<div>However, if you look at the FAQ in their data usage chart, they have recently rolled out two plans in different markets (Nashville and Phoenix I think). I guess they are figuring which doesn't cause an exodus of users. The Nashville plan looks like its 300G in the base rate, and $10/50G over that. Which I guess is kinda fair. However, if there is not an issue with capacity, I dont want to pay for artificial scarcity.</div>
