Several weeks ago I purchased a T Mobile Rocket 4G USB Laptop Stick to get internet access while visiting my dad who does not have internet access at his house. My Comcast internet/phone/cable here in suburban Chicago has been down since late this morning , so I have been using the T-Mobile laptop stick for the past couple of hours to access the internet. The T-Mobile web site says I currently have used 77 MB out of 3 GB. Can anyone tell me how approximately many hours of web access I have left on this T-Mobile USB laptop stick?

The Comcast tech. won't be at my house until Monday morning. Hope it is an easy fix for the tech.

3Gb = 3000 Mb

If you used 77 Mb in a couple of hours you have 38.9 times that left or about 80 hours of internet use left.

That would seem to make sense -- streaming a video would probably use up more content than reading or writing an e-mail, but at least 80 hours that gives me an idea of how much time I have left on this USB stick. Even 60 hours should get me through to Monday I hope . Hey I was only on hold with Comcast 45 minutes this morning before I got to talk to someone to schedule the service call for Monday People in TV who have issues with Comcast I feel your pain.

I think I can purchase more time -- this is my first time using one of these USB sticks. I didn't think I would need it at home as Comcast internet has been pretty dependable (except for one interruption) over the past 11 years.
