We have had HomeFusion installed now for not quite 2 full weeks and while the signal and speed are a huge improvement over the Mifi that I was using, the data being falsely logged against my allowance is insane!
In the first 4 days I received the message that 50% of my 10GB was used... previously with a 4510 MiFi I was using approximately 5GB total per month. That was even with keeping the MiFi on continuously. Obviously data on the HomeFusion is counted differently (possibly with a multiplier as high as 3x) as my usage pattern has not changed. The fact is that my data usage should have gone down in the last week since the the home laptop that I use had a HDD failure and has not been operational. I have also started unplugging the HF cantenna so it is not making connection with the tower and only have the HF on for 7 hours in a day. Previosuly the MiFi was never turned off unless it was busy resetting itself or searching for a signal. Since turning off the system for the majority of a day, the data usage seems to have dropped some but I was greeted this morning with a message that 90% of the monthly data allowance has been used. There is no way that I should be anywhere near that...
While the connection and speed is nice, the false data reporting needs to be fixed whether this is a deliberate flaw or an issue with the system Verizon needs to get it together.
