    All compaines at one point said that they wre unlimited, but they just didn't tell custs b/c rarely normal users would never reach the limit. The same goes for your dsl at home, their limits on that to. Wireless networks will always have limits, might want to talk to cust service about getting on a business plan for the data card

    A myspace page alone is 3 to 5MB minimum each time it loads...not counting logging in and going to the home page!

    I've been connected since 2pm and have done 1.54 GB's transfer just from browsing Bimmerforums, Importatlanta, logging onto myspace once for 5 minutes then logging off, and checking my gmail twice but not actually opening any e-mails. 1/2 a day and I've already did 25% of my allowed monthly usage...that is complete BULLSHIT. If i'm over my 5GB allowance then I just blew over $500 in internet usage in the last 12 hours.

    I've checked AT&T's website and I don't see any other data plans other than the one $60 p/ month for 5GB.

    *edit*
    So i just put my acceleration to the 2nd highest level, it's 1 step from not showing images at all just so I can save some bandwidth...being forced to see photos in that quality makes me want to kick elderly peoples walkers and baby strollers.

    Not completely true. I have AT&T DSL and it is unlimited. I download 24/7/365 on 6mb DSL.
    I also have worked at AT&T for several years.
    Comcast does have limits, they just don't publish what they are. If you go over their unwritten limits, they kick you off their service. There is lots of documentation on those cases.
