said by existenz:No app needs more than a few Mbps. I just want them to keep unlimited and enough capacity to maintain at least a few Mbps. I stick with Sprint for the unlimited, using over 10GB/month.
Would rather have 3-5Mbps unlimited than 1Gbps with a 10GB cap. Am in mostly completed Spark area so often get 20-30 up to 60 but am fine with just a few Mbps. They need to focus on getting Spark on literally every single site, not some sites here and there.
I wouldn't stick with Sprint for unlimited anymore, they are not unlimited.

Sprint Starts Throttling Top 5% of Users in Congested Markets [80] commentsThough that is worded as top heavy users in a congested market only, the actual sprint docs say "currently customers who typically use 5 GB or more in a given month are likely to fall within the top 5% of data users."
I've heard internal rumors also that even if it's not a congested tower you can be throttled if you use too much. This notification was just to try to ease people into it.
It's sad really. T-mobile also offers unlimited on ALL plans, just you go from LTE to UMTS (which still blows Sprint 3G away) if you're not on the LTE unlimited plan.
I wish Sprint would offer similar, cheaper plans without unlimited LTE but that fall back to 3G unlimited (which everyone on Sprint is use too hah) for cheaper prices after you use your bucket.
Instead it's here is lots of speed so you can hit it faster.
