i recently got the same thing at verizon and was told unless i download whole netflix, etc. movies everyday iwould never go over. well let me give you an idea of what bs this was. i watched an hour long bad quality video of a debate on you tube and that alone used nearly a half a gigabite. that would be a half a weeks worth of the limit in one hour. these companies are full of sh** when they tell you its well over what most people would use.

REGARDING THIS STATEMENT IN THE ARTICLE:

“The caps are being applied to new and existing consumer and individual-liable accounts, but not corporate-liable, business contracts, Public Sector or government contracts.

After 1 hour and 30 minutes on the phone with sprint, I’m told, by the business unit:

“Business corporate is not exempt. It [the 5GB limit] applies to everybody across the board.”

I am new to broadband. I just purchased an unlimited plan. Are you stating Sprint will be lowering unlimited plans to 5G if you are an individual?

I need to be informed so I can get out within my 30 days of trail. Help.

Well I guess this means good bye to sprint for me.
I’m paying $59.99 a month to sprint for my internet (which is actually more than faster dsl and cable companies charge) and since it’s my primary internet connection, I regularly hit about 10-15gb a month. (Just watching a few youtube videos a day adds up, let alone streaming movies, playing online games, downloading demos, and so on.)

I’ll start taking a look at Alltel now, since they seem to be the last carrier to mean “Unlimited” when they advertise it as such.

At least we’ll get out of our ETF fee, since Sprint is crippling our data services by imposing such a restriction on what was always advertised as unlimited data.

Shame Sprint, real shame that when you’re losing 1+ million customers each quarter, you are giving even MORE people to leave you.

Peace out Sprint, thanks for pissing off and alienating your last remaining loyal customers. Congrats on digging your hole even deeper, douche bags.

Sprint overcharged my small (US) company for over $50,000.00. We caught them doing it and now they refuse to refund the over-payments. You can read the full story at http://www.sprint-really-sucks.com

I also wrote an open letter to Dan Hesse the Chairman and CEO of Sprint Nextel. It is a good read so please consider reading the letter.

I’ve put up with Sprint for phone and Data services since they offered unlimited data for the cards. What kills me is I just upgraded my data card 45 days ago. I’m going to have to look at AT&T since they offer free WIFI. Way to keep customers that stuck around loyal Sprint, I can’t wait until the company breaths it’s last breath.

Still the idea of the cap is still unsettling. Especially for users who use this as their primary source of data and those who have taken advantage of Sprint’s linksys wi-fi package.

I can understand PAM data getting a 5GB cap but not Mobile Broadband cards.
Big mistake Sprint.

The only good news is that its not too late to fix this.

Here’s an idea:
Why not advertise/gloat that Sprint has truly unlimited/better data & no caps?

I’ve gotten quite a few people onto Sprint from others because of the data advantages they have over anyone else.

The plan is perfect as it is, don’t mess with it. Embrace it.
