I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and used 4.8 gb of data downloading a game patch to transfer to my laptop later in under an hour. 24/7? I hope you don't watch more than 2 or 3 Netflix movies on your next business trip or you'll be out of data. I can't imagine anybody wanting to use their $500-600 mobile device for that! Ironically, the "responsible data usage" will only encourage users to pirate movies and music since they can't afford to utilize streaming services and must download them instead. Brilliant. “Second, Verizon’s existing bandwidth caps are very generous, and are hard to reach with most mobile devices unless one is using a broadband modem and a laptop 24/7.”

I decided to buy their service over Verizon's 4G LTE because I liked the idea of having unlimited data. I could never reach the minimum advertised 2mbs in my house and averaged out at speeds less than 1.2mbs. Upload speeds never topped .17mbs. The very next day I went to the Verizon store and bought a 4150L Mifi hotspot. On the very first connection and test in the store in Manhattan I hit 8.88mbs down, 3.56mbs up. In my house in Brooklyn I got up to 10.97mbs down and .75mbs up. There is no comparison in the service. I would much rather take a data cap with outstanding service, then unusable service. Clear disconnected and searched for the network multiple times; I didn't have one disconnect with Verizon. And I am not a Verizon fanboy, I tried to leave AT&T to get a Verizon iPhone thinking it would be better and went back the next day as well as AT&T's 3g dusted Verizon's 3g, I'm talking 4.59mbs down vs. .67mbs down. But when it comes to 4G service, Verizon is King. Long live LTE. Clear sucks in NYC. I decided to buy their service over Verizon’s 4G LTE because I liked the idea of having unlimited data.

CLEARWIRE WIMAX 4G is unlimited !! Yes unlimited for just $45 per month, and the speed is decent: 3-6 mbps download, sometimes i even get 9 to 10 mbps. Verizon is for rich people, CLEARWIRE is for the masses. 5 gb is ridiculous !!! CLEARWIRE WIMAX 4G is unlimited !!

I can see a limit, but it must allow the user some room to breathe.

A single HD movie takes up that much space. So, if you watch one HD movie, you can't use your modem for the rest of the month?? 5 gigs? That’s nuts. A single HD movie takes up that much space.

This year i was fortunate to get rid of Starband which has caps of 5 gig per month as well. 5 Gigs is not enough to do anything but open News articles. You can;t even consider d/ling a movie or Music. You can't play games which is one reason to have a faster speed. My Fiber is 75 gig a month which allows me plenty of room to surf, but more important i do NOT have to keep a constant watch on my limits.Paying some $50 or so a month is not cheap and people deserve better than 5 gigs for that. 5 GiG is ridiculous to begin with.
