I too, live in Saskatchewan. However, since I am a student at the local university, the university was able to reach an agreement with the local telco and cable companies to offer discounted (but profitable) high speed internet to students.
The rates are: C$20.00/mo. for 256kbps download/192kbps Upload DSL C$22.46/mo. for 1.5Mbps download/1Mbps Upload Cable C$25.00/mo. for 1.5Mbps download/384kbps Upload DSL.
I think that's quite cheap. But the thing is, the companies are still making a profit. (They still manage to give out FREE rental of the DSL/Cable modems, and free installation on top of that)
