Re: Sprint CEO hints unlimited data could end if usage gets crazy

I pay an extra $10 a month as do many of the rest of us to keep unlimited data available, so for them to threaten it is kinda annoying as well. Hopefully, like att, those of us who already have unlimited would be grandfathered in, if this happened.

6 gigs? That's nothing according to this guy.

I am truly shocked by the number. between my computer and iPad, I surf net, check email, etc. for 2-3 hours each day. occasionally watch a few youtube videos (10-30 minutes on average). Never download large movie files etc. the largest file I downloaded for last month was a TP2 rom. How come the number stacks up so fast?

Now I am worried Sprint might argue that I have used too much data, questioning if I am tethering, and send me a large bill.

Am I paranoid? How do I defend my self IF Sprint does something?
Or this guy.

I generally use my tether for just browsing, but as of late been downloading shit like crazy. Including updates for my PC and some PC games as well.

If you want I can get a picture of it, just seems silly to me (as internet usage seems like a really goofy thing to brag about, lol).
Maybe we should just report these two dudes to Dan Hesse's office. I'd figure i'd reduce network-wide usage by at least 15%!
LOL!
