Come On....
or rather buying a mac?

the data is $30 bucks...and 50,000kb is NOT using data on a iphone...I regularly see 3-5gigs in one month for iphone usage...

They do have the largest share of smartphone users (yes most likely due to iphones) and with that comes phones that can actually process the information fast enough to BE high speed...ya know like that OLD 486DX4-100mhz running Windows 95....hook it up to Fiber, the internet is still slow..lol

the tethering plans as far as I can see, are the same with any carrier $60 for 5gig..cept a JB'ed iphone..then it is free..lol

Yeah, I have ATT, would NEVER have Verizon (CDMA REALLY!!)...but then most everyone I talk to has ATT cause they are more worried about coverage than 3g data...so it is free m2m...
