I can attest to that, having stayed in Canada for 2 years. US is also expensive. Germany is dirt cheap, but slow.

When people say Germany is expensive to the rest of Europe I think they need to check the salary levels in the rest of Europe. German internet and cell is probably cheaper going by percentage of average income.

It's only the lack of coverage (and maybe the blocked YouTube videos) that bother me in Germany.

The nordic countries have higher salaries. It's really against the trend: Pretty much everything is more expensive in sweden and denmark, except Internet connectivity.
