Verizon MiFi and Netflix for the Wii

Last Monday I received an email from Netflix indicating that my Streaming Disc for the Wii is expected to arrive on Tuesday. This put a huge smile on my face. I have been waiting for this for a few months now. Then I realized, holy crap, I'm in the dark ages right now, I don't even have Internet at home! Can you believe it! I have a 50' Plasma TV, the Wii, PS2, and no Internet. I even work for a company that provides Internet to companies, yikes! So I decided that this is a good time to get some data up in here. I gave Verizon a call and ordered the Verizon MiFi. It arrives today. Now my biggest problem is, I was a cheapo and went with the 250Mb bandwidth instead of the 5G. There was a whopping $20 difference! But will I go over my 250Mb quote and get charged 10¢ for every meg there after for 1 movie?? Does anybody know? I am sure I will eventually upgrade to the 5G but until then, do I chance it and see how much bandwidth it takes? Try it out with just a TV show first? These are the questions I am going over in my head today while I anticipate 4:15 pm when I walk in my apt and find my lil MiFi.
