Canadian wireless users have some of the lowest data usage in the world, but Canadian telecom companies make the most money off the customers they have, a new report shows.

A study by telecom comparison site Tefficient looked at data usage per SIM card in 36 countries worldwide in 2017, and how much money telecoms made per gigabyte of wireless data used.

Canadians used about 1.3 GB of data per month per SIM card last year. There were only five countries where wireless customers used less than that— the Czech Republic, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, and Greece.

As a Canadian that conserves is data usage and looks for free wifi when out and about I can attest to these findings being true. We get screwed on wireless data rates while the telecoms collude against us and get rich.

Also a Canadian. I live in Quebec and the rates for LTE are insane. I barely use my data because of it. If you want to enjoy Netflix on road trips, forget it.
