I would have to give up a laptop hard drive. &nbsp;Done. &nbsp;</p> <p>A year ago I probably would have said no thanks, but that was before I got an HD video camera. &nbsp;Uploading big blobs of data is not fun, even at 2meg upload speeds.</p> <p>Hopefully they'll get creative and knock the price of the 30/5 plan down to something in the $60 ballpark. &nbsp;I has a chance to test drive those speeds when I first got the service and it really rocks.</p>
