Re: 2 year contract with...

I'd rather have them make it a premium product at $100/100GB. Keeps the kids off the network while still in reach for the average business person. Thats over 3GB a day so I can conduct work during the day and still watch some Slingbox while I am away from the fort on the road or at the airport.

Until they open up the floodgates, I would consider 5GB reasonable for ~50/month, and $80 for 200GB/month.
It is wireless, so I do expect a premium... but 5GB is too low for a locked in contract.
I'd use my cell phone tethered and pay month to month, unless I had business that I could justify it.

5GB cap for a laptop connection?
What are they smoking.
No shit. Bump the cap to 25 GB, knock the monthly rate to $40 and maybe it might be worth it for those who have no other interent option. 25 GB isn't much but I understand wireles companies can't offer 250 GB caps like comcast so I think I'm being more than reasonable.

You can thank the P2P mofos and people who used 3G as their sole internet for the capage. People like me have to suffer

I'm a subscriber to the 5GB capped plans.
