MiFi, Internet use and Instant Play at Netflix....

So as you already know, I got the Verizon MiFi to be my primary Internet access at home. I am still waiting on my iTouch to arrive, so I'm not using the Internet all too much. Here is my usage below. I had ordered the 250 MB b/c I am cheap, and wanted to save a few dollars until I got all my Internet necessary toys delivered. 8 days, and a few minutes a night browsing Facebook and I had exceeded my 250 MB limit! Actually, that 131.43 MB use, I was webcam'ing with my brother and adorable niece, so it was completely worth it :)

04/28/2010 7:03 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 10.33 MB
04/28/2010 7:31 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 26.4 MB
04/28/2010 8:35 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 0.06 MB
04/27/2010 6:15 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 27.53 MB
04/26/2010 5:27 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 33.47 MB
04/23/2010 5:45 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 7.13 MB

Once I got the email stating that I had gone over my bandwidth limit, I had to make a decision. Pay the 10¢ for each MB I use between 5/3 to 5/18, stay off the Internet, or upgrade now to the 5G plan for $20 more a month.   I chose to upgrade!
I figured it would be the best time to stream a movie from Netflix to see how much bandwidth that uses up.
Here is my usage last night to figure out how to use Instant Play thru the Wii:
 
05/04/2010 8:23 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 47.74 MB - searching on the computer for a movie i want to watch
05/04/2010 8:43 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 15.22 MB - I'm guessing online thru the Wii 
05/04/2010 8:47 PM MBB 5GB $0.05MB W/CAP 414.88 MB - streaming the 1hr 38min movie


I now know I'm on the right track having the 5G. 

Instant Play thru the Wii worked wonderfully. The pictures was good quality and it was super easy. I'm excited to have movies at my finger tips!
