Yep how do these companies promotes shit like watching TV on your phone then put in a 5GB cap. And as long as thier cap is the same as at&t and Verzion no reason to switch or stay with Sprint. At least if their cap was 10 GB it'd still be low but they would have SOME advantage. Stupid Sprint. |

Hingham, MA | I don't know about Sprint TV, but VCast TV runs off of the MediaFLO network owned by Qualcomm, not the EV-DO network- why should it count towards the caps when it's a completely unrelated network? |

The cap doesn't apply to phones. It applies to broadband cards, and phone as modem tethering plans. The new "simply everything" unlimited plan on the phones has no cap. You just can't hook a pc up to it and tether. this new plans lest you use as much data as you want. SprintTV is being rolled out. The new Samsung Insight, which they want to compete with the iphone with is coming out. It will have UNLIMITED data and feature SprintTv. You need to free up some bandwidth to be able to run all these handsets and the data they will be cranking with the new streaming video services, so what's a corporation to do? Take it out on the PC users. Check your history. One month before the iPhone came out, AT&T imposed caps on their broadband cards. I know, I was a customer at the time.
As for these idiots saying Sprint EVDO should be your Secondary internet, I have Roadrunner at home. I'm never there. And why would anyone pay $60 a month if they have access to a $30 roadrunner plan? They wouldn't. I pay 60 a month. That's a LOT of money for an ISP where I come from. I didn't buy the card with UNLIMITED DATA services so I could store it in my laptop bag and use it only during the times I can't find a an open wifi router while driving around with an 8 foot wi-fi antenna on my vehicle. No I pay $60 a month because I wanted to USE it. Sprint sold me a plan with unlimited data. No where in the contract does it say I'm supposed to use every other means available to get an internet connection then only use it as a last resort. That whole line of thinking is absurd. It would be just as absurd as if Roadrunner put a 5 gig cap on data, and since I'm only home one week a month, saying what the hell it doesn't affect me, those roadrunner people should stop being bandwidth pigs, haven't they ever heard of EVDO? |
