your friend had no idea how to do basic math if he was paying that much
anyway i'm a special case, i'm on my dads bell employee plan so I pay 35% less than y'all, it kinda helps
but still, I don't have the actual numbers for public mobile and chat-r nor the will to calculate that **** again, but because of the CRTC there are no magical fairytale here.
Same goes for internet, I use Electrobox and it's a LITTLE cheaper than bell and videotron but not by that much, and it pretty much only works if you don't care about cable tv
