After reading the fine print in the "unlimited" media package I discovered the maximum 5GB transfer when tethering still applies. It's cool, once I get the home internet connected I won't be using the data card nearly as much. I realize 5GB is only about 7 full CD's worth of data but I was sold on the data card with the impression it would be extremely difficult to reach the data transfer limit. I'm not streaming porn and not operating a server, just normal everyday browsing.


The funny part is I was planning to build a 3G amplifier/repeater setup for about $200 so I could enhance my connection by 35+db...giving me at least 2 extra bars of 3G service since I'm lucky to even get 1 bar at home. Screw that, lol. If I improved my connection I'd just be able to browse faster and transfer more data...i'd have a $5,000 phone bill next month lolol!
