“You can hold the MiFi 2200 in the palm of your hand, slip it in your pocket, even place it on a beach towel if you’re lying under the sun and wirelessly connect your laptop, MP3 player and gaming device to the Internet all at once,” said Steve Elfman, president of network, wholesale and product, Sprint. “Now customers will be able to use one mobile broadband device – the MiFi 2200 – to connect multiple personal devices or multiple users.

Since when does Sprint have a 5Gig cap? I have had a data card from sprint since 2007 and have never had a cap on my bandwidth. My internet card stays on 24hours a day for at least 5 days a week. If I were you I would ask why they are limiting your use.
I was on the line for 1hr with Support this is the 3rd day straight.. Bye Bye Sprint Mifi 2200.. My usage costs has been $300.00 monthly for the past 3 months and there's no way am I consuming over 5Gigs of the monthly allotment.. Support can't troubleshoot the problem and Billing do not know how to investigate counting bytes isn't there thing.. Tsk.. tsk.
I was once a Big fan of the Mifi2200. Now I realize that the 5GiG rationing and the customers inability to dispute whether this rationing is inaccurate or not puts the consumer at a great disadvantage. My suggesstion is that until the cap is raised or all together removed then these cards give the Provider the license to steal. They can charge you without any recourse on your side as to your ability to dispute the usage.
My recommendation look for a free WiFi location you will come out much richer, than opting for the convenience of robbery with a smile.
