Re: New SERO Oct 1st

Yes...but there is no such thing as "unlimited". It's unlimited within reason... You use the data until your carrier gets pissed off at you. I keep trying to say that SERO is an old plan that came out when data intensive phones did not exist. That's also why many carriers are now specifically mentioning data caps, or in the case of AT&T...introducing plans where you pay for a specific amount of data.

Back in the day, they say unlimited because no one really could hit that bandwidth cap unless they were streaming youtube 24/7. Nowadays, even Comcast has a 250gb cap even though broadband internet use in America has been "unlimited" far longer than 3G even existed. Iconic phones, and by proxy their typical phone users...use more data than SERO phones and their typical users. Thus costing Sprint more to maintain.
