| Millenicom NOW AVAILABLE
As of today, Millenicom is now offering mobile broadband again without bringing your own device. Details below.
Sign-Up: one-time $49.99 fee, $15.00 shipping fee, $59.99/month. First month of service is prorated.
Closure: to close the account the device needs to be returned in its original case with the original contents to our Portland office; to avoid the need to return the device and avoid risk of a $200.00 replacement charge, client needs to select "Buy Device: $99.99 one time fee" from the Device Purchase Option field at sign-up. Usage: although we do not have a 5G cap, upstream carriers request reasonable usage for this service. If the client requires an always-on or high usage connection, please select our DSL package starting at $39.95.
Amplifier: Cyfre CA-819 more than likely at a cost of $199.99
Another neat addition is static IP's with their mobile broadband for $10/month |

As Millenicom acquires more and more of the big users who more or less were forced off Sprint, Verizon, Wild Blue and Hughesnet because of excessive usage, it won't be long before the upstream carriers demand changes in the Millenicom unlimited service. Like all good things it only takes a few to effect everybody. It will be a shame really as Millenicom is an excellent service for average users. |

| True, but I think Millenicom may try taking steps to remove anyone who is considered excessive usage before they go the cap route. I could see them trying to work with Sprint to find those people and rectify the situation. They may not have a cap, but that doesn't mean they cannot remove people who are becoming a burden to their operations.

| I would prefer they go that route. Identify and remove the offenders. That way the average user is unaffected. The big users are not going to change their ways and will jump from one ISP to another until they run out of options. At this time they are flocking to Millenicom. I'm old enough to remember back when telephone service was party line. Literally 10 or 15 on one line. There were always at least one of them that would talk for hours preventing others from using the phone or receiving a call. |
