1) that sounds about right for bandwidth on EVDO rev 0
2) I hate that notice... you can disable it by going to start> settings> sounds & notifications> notifications tab> and shut off the "display message on screen" on connection established, i think.
3) do you have an unlimited data plan? if so, you're fine... if not, I'm not sure how to disconnect data only.
