Its helps a lot to know where you live. Not everything is available in the entire country. And does it have to be wireless or is wired fine.

As stated by smoothy. ISP's vary by city. The internet at my house isn't offered at my parents house. I am not sure how Canadian Internet works ;) (if there is a difference at all) but why would you need wireless. Would wired be fine?

Province, State, Territory whatever applies in your country... and City helps too, we dio have english speaking members from all four courners of the globe so to speak.. We don't need anything personal that might identify you.
Wired is much cheaper and is usually flat rate (one price not matter how much you use) most places... wireless can vary greatly due to how much time you spend online and how much data is used. I would look at, and compare plans offered by every provider in your area... be honest about your usage... and base your decision on that. Keeping in mind limited plans can turn VERY expensive if you use more than your alloted amount of time or bandwidth.
For example... I have a 30 meg internet connection... but no wireless data service at all due to cost. I pay less for my 30 meg service than any data plan all would be far slower far slower would cost. Factoring in my monthly data usage... wireless would bankrupt me in just one month... and I'm not exaggerating. Who I actually have doesn't matter because they would not be available where you are located. Its just an example I'm using.
Unless you REALLY have to have wireless, and some people will, I would advise against it in favor of the wired landline for the better AND more cost effective alternative.
Just for comparison.. My home Phone (unlimited calling)... Cable TV with Premium channels AND Internet combined are less than $140 a month.

Thanks this might help me pick a better paln but I don't think I will go bankrupt from the hight pric right away just that this bill was so hight. Most of the otheres where OK. And I would Like it to be a fixed rate plan.
