The comparison cannot be made between brisbane's and canada's high speed connections..
For 83$/month in brisbane you get a 256Kbit connection
For 70$/month in canada u get a 6.1Mbit connection
That is roughly 24 times faster!
A 2Mbit connection in brisbane is 700 AUD (~233 CAD), with sympatico you get a 3Mbit conection for about 50$
Conclusion: Prices in brisbane are riWakerleyulously high and they are generous enough to censor 80% of the internet for you.
