But that was because I basically used it tethering for like 2 weeks straight and did heavy usuage all the time. It doesnt seem like Europe has anything close to what I need especially for around the $50 usd a month that I pay now.
You can get that in Europe, but you usually need to sign up for a contract which usually means having an address and a credit record. Can a tourist visiting the US can get your $50 a month plan?

I just checked and Three UK actually has a £37/month plan (so roughly $50 at this time) with unlimited data, calls and texts, which includes data in 71 countries, and you only need to sign up for a 1 month contract. (It's £32 if you have a UK bank account.) I don't know whether a visitor can just walk into a store and sign up for it though.
