I've had all three, and vastly preferred Verizon. Of course, the service in your area is key. I would talk to friends in town.
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

I have Verizon and have never had a problem.

Verizon`s cap is 5gig. But boy howdy do I know, since it`s my primary internet connection. Now, mind you, I have unlimited data on my not-smartphone (Env3...I don`t pay for the extra smartphone plan), but that`s only usage on the phone itself, no tethering. I could tether, but it would cost me another $50/month and would have the 5g limit. However, Verizon`s coverage is vastly superior in my rural world. And Alltel dumped me for being too high a usage customer. So I kinda have no choice.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
I wonder how much data I use on my iPhone. Bulk of it is e-mail and B.org.

Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Huh. Seems the last 7 months, my usage has been between 57 and 110 Mbytes per month. So a 2Gig cap wouldn't be horrible. Since the new OS for iPhone won't be available for my first gen phone, I'm thinking about upgrading.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
o_a, you won't have to give up your unlimited plan even if you upgrade to the newest gen. See Jessica's info a few posts up. Current customers are grandfathered in.

Our wings are not tired
Yeah, I have a Verison MiFi unit, and even on months when I've been on jobsites and have used it quite a bit I've nowhere near the 5 GB cap.
As long as you aren't streaming video all the time that's a pretty good cap. Consider that a full CD uncompressed is only 640 MB, you can actually move quite a bit of information.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Verizon it is. Now I have to go over there and pick a phone. And probably cancel cable to cover it.

Trust my rage
I was actually shocked that I, who gets tons of crap from family about how much I am on my phone, only used 242MB at my max, and was normally between 100-200MB.
