The main reason for these changes is because there are a very few minority (when I saw few I’m talking about 100 people, thats it) That use over 75% of the carriers bandwith because they run companies on a single aircard, no lie. These VERY few individuals are costing the carriers MILLIONS of dollars a month. So inorder to stop these serious loss, they limited their plans down to 5 Gigs a Month to get rid of these individuals.

So try not to blame the Carrier for switching their rate plans to limited becasue chances are, you wont come close to using 5 Gigs by urself in a month. Not unless you are an illegal file sharer, major porn addict, or your social life consists of your ability to be connected to the net 24/7. And if any of those are the case, maybe you should rethink your lives!

I have sprint since 2006, and I have to say that they have the greatest broadband network over the U.S. Puerto Rico, and virgin Islands, and of course when they offer unlimited data plan the really offer unlimited, for example I use every month an a verage of 15 – 20 gygabites of data and i don’t have any problem with it. I highly recomend sprint.

My contract with VZW is expiring in June… I am willing to try Sprint, any advice on this? how is the network regarding quality? data speed? any link you want to share?

Well, they should be sued. And so should all the other tens of operators around the world that use the exact same ‘tactic’. I for one always read the ’small print’ of any offer, but I do feel kinda pityful for those who don’t. I hope operators will eventually wake up, see that it’s 2008, and just make these plans the way they should be: unlimited.

“unlimited” means unlimited…if not, then don’t use the word. looks like Verizon will get sued pretty soon for misleading…

Why hasn’t anyone taken these people to court over this false “unlimited” stuff? How much small print can you really have before something is flat out false?

FREE PORSCHE!
