A reader noted that there have been changes to prices in some flex rate data hub plans. He recommended that I publish a summary of current rates to replace the summary updated on 26 Oct 2011. This is the summary from 2011 . Taxes need to be added.
2011
Data Cap | Bell | Rogers | Tbaytel | |||
Flex Rate | Cost Per GB | Flex Rate | Cost Per GB | Flex Rate | Cost Per GB | |
3 GB | $45.00 | $15.00 | $45.00 | $15.00 | $35.00 | $11.68 |
5 GB | $55.00 | $11.00 | $ 55.00 | $11.00 | $45.00 | $9.00 |
10 GB | $70.00 | $7.00 | $70.00 | $7.00 | $60.00 | $6.00 |
15 GB | $90.00 | $4.50 | ||||
20 GB | $75.00 | $3.75 | ||||
These are the current rates based on information posted on the respective websites as of 21 Aug 2012.
It appears both Bell and Rogers have made minor changes at the 15 GB and 20 GB range while Tbaytel has remained the same.

1. 1. As far as I can determine, Rogers still has the $50.00 maximum for overages charges, They will warn the user about excess usage but only charge the $50.00 limit or $140.00.
Telus also has a data hub plan that is very similar to Bell's. I have been unable to find anyone in the Algoma District using a Telus data hub.
