I probably use more bandwidth on my evdo card than any evdo hotspot would come close to. I regularly leave the Lad Vampire running, or a file download going, or file sharing. Verizon, just like any moster corporation, likes to screw over people for what they see as "potential losses". Verizon's loss is only on paper, per bandwidth. In reality, once people find out what they're on, its advertising EVDO technology.
