Sprint putting a 5G cap on its "unlimited" plan Oct 2nd
- Urgo 15y agoThis is starting off on just the mobile hotspot plans but is expected to roll over to phone plans soon as well.. probably in anticipation of the iphone coming to sprint... that's my guess at least. Apple has to ruin everything :(
- ScottBurson 15y agoI don't mind this (and I am a Sprint customer) so long as I can easily see where I stand at any moment. An app with a "thermometer" display showing my usage would suffice.
- SwellJoe 15y agoYou can currently get 4G data on the Sprint network, without a contract, with a Clearwire plan. 3G service was recently capped at 5 GB and has high overage charges, but 4G is currently uncapped. Of course, that may change...if it does, I'm screwed. I travel full-time, and Clear is my primary Internet service, and I pretty regularly go over 5 GB. My T-Mobile plan was grandfathered in with actually unlimited bandwidth, and I've made sure to insist that my plan remain unchanged through two phone changes (so I still have a "G1 Data" option, which is $24.95/month, but is actually unlimited and includes 4G data). So, I guess if Clear opts to screw their customers in the same way as Sprint, I'll be down to just T-Mobile. Wonder how long that'll last?
