Why the difference in plans between USB modems/hotspots and tablets?

I have a USB760 3G USB Modem that I want to activate on Friday when I get paid.  I went to the Mobile broadband plans webpage and looked at the pre-paid plans that are available.
However, they price data access differently for USB modems/hotspots than they do tablets. 
For a USB modem, I can get only 1GB for $50.  But with a tablet, I'd get 2GB for $30.
Why the difference?  Can anyone explain this to me?
I would appreciate some info.  I called the phone center, and they were no help and knew nothing.  I thought maybe someone at Verizon would read this and actually be able to give me a sensible explanation of why data plans for a USB modem are so much more than for a tablet...especially when my USB modem is 3G and won't have as much bandwidth impact as a newer model.
Thanks.

Probably because you were reading the information incorrectly.  Per the table below, you get 5GB for $50 for the USB Modem.  You just don't have the option of the 2GB plan with the modem as (and this is my guess) most users use more than 2GB per month with those devices.
Hope this helps.

How much data do you need? That depends on you. The more data you have,
the more you can do like surf, game, and more.

  • What's the differences of optimizer_features_enable between 8.1.7 and 9.2 i

    Everyone , now i may to change the optimizer_features_enable to set is 8.1.7 due to have urgent performance issues after upgrade from 8i to 920 . I know the default value of optimzier_features_enable is 9.2 in 9i and it is a database level parameter. So i want to know all the differences of optimizer_features_enable between 9.2 and 8.1.7 . It will impact the whole system if changed it to 8.1.7 ? Thanks in advance !!

    It will, obviously, affect the entire database. Setting optimizer_features_enable to 8.1.7 basically turns the CBO in your database back to an 8.1.7 CBO. There are a fairly large number of changes between 8.1.7 and 9.2, many in hidden parameters. I don't believe Oracle publishes a list of differences, but there are folks out there that have researched the differences. Wolfgand Breitling has a couple of papers on the subject http://www.centrexcc.com/

  • With All Photographs selected it shows "9568 of 9615 photos".  Why the difference?

    I'm certain that last week these counts tallied (or only one count shown) but now in LR 5.3 Library with All Photographs selected it shows "9568 of 9615 photos".  Why the difference?
    I've checked "Missing Photographs" and there are none, Library filter is None, and Filters Off.  Somehow I'm missing 47 photos.

  • Can anyone tell me the difference in performance between CSS URL switching

    first
    Can anyone tell me the difference in performance between CSS URL switching and F5 Big-IP?
    second
    Can anyone tell me the difference in performance between CSS URL switching and alteon ?
    third what is best overally?
    i think alteon is best
    is that right?
    best regard

    It looks like the primary question here is performance, in which case:Performance is not an issue, so long is it is sufficient. In the case of CSS 11000 and Alteon, performance fall within the same order of magnitude (supporting web sites with several billion hits per day.) F5 does not have sufficient performance, due to platform and OS limitations (I’ve heard as low as 50 connections per second in complex configurations). The Cisco CSM posts up over 10x the performance at 200k flows/second.
    Typically the primary concern is features, then CSS 11000 switches lead with a wide and flexible array of features that are not only helpful to network and web administrators, but well integrated too. CSS 11000 switches offer configuration through CLI, Web GUI, and XML. CSS 11000 collects statistics that can be exported to non-Cisco applications for billing and management.
    The CSS11000 also supports URL load balancing and HTTP header balancing within one content rule, with complex matching. Further, it supports user agent, pragma/no-cache, host field, cookie field, language field, accept, accept charset, accept-encoding, and Connection within the http header field.
    In addition, the CSS11000 matches up to 128 bytes with support of wildcards anywhere within the string.On the other hand, Nortel (Alteon) - HTTP header load balancing is not supported on the same VIP as URL load balancing. Eg. This means that a simulated WAP user cannot be directed to a server while load balancing "normal" browsers to their servers based on URL without using two separate VIPs. Only ONE http header load balance is supported on the entire switch. This limits you to either User Agent (WAP, Netscape, IE, Palm, etc), OR pragma/no cache (do not send the user to cache, allow (the user) to go to the origin), or Host field (allowing you to direct on domain name), or Cookie. Also, Nortel does not support the language field.
    In regards to F5, many of the performance claims are based on HTTP 1.0 requests (most web sites today are not using HTTP 1.0), Many emerging applications rely on HTTP 1.1 rather than HTTP 1.0. Also, the BIG-IP cannot spoof the connection to detect the URL, cannot do NAT on the flow, and cannot maintain states for persistent connections.
    Overall, I think CSS switches are the lowest cost to own, and most effective of all the load balancing platforms on the market.

    Since I joined creative cloud, I have not been able to sync. Why the difference? Worked good during initial trial.
    Also I had installed the Mosaic app for ipad before Lightroom mobile came out and I cannot seem to get rid of it. How can I get mosaic out? I have cancelled, I have deleted, I have looked through the files for visible remnants.

    The sync count is 60 and static. The total number synced so far is 500+. None have been synced from the ipad except for corrections made there on those already synced.
    I have deleted the Mosaic app from all machines and checked the library folder and have contacted the Mosaic tech support and they have discontinued my subscription. I still get mosaic messages on initiating Lightroom and sometimes at closing.
    I have not tried to sync fewer yet, but some catalogs that I have tried are smaller numbers. Initially, it did well on good connections. Nothing works on my home connections over satellite.

    Hi LarryMeikle
    The biggest difference between Photoshop CS6 and Photoshop CC is that Photoshop CC is subscription-based--you have to subscribe to Adobe's Creative Cloud service to use it.  Also, Photoshop CC includes new features that were not in Photoshop CS6.
    Let us know if that helps.
    Thanks!

    Check the Ethernet connection to the AirPort Express. Make sure that the Ethernet connection from the Comcast modem is connected to the WAN port on the back of the AirPort Express. The WAN port is the one with the circle of dots shown over the port.
    It sounds like you are connected to the Ethernet LAN port.

  • Why the iPhone 3G doesn't have voice control and a video recorder?

    Why the "old" iPhone 3G can't support video and voice control?
    Is there a technical explanation?
    Yes, I know that they're functions reserved at the iPhone 3GS
    but why? Both have a microphone and a camera, the only difference that the 3GS has a faster processor.... so, does someone know why there is this difference?
    Thank you very much for yours answers!
    mat

    "If the 3G offered all the same features as the 3GS, then there would be no reason to upgrade."
    'If', maybe, but the fact is that the 3G is not capable ever of offering (due to hardware limitations) the same features as the 3GS, so surely such speculation is pointless and it is only wishful-thinking from those who are either:
    1) not prepared to pay for the hardware that will support the facilities they wish were on their 3G, or
    2) not prepared to wait for their contracts to allow them free phone upgrades to what will then be one generation beyond the 3GS, allowing the 3GS owners to complain about why their 3GS iPhones can't support the facilities of the next generation iPhones?!
    My Mum told me "I 'want' cannot always 'have'....", so if I 'want' then I'll pay and if I can't pay then I'll not moan about not being able to 'have', just work harder or stay quiet until I CAN 'have'.

  • In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each cropin

    In CS6, why the file size remains same after croping? And how do I reduce the size after each croping? Thx

    Select the Crop Tool and check the box [  ] Delete Cropped Pixels and you should see a reduction in file size.  With the box unchecked, the data is still maintained in the document, you just can't see it.

    Apple discontinued iWeb. That's the case for over a year now.
    Topics in this forum will tell you that in order to install iWeb you have to find a copy at eBay, Amazon and similar places.
