Re: Dumb...
said by Alpine  :183 megs over GPRS? That's a whole lot of slow-lane downloading! Hehe.. Well... i guess you have to have some sort of fun on the road when you've seen all the scenery already. But the data service was actually quite good. I only had dropped connections in southern Texas in 3 spots along I-10.
said by Alpine :I wonder if any other consequences are forthcoming. Hard caps or something similar? I just bought a Cingular 2125 Smartphone and love it, especially with the $20/month SmartPhone Unlimited data plan. I also have a Smartphone. As for consequences, I really don't care. So they cancel my data plan or my contract, I am up $70 a month LOL.
said by Alpine :I personally don't use it constantly, but that's just 'cuz downloading at under 20k/sec is painful for anything other than normal surfing and email. But I know some people do have apps that are perpetually connected. Hopefully they don't get capped. I seriously doubt that low speed data users will be capped, as in the grand scheme of things, 183MB in a month really isn't that much data anymore. I am sure if you were leeching data using a 3G phone at full blast, they might say something as Verizon does.
said by Alpine :I think it's a little lame to deny "unprofitable" people deals on phone upgrades after contract-expiration, but we're only talking once every one/two years. At least they're letting those people out of their contracts for free. Well fortunately there is still some competition left in this industry. There's now nothing stopping people from simply taking their business elsewhere if they run into said predicament.
