Answer» As far as I know, most BROADBAND suppliers are still 'UNLIMITED.' You didn't answer the question about where you are located; nonetheless, look for 'dry loop DSL' aka 'naked DSL.' This is DSL broadband across the phone system but you don't need to have telephone service. Typical prices are $30 - $50/month for unlimited usage at speeds of 1.5 - 7.0 Mbps. To put 40 MB into perspective (and bear in mind that you 'ran out' in 4 - 5 days), my XP SP3 down load was ≈65 MB. Admittedly, that's unusual, but it doesn't seem unusual to download 2 - 15 MB/month just from Windows Update - for one computer. Quote from: Mr. Green on July 19, 2008, 09:59:30 PM google "Sprint mobile broadband reviews" what comes up is mostly positive, even for the 40 mb plan. i don't get it. This service is not for use at home, but, rather, for the business traveller who can check email, search Google maps, etc., while on the road several days a month. This is my usage for last few months: Quote from: Broni on July 19, 2008, 09:28:40 PM Are you using Sprint, too? No....I don't believe so.So, Mr. Green, let's assume that Broni is a 'heavy' user and is on the internet 15 hours a day. And, let's assume that you are a 'normal' to 'light' user and average 1 hour/day. If we throw out the unusual 105 GB usage in April, Broni averaged ≈35 GB/month. Assuming that you and he have the same 'surfing pattern,' and your time spent surfing is 1/15 of his - your average would be ≈2.33 GB/month. And Sprint allows you 40 MB... Nice calculation, Mr. drmsucks Quote from: Broni on July 20, 2008, 09:09:26 AM Nice calculation, Mr. drmsucks Thank you But the point is that (IMO) 40MB for 'normal' use hasn't been enough since I was 'surfing' Prodigy at 1200 BPS - or was it 600?!I have no idea what's going on here, since I've never heard about any internet connection with 40MB limit. I think, we won't SOLVE it, until Mr. Green give us a link to his service description.

As far as I know, most BROADBAND suppliers are still 'UNLIMITED.'

You didn't answer the question about where you are located; nonetheless, look for 'dry loop DSL' aka 'naked DSL.' This is DSL broadband across the phone system but you don't need to have telephone service.

Typical prices are $30 - $50/month for unlimited usage at speeds of 1.5 - 7.0 Mbps.

To put 40 MB into perspective (and bear in mind that you 'ran out' in 4 - 5 days), my XP SP3 down load was ≈65 MB. Admittedly, that's unusual, but it doesn't seem unusual to download 2 - 15 MB/month just from Windows Update - for one computer.
