| Slingbox and web browsing three nights/week do it for me I have been a Sprint wireless broadband customer for one year now. Upon reading the rumors of this cap last week I fired up NetLimiter to see what my daily usage is for the three nights/week I am on the road using the Sprint service.
My average daily consumption, thanks to watching a Slingbox for two hours and some typical web browsing, comes in around 500 MB per day. Multiply that by a conservative 12 nights on the road every month and voila... limit exceeded.
Interestingly I chose Sprint due to Verizon's limits.

Riverhead, NY | I agree with you here.
I have a friend who "rents" a cable box/slingbox from me. Hey - he pays his share and for HBO. He does not have a cable modem at home or the tech savvy to hook it up. He also has the same service I have.
Point being - he is a bus driver. It's not odd or infrequent for him to have to drive a group of people somewhere, sit around for 2 - 6 hours, and then have to drive him back. His laptop with sprint wireless card is - as he calls it - his mobile TV.
We had actually chosen sprint over verizon BECAUSE of no caps AND he has a corporate account with sprint/nextel.
Wanna guess what he is going to do the first time they give him a warning? Pull about $500/mo of business from sprint/nextel and find someone else. I've already discussed this with him and he is ready.
You're bleeding subs. You're losing money. Why stick another nail in your coffin? |
