		<description><![CDATA[As a new Burst Hub home Freedompop user, I noticed that their website&#039;s usage logs lags by about at least 2 hrs, sometimes up to 24 hrs. It would be like driving with a speedometer that lags by a few hours. The concept of USAGE based internet is still new, and most people don&#039;t realize how much streaming videos take up. Also downloading games takes up lots of data too. But actual playing of games uses only about 20 MB/hr (I&#039;ve verified this recently).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Hey Jessica. I don&#039;t work for freedompop or anything, but as a programmer and engineer student, you should know that streaming/downloading a movie, songs, torrents, and certain online gaming does actually hog up that much data. Honestly...from what I&#039;m hearing about your bills, freedompop doesn&#039;t sound THAT bad, as the AT&amp;T version would definitely spike you up to $200 or more. This is why I&#039;m personally against online streaming, cloud networks and all (and prefer physical copies of things). I&#039;m a freedompop user myself, and freedompop (as well as other mobile networks) are not capable of such high demands (hence the cost); they are meant for light gaming, checking email, a few rare youtube videos and such. I believe freedompop is building on something designed for home network with cheaper plans. Although I agree that Freedompop has lame policies (and their reps are nice, but can&#039;t help you much), they charge a fair price for what they offer. For the amount of data you use, i honestly would recommend Verizon or a cable internet company with no data limit (make sure to ask for company discounts, student discounts, etc).]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[******ATTENTION****** PLEASE READ. To whomever is considering buying this product, beware! This is a scam!

I am a young single mother living on a budget. In this day in time having internet is a must so I came across Freedom Pop and thought that they might be an affordable alternative to getting internet in my home. I order the Casual 2GB package @ $17.00 a month. Upon arrival I was very excited to use my device, hooked it up, watched a movie the device worked perfect then went to bed. The next day I went onto the website to see how much data I had used and to my surprise I had used the entire data plan! I thought that was a little strange but I went ahead and upgraded to biggest plan they offer 10GB. The next time the device was used my nephew came over and played his playstation online. The next day I started getting email after email &quot;Freedom Pop has added $10 to your account&quot; over and over again. I thought that was strange since I had already upgraded to the biggest package. When I looked at my bank statement Freedom Pop had charged me $131.59 in overage fee&#039;s over a 6 day period, $70 in one day! And continued charging my account until I had insufficient funds. So let me reiterate people... I paid $100 for the actual device, $60 for the biggest plan, and now on top of that $130... FOR USING THE DEVICE 2 TIMES! I called the company and asked what the reasoning was for all these charges. They said that much data had been used because I &quot;had a good connection&quot;. The best they could do was refund me $40. Needless to say I will never recommend this product to anyone. You&#039;ve been warned!]]></description>
