Re: 5 gb Cap

Cricket advertises "unlimited," but if you read it's fine print it says "5GB per month cap." Cricket, afterall, is just running on Sprint's 3G network (and Sprint has a 5GB).

According to the carriers, 5GB is the "magic number" because somewhere north of 95% of their customers use that amount or less of data services per month. So most of their customers are UNaffected by the cap. (obviously, I've got no way of knowing whether that number is true; but it is what they say).

Again, I've been running on "metered internet" for nearly 3 years - first with Hughesnet and now with Sprint mobile broadband.

Never, ever hit the 5GB limit. Of course, I'm not downloading movies from Netflix or gorging on Hulu. But, I can live without those.
