I figure most people use like 1 hour of total streaming per day, which would make it 28 days to acheive 5GB.
Better off just connecting to wifi.... shit is available almost everywhere. 3g speeds are too slow to even deal with this much data.

Hmmm usually try to stay out of controversial fray... but you are way off on your numbers! Using field trial or ##debug# I get down to -48 dbm (yes have pics to prove it, lol)
I've got peeks over 3mb/s many times (375KB/s)... can usually avg around 2.5 (often just under 300KB/s) off rush hour... and yes, that's 3G!! (and yes, can back that up also)
*edit*
Sprint to Throttle Data"Sprint on the other hand is not ready to lose any customers after such a decision so instead of canceling the unlimited data plans they’re going to simply throttle it. In other words once you reach a certain traffic limit, which remains unknown for now, you’ll either have to pay for using the same speed when browsing the web on the go or you’ll have to settle for crappy web surfing speeds.
