Sorry it took so long to respond. Hopefully this break down will help out.
One line still goes on the share everything plan which can hold up to 10 devices(includes basic phones, smart phones, tablets, home phone systems, netbooks/notebooks, and home phone devices)
Here is the break down of the plan:
Devices (cost per device)- Smart Phones = $40
- Basic Phones = $30
- JetPack/Mifi/Notebooks/Netbooks/USB Drives = $20
- Tablets = $10
Share Everything Plans- 300 Mb = $40
- 1 Gb = $50
- 2 Gb = $60
- 4 Gb = $70
- 6 Gb = $80
- 8 Gb = $90
- 10 Gb = $100
- 12 Gb = $120
- 14 Gb = $140
- 16 Gb = $160
- 18 Gb = $180
- 20 Gb = $200
*If only basic phones on the account one must use the 300 Mb ($40) Package.
*All plans have unlimited talk and text.
So to find out the cost of your plan before tax you can just do this:

We have a family plan for our two phones, and unlimited data on my Dinc2.
Up until now, we have not been big users. Neither of us are wild about 4inch screens. They are for the young..
Additionally, We are in a weak G3 area. None of the services have strong data connections around here..
I purchased the wife a Ipad 2, wifi only, and figured to use my Dinc2 as a hot spot for those times when we didn't have access to the kids & friends wifi while traveling.
I also would like to know how to guess what data usage is.

After you find out the amount of data you would like you just do this.
4 gb $70 (just a guess) + 2 smartphones +40 = $150 before tax. Good thing for you is that the hotspot is now free on the new plan, save you $20.

YES,, IF
Verizon, et all, have started to throttle hi-volume data users by cutting their assess speed and/or flat stopping their access..
Immaterial of the new plans,, you need to be careful if you are a heavy user..

Usually to get throttled your using over 30 Gbs a month.
Here is verizon's data caluclator they swear upon

Hand From what I can gather on Verizon's site:
1 - If you are a current 3G subscriber and are grandfathered under the unlimited data plan, you can keep your unlimited data for as long as you maintain your current device/s.
2 - If you want to upgrade your device, you can do so AND maintain your grandfathered unlimited data, but you must pay full retail price for your new device.

You're not required to move to Share Everything but if you do, unlimited data will not be retained on your line. As a Verizon Wireless customer you have choices when you upgrade at discounted pricing. You can choose from a standalone data package starting at $30 for 2GB or a Share Everything Plan. If keeping unlimited is important to you, you can choose to upgrade and pay full retail price for the phone.

Yeah, unless we find a hidden trick somewhere the system will not allow us to keep unlimited data, unless on a device only change.
Sorry for the long post and sorry if I missed anyone.
