Re: AT&T broadband now capped at 5 GB with overage charges of 5 cents per MB

 Sprint has their everything data with any mobile and anytime (450 
minutes) plan for 69.99 a month - 2 line family version with 1500 
anytime is 129.99 - lines 3-5 are 19.99.

That's not too bad, not the deal you describe, but seems better than 
anything else out there. Friend just got 2 Verizon lines for her and 
daughter - over 180 a month!!
