I think you will find that all "unlimited" plans, contrary to the spin and advertisement...top out at about 5GB per MONTH, which really isn't much for us full time travelers...certainly not enough to spool a movie. After that every MB is a separate charge.

When working I had a sprint card that was quite reliable where sprint had coverage, not so much, anywhere else....I never saw the bill,but was told some were well over $400, and that was a corp account with no movies...

The networks will likely suffer this summer when the iPad debuts, as it's data plans are fairly robust, but the networks have not grown so you wil see slowdowns, bad ones I imagine.

If you hug the cost a better option may be a Ubiquity Bullet and hop on free wifi...when you can.

We went to Verizon yesterday, and their "unlimited" plan is NOT...and throttles to slow if overloaded...or you download more than what they think you should...

ALl the best, and do let us know what you decide and how it works. We are in the same boat.
