Mobile broadband was the only other option besides dial up. anyways-1st month: $0.00. Awesome. First bill: $2500.00. Crap my pants and cry because rent's due. Lady on the phone couldn't believe what she was seeing. said it was by far the highest bill they'd ever had. She refunded it. I cut back on internet almost compeletly-i only use it for work anyways-so that's all i did. 2nd bill: $1100.00 freaking dollars!!!!

The first couple of bills were normal and accurate. Today's bill was $1355.00!!!!! It would have taken me about 93,000 emails to reach that! The plan is under my husband's name, so he called...well, he prayed first, lol, then he called. They said that the computer registers usage and it was accurate, BUT this ONE time they would wave the bill completely as an error on OUR part. Is it possible to have a "secure" wireless connection hacked? A few months ago I got Verizon Wireless internet, the 5 GB plan. The first couple of bills were normal and accurate.
