I was using that for my tablet when I was traveling, and it was very hard to stay under 3 GB.  That pretty much means no media streaming at all, just web and email.  Consequently, I don't use the JetPack when I'm not traveling.  I just search for wifi locally.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
