One question tho, will Verizon see a huge spike in usage of my mobile web and decide to charge me extra on my bill......seeing as how I have unlimited usage I don't feel that would be very fair of them to do...but I am getting a service for free that they normally charge for. Anybody have any experience with this?
This has been a hotly debated topic for a while - whether Verizon's "unlimited" data plan is actually unlimited or if it has a 5GB cap. I don't know the answer to this or if it has even been answered somewhere, but your web usage doesn't show up as "mobile web" usage.
If you check your VZW online account, you will see everything you do show up as Domestic Data. Tethering shows up as Domestic Mobile Broadband Connect Data, that is if you're using the VZAccess Manager.
As long as you don't watch YouTube and Hulu all day long and just use it for occasional usage, you will be fine. I would recommend using Adblock and or Flashblock (Firefox addons; you should have Flashblock at the least) to decrease your data usage.
