    Yes, Verizon has the best coverage for wireless internet and they are the only provider of 4G LTE service. Verizon also has unlimited minute plans starting at $69.99.

    $20 - 2gigs. This is adequate for every day usage, email, etc as long as you aren't watching movies or downloading lots of big files.

    Yes, 97% of all Verizon Wireless customers don't exceed 2GB per month. Netflix and Pandora are two apps that stress the limits of your data plan. Regular browsing, email and most apps don't even come close to that.

    LOL!!! I use 70-80G+ each month on my SPRINT line. I have my Epic rooted, and use it a FREE hotspot continuously downloading movies, music and TV shows to my laptop! (BTW, PDANet is awesome as well)
    ANYONE who pays for anything other than unlimited bandiwdth is getting hosed! Does Sprint have the coverage of Verizon? NO! But I know how much my bill is going to be every month, and know I can do/watch/download whatever I want, whenever I want, and not have to play 'mystery bill' And I routinely see speeds on 3G in excess of 1Mb and 4G excedding 4Mb on Sprint. Do buy into the LTE hype!

    4mbps is slow for Verizon's LTE. Was just in Plano Tx and had 15mbps tethered, and in Portland, I've had 20mbps. BTW, I've had unlimited data and tethering.

    You've been-----\/\/\/\-----Thunderstruck!!!

    FWIW, those are speeds while traveling...sitting still yields better results.
    But, for 90% of their customers, highs speeds do them no good if you still have a crazy low cap on your bandwidth.

    If I was not grandfathered in to unlimited, I would be on Sprint.

    I only pay $150/mo for THREE lines, an Airave booster at home, all with unlimited everything and insurance on all my phones (1500 combined ANYtime minutes, but unlimited mobile to mobile and nights/weekends starting at 6pm)

    Difficult to use 2 gig per month unless you are downloading videos, or streaming radio. (podcasts are much smaller) All those things can be done at any hot spot for free.
