I have had a Verizon evdo card for a year, and use it for my primary connection when traveling (sometimes weeks at the time) and when hanging in coffee shops etc. when not, and for backup to cable in my home office. I don't worry about usage, and have never exceeded 5 gigs. I do email, remote access, and web access. You tube etc. is for dummies who can't read. If I want to watch a movie, I play a BD on my 60" HD set. If I want to listen to music, I buy it and rip it. When you exclude all that crap, 5 gigs goes a long way. The service is very near perfect for me, and well worth the cost to set me free from the office. |

| Just because 5 gigs / month works for you it does not mean that it works for everybody else.
Some people get their netflix movie downloads through their Internet connection. Some people listen to their satellite XM radio through their Internet connection. Some people use VPN to remote into work through their Internet connection. Some people want to do all of the above plus more.
I'm glad 5 gigs/ month suits your needs. You seem like a happy consumer and I'm sure your ISP is more than willing to take as much money from you for 5GB as they can possibly get. Just realize that there are people that want to use this service with far different needs/expectations than you. |

| 5 gigs/month is ridiculous, especially with multimedia apps like YouTube and slingbox.
I'm discontinuing my data plan because it makes NO sense to keep it, and in this economy with rising gas prices money is getting tight.
That $45/month will probably be better off filling my gas tank. |
