Is utilizing the internet through your phone and cable on your laptop legal?

I got prompted the second time I tried it. It's $20 for 2 GB. 2 GB is alot, right? I had a VZW modem when they were new and it was horrible. I can't remember if I was allowed 5 GB or 5 MB though. Which ones sounds familiar regarding those modems? Isn't 2 GB way more than 5 MB? Don't have a chart in front of me...

2 GB for internet on a computer is NOTHING lol. Btw approximately 1 KB x 1000= 1 MB, 1 MB x 1000= 1 GB, 1 GB x 1000= 1 TB (actual values are x 1024 for each one)

2GB is 5,000 MB so yes, way more than 5. But the modems were 5GB, so this is less. No service would offer 5MB per month, a few emails with attachments uses that up.

VZ maintain that 90% (maybe 95) use less than 2GB per month, but it all depends what you do. While tethering, it is easy to use much more (because some things look better on bigger screens, movies for example)

Some cable companies threaten to cut/throttle home internet at 150GB per month, so 2 is really not a lot. It will be fairly slow if you only have a 3g phone. (On the plus side, this makes it harder to use too much!)

1 KB is 1024 B
1 MB is 1024 KB
1 GB is 1024 MB
1 TB is 1024 GB
So thus:
1 MB is 1048576 B

Its all multiples of 8, and they decided to make a tier for each level ~1000 similar to a base 10 number system.

2 GB is 2048 MB


The answer is 42.
Oh, wait, you mean to tell me you need to know the question now?
Well, I can't answer that.
