Re: ???
True that every cable/dsl has such ambiguous statements - all of them. The truth is, Sprint really is unlimited. 100%. Sprint doesn't cancel users, reduce performance or have overcharges. You can confirm this with thousands of users over at evdoforums.com.
It is Verizon that has a very specific 5GB/month limit. Verizon has canceled over 13,000 users in the past for going over 5GB/month. Sprint has canceled zero for this reason. Now Verizon reduces performance to 200Kbps if going over 5GB/month to months in a row or 10GB in one month. Starting in March, Verizon will apparently have overcharges of 50 cents/MB over 5GB. If you go to 6GB on Verizon, it's an extra $500 - wow!
Sprint doesn't have limits because they intend to compete with cable/dsl and they have more capacity than Verizon. And yes, Sprint EVDO can replace cable/dsl for casual users. I've replaced my cable modem using EVDO exclusively, and now I often go over 5GB/month with no issues. |
