Oops, I just checked and my calculations were based on an incorrect read of the current data plans. I saw the $60 for the old data+tethering, instead of $30.

So the numbers aren't as dramatic, ending up with saving of ~$5 per month, and only being able to use a little less than double over average use instead of triple. Still an entirely reasonable deal though.

I hope that works out for you. Personally I plan to keep hold of my all you can eat plan until they pry it out of my cold dead fingers.

My phone is in constant contact with my home servers to sync emails, monitor my webcam, stream music, movies or any TV station I want live. When I'm driving I'm pulling down GPS/MAP data, etc....

Yeah, I'm a data glutton.

This has me wondering exactly what your usage is, and how all of our numbers compare.

Ditto.

With less than a week left on my current billing cycle: 1829.3613k

But it's been a slow month for leisure time...

Ghoulish Delight 06-03-2010 12:13 PM

So assuming a less slow month....maybe 3GB? Looks like it might cost you $5 more per month.

Old Unlimited Plan: $30/Month.
New 2GB Plan: $25/Month + 1.25 cents/mb over the 2gb cap.

Base Price difference: $5.00

$5.00 at 1.25 cents/mb gets you 400MB (400*0.0125 = 5) or 0.4GB

So after 2.4GB/Month you're losing money on the new plan.

3.0GB = $20 + (1000 * 0.0125) = $32.50
4.0GB = $45

My data use over time keeps climbing so I'm sticking with an unlimited plan.

According to the interview Kevy posted, data overage won't be charged per mb, instead you would be charged $10 and be allowed another 1GB before being charged another $10. That's kinda sh*tty.

Only 1.79 megabytes? I would have though a lot more.

Huh

Maybe he's using european notation which substitutes '.' for ','.
