problems with my data usage
You might want to look into T-Mobile internet. If you're within range of a tower, it's only $50 a month, unlimited - and no equipment extortion rental.
Verizon (different towers) has a similar plan, but it's more expensive ($80, I believe).
I've been very happy with T-Mobile. The speeds are erratic, but for what I do (web browsing, Netflix, etc), it's always enough.
At the moment (just checked), I'm getting 518 downstream. I'm about half a mile away from a tower - line of sight.
Each of these providers will tell you if you qualify based on your address.
