    I was about to sign up for verizon wireless pc card access but they limit you to 5 gigs a month.
    Anyone know fast access unlimited?

    Google millenicom.

    There's been a lot of talk about it here but haven't heard from anyone who's tried it. I called them today and they confirmed that they are unlimited.

    I placed my order and should pick it up the next time I'm through home.

    I'll start a new thread once I get started with it.

    i recently looked at the 3 major carriers and they are all know at 5g data. I use the v service with 5 g and I have never gone over the limit. Unless you are doing a ton of movie downloads I doubt you will. I watch abt 5 hours of tv a week all month long and my other internet stuff, and have never gone over the 5 g. My opion having the limitation isn't all that bad.

    Maybe Sprint's usage meter is screwed up. I've been layed over in FL and I watched 5 hrs of tv streaming yesterday, and my usage went up almost 2gb's.

    Last month my usage was 6.5 gb's.

    I went shopping around for unlimited wireless yesterday as well. They are all capped at 5gb, Verizon, ATT and Sprint/Nextel although Sprint/Nextel does offer an extraordinarily expensive 10gb package. I was looking for something that would allow me to use a slingbox but it seems more and more likely that isn't going to happen. The slingbox uses about 3 times the bandwidth you can get on any plan at the rate I watch TV (about 4 hours a day I figure on the road). I'd love to hear something about Millenicom, keep us updated Zero.

    5 gigs is nothing today with all the streaming content online.I can easily use that up in 2 days. I went through this with comcast cable at home about 2 years ago and got dsl. I dont want to go through that on the road and get charged .25 a meg.Thats riduculous.
    I understand verizon use to be unlimited but no more.

    Sprint offers an UNLIMITED Plan for $59.99 a month. Some months I go FAR over 5gig if I am downloading software updates.

    I have heard that the established ones like yours for example may be left alone for the time being.

    I think there has been a demand for the service and they are looking to reduce their price to match the others.
