Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap

I'll believe it when I see it for real. I don't use 5 GB's a month now, nor do most people, but it's always better to be unlimited then have a cap. It's the people who are using this as a primary internet connection at home/work (especially those doing it under the radar) that are really hurting the system, expecting to download 30GB/s a month for a $15 plan? I don't think so...

Reguardless, I'm not entirely sure how accurate the information on Sprint's website is. I've recently taken a road trip and tethered my phone to my laptop (under the radar using ICS :P) and on that trip I watched several full episodes of TV shows while in the car. Then a few days ago I downloaded approixmately 50 megs worth of data to my laptop while again tethered to my phone. Now I still use it daily for surfing, push email, occasional YouTube, and yet Sprint only reports my datausage as approximately 50 Megabytes. I know this figure can't possibly be right, I downloaded that much in data alone, forget about the Streaming video I did from Hulu.
