It’s a bit better that it used to be:



If you go over the 5GB limit on the bigger plan, you only pay 5 cents/MB, or $50/GB. That’s down from 25 cents, or $250/GB. (The overage fee on the 250 MB plan is now $100/GB.)

Now, many people may argue that’s still a lot of money, and that it still prevents you from using Verizon Wireless as your primary Internet connection. Verizon generally agrees; they see this as a backup connection for when you’re on the road. We’d advise keeping an eye on your data usage if you’re using any wireless broadband product - $50/GB may be a sharp decline from previous rates, but it’s still a harsh surprise when you see it on your bill.



This could change (or has changed) but this could be onerous if not monitored.
