 ·Verizon Broadban..
| borg Notice how companies in the same buisness do very very similar things now in this country? I mean, hell, sprint could've even done 6 gig a month and had the cap advantage.. But hell no, they did 5 gig just like their buddies.. Which still would not suprise me was the same peeps on the board of directors as on verizon and att.. Not in this country at least.. /sigh one owner for soo many companies = GREEEEED!!

Marina Del Rey, CA | 5GB is enough if you are only using a smart phone for data or wap. However, if you are tethering (and paying the fee for it) you can easily exceed 5GB a month in normal browsing. Almost every web page has flash ads, pictures, etc.
The last few days my cable modem was down -- so I've been tehering on my verizon 8130 (have a sprint motoQ as well, but at home, the vzw gets better evdo coverage).
In those last few days, using a bandwidth monitor and not downloading anything or going to youtube, just general browsing of forums,etc, it was ~125MB of usage over a 4 hour period each day. If I used it normally or all day vs. just at night or hit youtube, etc. It would have easily doubled or tripled.
End of the day, the carriers realize they have a bandwidth problem and I guess this is easier way to fix it (cap vs. build out the network more).

| 5 GB gives you about 165 - 170 MB a day, pretty pathetic. I've already began exploring my options for both internet and voice. If going from unlimited to highly limited for the same ripoff price is the game they want to play, then they can play without me.
