Any experiece with Millenicom overage?

They cut off service until the next billing cycle starts. Happened to us one time and we bought a Cradlepoint router with Wifi as WAN and now track data usage in real time. We will get a notice stating that we are at 99.9% of our cap which is what we try to achieve. We are paying for 100% of the plan so we try to use it ALL!

This is also where Millenicom users are fortunate. With Verizonwireless customers have been hit with overuse charges in the hundreds of dollars and it would appear that some of these are often actually in error and the result of bad monitoring software at Verizon.

Am interested to know if Millenicom will cut internet access immediately upon going over 20 gigs.

Yes they will cut you off as soon as they see the over 20 gig on their reporting sys. Their new terms based on negotiations with Verizon to allow them to continue as a Verizon reseller, require that they cut you off at 20 gig. There is no longer any buffer, like the past. However there is still a bit of delay in Millenicom's data use tracking, so if you only go over 20 gig the day before the month ends, they probably wont see it until the new month has already started.

Under Millenicom's current contract with Verizon, you will be cut off at 20GB with no "slight overage" allowed as it was in the past. I keep a Straight Talk MiFi (3G only) on hand that I can activate quickly if I just need a few more GB to make it through the month.
