I agree, .6Mbps is fine for me too.B and C said:My Verizon (VZW) phone is about $80 mo on the Above Unlimited plan and the tethering is 4g for 20 GB before throttling in congested areas. My jetpack is an additional $20 mo and is capped at 600 Kbps (3g) all the time (no throttling or deprioritization).
I found that 3G (600KBPS) is sufficient for DVD quality streaming without buffering from the old $5 a mo for unlimited 3G days. I do not need 4G speeds and really cannot tell much difference in page loads.
What would be the cheapest VZW plan (voice/text only dumb phone maybe?) to get that $20/mo price on the jetpack.
No need for data for the phone nor hotspotting through it.
