Millicom just did a price increase, in a world where cell plans get cheaper and cheaper they just did a MAJOR price increase.. Verizon likes to do those too per my daughter who just jumped off that ship onto another carrier.
One thing to consider when you shop for cellular internet is what happens when you go over the limit.. Video seems to average about a gig and hour. I've seen hour long low-res video at about a quarter gig, and high res at up to 4 gig, but the average seems to be about 1gig per hour.
Far as I know most of the pay in advance plans, Millicom, Virgin Mobile and such you hit the limit and they simply cut you off, the only page you can access is the pages to enter payment.
Verizon: Monthly plan: You hit the limit and they do send you warnings, but you have to read them.. But you BREAK the limit, they break your bank account, overage charges are a real pain.
T-mobile You hit the limit,,, You drop to 3G. But no extra charge.
I have hit my T-mobile plan limit twice, both times on the last day of the billing period, and I got lots of warnings, SMS, E-mail and device warnings. Usually the next day on the E-mail (After it reset).
ALL providers... Verizon seems to have the best coverage but not one of the companies in the cellular business is 100%,, all have dead spots.
