100mb/month LTE? Awesome. Lets see... for a 1TB google drive, that would take......... 873 years to fill up that google drive.

Seriously, what is even the point of that offer? You can eat up 100mb on verizon LTE in less than a minute.

It's probably enough to check your e-mail and calendar all month as long as you don't download/upload attachments.

Or accidentally have any background processes running which happen to use data... I imagine most likely whats going to happen is you'll be on wifi with like 18 tabs open and one of them will have a stupid flash ad and wifi will go down for 5 seconds but in that time the ad will refresh and sync a new video and all your bandwidth will suddenly be gone. :P

If you are almost always on wifi it could be usefull for checking occasional email or checking something in a pitch.

But mostly I guess it's a appetizer.
