Since that costs $20 a month and it was $30 for a week of the timeshare\u2019s WiFi, I opted for the hotspot. Big mistake.<\/p>\n<p>Verizon Wireless (VW) limits you to a scant two gigabytes a month for the hotspot. It\u2019s grossly inadequate for anyone who needs a reasonable amount of bandwidth for work. VW limitations are punitive and consumer unfriendly. You\u2019re always worried about using too much bandwidth just going too fast on the highway.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it went. I got a text from VW three days into the Florida stay saying I have used \u201cat least half\u201d my meager allowance. So I called VW and asked what happens if I went over the allowance.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/dodgeretort.com\/media\/internet\/verizon-wireless-bandwidth-call-minutes-has-to-be-a-better-way\"
