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.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

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.

Damnit - I downloaded the mobile app because I couldn't remember my password, and now the app is asking for it too!
(I should be pleased by the security feature, but I was kind of assuming it could just check "whatever account is on this phone")

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Huh. Data plan fun facts: 1) we are both way under the cap, should we get stuck renewing for some reason (phew!); 2) I use, like, 8 times more data than teh hub (this does not surprise me. I blame you people.); 3) we both had giant spikes in April compared to our normal data usage trend and I CANNOT REMOTELY REMEMBER what we were doing in April that would've caused both of us to use way more data given that we tend to hit totally different sites at different times and places.
