said by skuv :It works fine for the cell phone industry. I was paying $30 for "unlimited" data and only using around 250 - 300MB on 3G per month. Now I pay $15 for 2GB.
Good for you. Now, you do know why it's incredibly stupid to compare a cable connection capped to 5GB to a crappy 3g connection right?
You seem to think highly of your "simple math". But since i don't, let me remind you:
There is
no technical reason behind a 5 GB cap on a land line. So the fact that that the cap is so low and there are huge overages fees makes it perfectly clear why this plan exists at all.
Using the connection even lightly when compared to today's average users will result on a higher monthly payment than their regular offerings.
So by all means, go test your "simple math" yourself and see how your wallet likes it. And please share your savings with us after a few months. Just make sure to bust out an excel sheet for us, because it would just suck if the math got too complicated for you all of a sudden.
