| I'm in the wireless business selling Sprint so I called up too to check what was up. Here's what I found:
1) The ATT TOS do, indeed, reference a "DataConnect 5GB Overage Plan" here: »www.wireless.att.com/learn/messa···ices.jsp
2) I received the following email concerning "overage" (over 5GB):
The “Unlimited Data connect plan” is actually a 5gb data connect plan…if a customer goes over their 5 gb’s in a month they will not be charged any overages…they will however be notified of their over use and be asked to curb their usage…if they continue to go over they will contacted and moved into a higher use business data plan…if they’re not downloading tons of movies or songs, or playing online interactive games for 12 hours a day they should have no problem…
Sincerely,

Cell- xxxxxxxxxxx
Incidentally, they do describe this plan initially as $0.00/kb over 5GB (has to do with the fact that their system still "monitors usage" over 5GB), but dig deeper and they'll give you the straight dope.
3) I have not yet been able to find someone who knows the terms and pricing of the "DataConnect 5GB Overage Plan". This is concerning since it is referenced as your high-usage destiny in the contract you sign. Maybe DSLReports has it right, maybe not.
FYI> Sprint's unlimited plan has no caps and from my understanding, the agreements they have in place are the reason for this. It's not that Verizon/ATT don't WANT to offer this, it's that they just don't have capacity. With Sprint, you want online gaming, YouTube, Slingbox, hosting, always-on, P2P? No problem. Fast, too. |
