Your prices and speeds are far from what I hear being typical for Canada, but I'm paying 35 euros a month for 500 mbps symmetrical. Gigabit on the website is 73 euros. But that's because I'm in an apartment built when the local monopoly was putting in fiber. Older buildings that were retrofitted later, as well as buildings that were built later, tend to have more providers available. There's one that gives you 1 gig for 35 euros for the first year - and I know they'll be amenable to keeping that arrangement later because you can just threaten to switch and they'll cave. A third is giving out gigabit at 45 Euros for indefinite periods.

Do keep in mind, Estonia is plagued by a Telia monopoly. Other EU countries tend to have cheaper prices. Romania has so much competition, gigabit up/down is like 8 euros and I don't think they offer speeds under 300 mbps apparently.
