I just checked my plan and talked with Verizon.  I then talked with an
independent Verizon reseller who cuts through the crap one sometimes
hears from Verizon reps.

I use a Verizon EVDO connection via a USB720 modem and a Kyocera KR-1
router as my main Internet connection from my home -- which is in a
deep rural area.  I am charged $59.99 a month no matter how much
bandwidth I use.  The only exception is that Verizon says they may cut
off an account that uses over 5GB per month.  The independent reseller
to whom I talked said, well, yes, he is aware of this limit but he
doesn't know anyone who has been cut off.  My last month's usage as
1.1GB -- and that was heavy because of a major edit to one of the four
websites I maintain.

So -- maybe Verizon was forced to eliminate the word "unlimited" but
it seems to me that the $59.99 a month is, essentially, unlimited.

Of course, if you up/download lots of music, video, and the like,
that's another story.
