    If you read the fine print, a lot of those wifi services have even lower download limits. 350-650MB and they cut you off.

    Most of the way through the month and I'm at 1.2GB usage on my aircard. 3.8GB left before it resets back to zero.

    Actually it's $.25/MB over 5GB. I hit the limit on my Verizon card almost every month. I use it to stream video and you only get about 20 hours worth of programming before you top out.
    I do the same thing with a 1TB external, so far so good but I don't run it while the truck is moving. Great idea with the solid state HD, they are starting to make real progress in their price and capacity.

    I wondered about the actual price because their site says .25 but when I got the aircard the paperwork I signed said .05. I waited until I got my first bill and it says .05 too. I think they dropped it and applied it to new contracts but not old ones. You could probably call them and get them to drop the rate on yours.

    Go with Millenicom. Same speeds as Verizon/Sprint, but without the 5GB cap.

    There's a thread in this section of the forum....
