    I suppose Sprint is Linksys' partner to make it work. I found the
    information on the website and thought it very ironic, givin the 5GB/month
    limit on Verizon's ****ty "unlimited" internet service, which would render
    it useless on Verizon.

    A ROUTER would make connections to MANY computers in a NETWORK all
    sharing ****ty Verizon's 5GB/month limit. By day 10, it would be dead.

    If you consider this "useful", I'm very proud of you.

    The false advertising of "unlimited" is what pisses me, and many others,
    off. Verizon should be prosecuted for these lies. 5GB/month ISN'T
    "unlimited" by any stretch of the lawyer imagination.

    Cellular phone companies haven't gotten over the idea of selling data by
    the kilobyte. 5GB/month must turn their faces red. Sometime sit down
    and figure out how much 1GB costs you on the SMS ripoff.

    As usual, your constant stream of defending these schemes makes one
    suspicious of your motives.

    If you're using a router and using more than one computer you are already
    violating Verizon's tos anyway. It's like we're comparing degrees of
    sinning here, by using a router with Verizon's service, you are still a
    sinner in their eyes much less having two to three computers hooked to it.
    It does seem ridiculous that one can only surf and email, no streaming
    media of any kind is allowed unless it is from Verizon themselves. 5GB is
    nothing these days. More and more services use bandwidth, it is pointless
    to have a fat pipe coming to you if you are only allowed to consume through
    a small straw.

    I have a friend who works for a huge construction firm. His company
    provides him with a Verizon aircard and Verizon unlimited cellphone so he
    can call the company's mainframe as a virtual terminal to do business.

    We've really hit this little card hard, well over 5G/mo, streaming,
    downloading, FTP, all kinds of forbidden stuff. He even leaves Skype
    running on it the whole time he's away from home and calls me often on
    "Verizon Skype" discount cellphone service.

    I think large corporate customers must not be strapped down to 5GB/month if
    you buy a thousand accounts/cards from them. We can't seem to get them to
    dump him...(c;

    I suppose it has to do with the $20K/month cellphone bill...??

    Just so people can understand you might want to elaborate why this is a
    problem for the typical mobile aircard user since statistically 90% of
    the bandwidth is used by 5% of the users who are into p2p or p0rn.

    Because legit users might need more than 5GB as well. Web developers,
    photographers, even FTPing large business files could consume 5GB in a
    month easy The porn slurpers are taking waaay more than 5GB, so 10, 20
    or even 40GB might be a more reasonable limit, yet still have the desired
    effect of locking out abusers.

    It just seems to me that one should be allowed to download more in a
    month than he can fit on his digicamera's CF card! ;-)

    Now that's results! Since this thread started, Verizon has already
    increased the download limit 20%! ;-)

    Doesn't matter, unless the webpages have so much movie spam on them
    loading up it causes you to get dumped. Some of those quicktime movies a
    webpage loads to sell you something you don't want are over 2-5MB! It
    wouldn't take long for them to suck up 5GB/month, at all. AND, they KEEP
    downloading if you keep the webpage up while you're reading what little
    content are on them, these days.

    You might end up being trashed from the aircard network just because of
    the spam movies from the ad mongers.

    P2P and everything else normal net users do is FORBIDDEN. I'd been told
    by Alltel's people it wasn't the case on Alltel, but that wasn't true if
    you search through the Alltel website. They have the same awful
    restrictions....webpages, email and company intranet ONLY....everything
    else is forbidden. If a webpage forwards you to an FTP server, you've
    broken their AUP without clicking a thing. How stupid.....
