Re: Truth in Advertising said by jojojo :
Gotta wonder why Verizon is so draconian about this while Sprint doesn't have this limit.
Could it be Verizon really does have less capacity than Sprint?
Could it be that Sprint has been losing money on their data service and Verizon doesn't want to follow them down the path to yearly loses?

Sprint now has the industry's highest churn or monthly customer defection rate.
Turnover in the executive offices has also been high. Three key leaders jumped ship last year: onetime chairman and former Nextel chief Tom Donahue, strategy man Tom Kelly and operations head Len Lauer.
Meanwhile, with its eroding customer base, falling long-distance and wholesale prices and weakening business services unit, Sprint managed to turn in four consecutive quarters of disappointing financial results last year. --

False equivalence. Non sequiter. One does not equal the other. |

Sprint clearly leads when it comes to data. It's not really even questionable. They have a larger EVDO network, more RevA, faster on average, roams EVDO on Alltel and no download limits. Customer support is another matter. |

ARPU doesn't take in to account costs. I'd be more interested in seeing their Avg Profit per Unit numbers.

Keep in mind,regarding the turnover, that most of these folks are leaving with a golden parachute after the close of the merger. Remember there are 2 sets of executives representing each side, Nextel and Sprint, and all are not able to retain their positions. Trust me, these folks got paid well when they left. Sprint isn't losing money.  |
