Prepaid wireless broadband plans can benefit consumers. Instead of committing to around $60 per month for 5GB of data on a two-year contract, customers can use service when they need it, paying only for smaller intervals rather than the month as a whole. The problem, of course, is that absent a contract many carriers aren’t as willing to provide ample amounts of data (and some would say that even the 5GB on contract isn’t ample). Late last week Verizon announced prepaid wireless broadband plans. They come in daily, weekly, and monthly intervals, though the price, and most notably price per usage, is far more than their postpaid mobile broadband plan.

The full month of prepaid broadband will cost just $50, but will provide just one tenth of the postpaid data allotment, 500MB. Verizon will also offer a one week plan, covering 250MB for $30, and a daily plan, covering 75MB for $15. Again, it’s a bit expensive, but for the light user it could prove — maybe not a bargain, but at least a convenience.
