 spamdPremium join:2001-04-22 Cherry Valley, IL | T1 would be cheaper I have a user that uses a Verizon aircard for their internet because a) they live out in the boonies and b) she needs to work from home.
One week she asked my boss if she could just leave on the SSL VPN while connected. She did leave it on for 5 days and guess what. She consumed 10GB for the month. Costing us $1500.00 on that line. Now as a business I was able to talk them down to half because we do pay $6000-7000 a month for other services such as Blackberries and cell phones.
What I don't understand is if your average joe us using this service and innocently goes over the 5GB and gets charged $1500, do you really think that he is going to pay this?? vs his mortgage or car payment? I think not.
What Verizon should do is charge $60 per 5GB. This pricing model should also curve the bandwidth hogs. -- When everything is coming your way, you are in the wrong lane. |
