5120 MB = 5 GB

The software that comes w/ the USB modem allows you to view usage. Keep an eyeball on it.

Check the thread in Computers... Sprint is starting a 5Gb cap...

If it weren't for my porn addiction, I wouldn't have gone over my 5GB limit.









I'm just kidding. Maybe. I spend a lot of time online talking to my sister and mother. I tend to browse whilst doing so and next thing you know, I'm over my limit. C'est la vie.

No more! From what I've read - if you are an old (had a policy for a while) - they "throttle" your speed down. If you just got your policy - they will charge you a "bunch of bucks" for every MB over. Now, Sprint is in the process of imposing a limit of 5GB as well - no place to hide anymore.
