said by djrobx:In the case of wireless I think 5GB caps actually make some sense. I don't think mobile broadband networks are currently up to handling people using them to serve torrents, sling TV, or stream music several hours a day. So, I think it's priced and limited to deter people from using it as a primary source of iternet.
IF you're only using it for MOBILE then sure 5 GB is enough, BUT these companies like to state how you can use this for your PC. And frankly 5 GB is a joke. For those that don't have access to DSL or cable this COULD be an alternative. 5 GB? Dial-up potentially uses 17 GB a month. also the overage fees are outrageous $256 per GB for Verizon $503 per GB for at&t. There isn't ANY justification for that. WHile I understand that they can't offer caps like Comcast or Charter in the 250 GB range they certainly can offer say 25 GB. And $1 per GB is certainly enough for them to pay for costs and make some money.
