free long distance elsewhere. It's a monopoly here - no competition, nothing is reasonable... everything is ridiculous. Bell recently added an unlimited browsing plan for $7/month on the Touch, which is the FIRST reasonable move I think I have seen... in a long time.
Data is ridiculous... long distance, ditto... and airtime, well... getting better? As near as I can tell, US users have a lot less to complain about ;)
Oh yeah... we can buy an add-on plan for $12 that gives us 100 long distance minutes I think (though if you ask nicely... or more appropriately, threaten to head elsewhere, they will throw it in... whoop whoop)
