 Verizon's way better than Sprint's business plan

Sprint does unlimited internet better than Verizon does, with less restrictions and lower costs. But then again, Sprint is going down the tubes with their business plan and Verizon will make enough money to keep their infrastructure growing to support more users and video.

Sprint is better for the customer (for now), but their system will soon be unable to keep up with the extra load.

Which is better? I say Verizon will be around for a while, while Sprint may not.

There needs to be a half unlimited plans, meaning 5000 minutes is what i believe the actually limit is. Just make 2500 minute plans for normal people for $50. I would rather a limit, and reasonable price, then unlimited, which is really limited. Although i do think SMS should be free with all plans, as it doesn't really affect the network that much.

How much video can you get with 5GB? Are they even able to offer video calls on their mobiles at this time?

As for Sprint, I hope they keep going. They're the only real choice if you want broadband on your laptop.

5GB/mo.? What a JOKE.

Sprint is upgrading infrastructure to support higher demand and faster speeds.
Verizon is much more expensive and their TOS does not reflect their advertising semantics ATM.
Sprints network is truly open while Verizon just gives forked lip service.

With Sprint bleeding customers at record rates, they have more than enough capacity to support more users and video.

But that means less income and higher costs - not exactly a winning formula for a business plan.

Sprint is going down the tubes for different & reasons other than offering unlimited internet. We should keep the issue separate.

I would hope the only people leaving are the ones stupid enough to think they can do better with someone else. Having had to listen to friends who have "switched" thinking they were going to get something better and a couple hundred people (LOL) following them around all day bitch about dropped calls, no service and paying WAY more then what they use to pay. Yep. I'm a Sprint fanboy. Had at least 2 phones for the past 9 years. 1 pay as you go from net10 (for one of my kids) and a T-mobile (work). Work got smart, got all sprint now. Now have 4 sprint phones and have never had a problem that couldn't be fixed with one phone call and a few minutes of my time. I've spent more on the phone with my cable provider for service/billing issues then I have with Sprint.
