In a Hot Spot Panic
I never sign up for 2 year anything, ever, and recently I signed up for the 2 year contract hot spot. I am now concerned that the data usage is going to be accumulationg even if I am not using the computer. I need an answer ASAP because I am waiting to hear back before I activate the hot spot I got in the mail yesterday. I am used to having DSL and was initially told I could no longer have it because of upcoming changing. I need comparable service to DSL with a great price and lots of data usage.

Do you have a smart phone with a data plan? Using a hot spot should be very similar - watching videos and big download will increase your data usage. Turn it off and no data is used.

Mobile hot spots are never cheap, data wise. Even with limited use, a computer can easily run 30-50 GBs of data a month.
You can control how and when by turning it off.
You have 14 days to change your mind and return the hotspot and recind the contract

If you want DSL type service then you dont want a hot spot. On my cable connection at home we use upwards of 650GB a month.
