Currently, I’m writing you from a 3G modem that I’m using here in Dublin, Ireland. I’m using a prepaid broadband system here from Three Mobile.

They structure it as follows:

1 Day Access: 500mb transfer – €5
7 Day Access: 2gb transfer – €10
28 Day Access: 10gb transfer – €20

So obviously the best deal is to go with the one month buy. The interesting part to note is that the cap is at 10Gb for the same period that Sprint is putting on the account.

That all said, I would investigate the repercussions of going over. Verizon will just drop your account. Now, unless you’re quadrupaling that limit, my guess is that you’re still worth more than the cost of the traffic. Similarly, I would bet that Sprint would be happier to keep you on the rolls rather than dropping your account.

Best,
James
