    Millenicom.com.

    Cheapest rates I've seen. They use Verizon or sprint networks depending on the plan you choose.

    I pay $59 a month for 20gigs on Verizon network. 99% of the time I have a connection. 99% of that time it's fine for videos from Hulu, Netflix, Xbox live, etc. I have yet to go over my 20gigs. I keep the video resolutions set to low to guard against overage. I watch movies or tv shows most days. Most I've used is 16gigs.

    Buy a 4G phone off e bay or craigslist and keep your unlimited data.....they r going to screw everyone they can with the new Gig package. Phones are only going to start using more and more data.

    Virgin Mobil air card from Wally World cost about 90 bucks. Then you get 1 gig for $20 per month. Sometimes fast, sometimes not. Rarely don't get signal. Great for a few you tube clips, email, blogging...if you want to watch movies or tv shows, not good.

    Why pay $50 for 5 gig when you can pay $70 for 20 gig? Its the same Verizon service only through a third party

    I had never heard of Millenicom before and I just got it last week. I doubt I'll use 5gb a month anyway, but I'll check them out if I feel I need more..

    I have unlimited with Verizon, and use the app Foxfi to create a wifi hotspot for free, why pay $20 to Verizon to do the same thing.
