 Posted: Fri Mar 21, 2008 9:11 pm Post subject: New Verizon customer 5GB Enough ? |
 |
|
So I just switched over our family to Verizon cell phones. The reception and quality were great. So up next I decided to get a Verizon air card as my local dsl is $59 for 384KBS/384KBS. So I hooked it up and it works great and is usually way faster then 384 "usually 400-700kbs". My question is should I be concerned about the 5GB limit? All I do is surf the web, check email, download a few video podcasts a month in itunes and thats about it. VZaccess is showing about 150mb for aprox 3 days or so.
Thanks for any input |

| you should have no problem...watch out for updates on your computer....sometimes they are downloaded automaticaly and can be big files. i suggest you download BitMeter 2 for your pc....this will measure how much bandwidth you use and can alert you if you go over your 5g limit |

Thanks. I should have noted I'm on a Mac. I checked and it looks like that bitmeter software is for windows only. Anything else similar to that for Mac? Also why can't/shouldn't I use the software supplied as it does show transferred data in mb ? Thanks for all the help
