Question about useage resets...

bew · ‎08-22-2009

I just got my Moble Broadband connection yesterday (The 20th) and when I checked my useage tab it said my useage would reset on the 26th. Does that mean I will get my entire 5gb worth of useage back?

IF the end of your billing cycle is the 26th, that's the reset date. Verizon pro-rates the allotted data usage by the day, so 6 days of billing would be 6/30ths of the 5GB, or 1 GB. Most people are unaware that when you buy equipment "mid cycle" you have to be careful not to exceed the pro-rated amount of usage allowed.

After it resets, you get 5GB per billing cycle.

Called to check, just to be sure... It was actually only 850 MB...

Glad I didn't go nuts before the reset like I thought about doing.
