Throughput may be limited if use exceeds 5GB per month. Internet browsing does not include: hosted computer applications, continuous web camera or broadcast, automatic data feeds, machine-to-machine connections, peer to peer (P2P) connections or other applications that denigrate network capacity or functionality.

that means your internet access is very limited.

This is very typical for a cellular connection. All the major carriers have the same restrictions with the possible exception of Sprint. I know I don't feel especially limited.

I use at&t cellular for my primary internet access when away from the house - which is usually several weeks at a stretch. I have yet to hit the 5 GB ceiling, although I have come close a couple of times.

Normal web browsing and email downloads - even hours a day should cause no problem. Even file downloads haven't been a problem for me.

OTOH, if you are heavy into Bittorrents, movie and mp3 downloads, you might run into trouble. Doing such things can cause you to reach the 5 GB ceiling in a few days.
