Congratulations, you are in an excellent area for both our regular mobile
broadband service as well as our unlimited service.

Millenicom nationwide mobile broadband service* is no contract, tax-free
and we provide the mobile broadband device free of charge**.  The cost is
$59.99/month along with a $49.99 one-time fee and a $15.00 shipping
fee***.

Our unlimited service is the same as our standard service except that
there are no limits on the amount of monthly data transfer****.  The cost
is $69.99/month and requires the purchase of the mobile broadband device
for $99.99 and therefore is not necessary to be returned in order to
close the account.

To sign-up for standard service please select the following link:

To sign-up for unlimited service please click the following link:

* Mobile broadband service has the industry standard monthly 5-gig data
usage cap on our regular accounts.  Exceeding that amount may cause the
upstream carrier to reduce the speed on your account for 30 days and
egregious or repeated violation of the 5-gig data transfer may cause the
account to be closed.  This service plan gives you an option to purchase
the connection device at $99.99.  Selecting the device purchase option
will allow you 10 gigs of monthly data transfer.

** We provide the device free, however it is necessary to return the
device in its original case with the original contents in order to close
the account.  Whichever calendar month you return the device is the last
month you are responsible for the account.  Failure to return the device
or if it becomes damaged requires a $200.00 replacement fee.  We offer the
option to purchase the device at the time of sign-up for $99.99 which
removes the need to return the device in order to close the account and
reduces the cost to re-sign up at a later date.

*** The first month of service is prorated ahead 5 days to compensate for
shipping time although it usually takes only 2 or 3 since we ship it out
Priority US Mail.  You can select Express US Mail shipping on the sign-up
form for an additional $20.00 in which case you should receive it in 1 or
2 days.

**** Please note our unlimited service is not for commercial use such as
setting up a public WiFi, broadcasting the connection to multi-dwelling
units or other extraordinary circumstances.

I would go unlimited of course, as i can chew threw 5 gig in a few days easily.

Just curious if anyone has heard or uses this service? Good bad, don't care, Just want to make an informed choice.
