We all know that data roaming into Canada can be terribly expensive. We cruise extensively in BC waters each year and use the Verizon cell phone plan with roaming into Canada, costing $10 per month, for our voice communications. For data, I use a Telus device (Telus Mobility Internet). In my case it is an USB 4G (LTE) wireless modem (called a Mobile Internet Key) which I use on my laptop and in my Cradlepoint router on the boat. The latter allows internet connections with USB 4G LTE devices, as well as acting as a wifi bridge. Telus also has a dedicated hotspot device, called a Smart Hub. I use their Flex Plan which costs $10 per month when not using data and goes to $70 per month when using between 2 and 6 GB monthly. The tiered plan has an overage cost of 5 cents per MB. Getting registered with a US-based credit card can be tricky, but be persistent and you will get an account. However, you must buy the device to get the flex plan. I have found that the Telus kiosks operated by Tom Harris Co. to be fairly good at the billing process. I have used them in Whiterock and in Victoria, BC. We do use a lot of internet while underway and in anchorages and found that Telus has good 4G coverage in the Gulf Islands, the Strait of Georgia, and up the Johnston Straits to Port Hardy.
