Your thoughts on Millenicom...

If a rough count is acceptable you can use a small program called Networx. It loads when the PC starts up and counts every byte inbound/outbount that goes thru the PC com port. It accumulates and can be viewed by day/hour/month, etc and does a pretty good job.

We are using it as we keep going over and now that we switched to the 16GB plan it cost $15.00 for each GB overage. Was $10.00 on the 10 GB plan.

The problem for us would be that it doesn't monitor our Roku's usage for both video streaming and Pandora. All our other usage is pretty small compared to it.

The only downside I see with Millenicom so far, is you can't monitor you data like you could with Verizon. I think someone already said every Monday you can check your usage and you can email them once a week to check. That said, I emailed them about an hour ago and no response on what I have left of my 20g plan.

one thing about resellers like this is that there is no guarantee that they will continue to use Verizon. since it is a month-to-month agreement you can leave if they switch.

I have been with them almost 4 years they have not gone anywhere . Rock steady service !

We canceled our Verizon USB as soon as the 24 mos was over and went to Millenicom. Cost with tax for 10G USB was $87.07 a month. For 20G Millenicom Hot Spot is $69.99.

They usually update usage once a week. It's late Monday evenings because I can see it on Tuesday mornings. You can access it through your account.

I have been with them almost 4 years now . They are great . Lots of users out there will give you great reviews . Not a lot of negatives about them out there . Up to you but it is not too good to be true.

Thanks. I had no reason to believe otherwise. Anything wrong in asking?

Nothing wrong in asking . I think a few felt you felt it was to good to be true and there for it must be a scam . It really is not a scam . Sometimes things can be great . Not very often but sometimes !

Hey, if you think Millenicom is out to screw you, then don't hook up with them. We are all telling you like it is, that they do provide what they say at the price they quote.

Yes, I have my Verizon government employee "discount" and have for years, but still will go for the best bang for the buck and that is Millenicom.

You guys sure get touchy about your favorite products. Who said anyone was getting "screwed"? I simply asked if there were any downsides to consider and not just price. You may not understand this, but things are not always as they seem. Thanks for your testimonial.
