Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
you guys are incredible lmao! 1st, you wanted proof of the speeds i get. then, those numbers are wrong! if you can get 10 mbps on an epic, please post it...or you're just proving my point that you're paying extra for nothing. that 10 mbps that YOUR hd7 did means they don't charge for faster speeds, just sprints' broke ass !

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
well, you only get those "supposed" speeds up to 5 gigs anyway, after that they throttle you down to 56k, so, enjoy that! btw, i still say its a fluke. why can only the hd7 get this speed? the other tmo 4g phones dont. i tried. and tried and trtied. its some kind of bug in wp7/ p.i.e.

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
i think its a fluke because the other 4g phone 3 feet away from it consistently got 4 times less speed. it is fully and totally a fluke. a false positive if you will. i dont know what else to say. if it can only be replicated on the hd7 and not on the other 4g phones, what does that mean to you?

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
does that tmo earing in your left ear weigh your head down?
its funny that when there is evidence of the fact that those speeds are bunk, you can only go back to "sprint sucks"

T-Mobile has uncapped data. They supposedly reserve the right to slow the speed down on abusers after they hit 5 gigs, but I have not seen any reports of it ever actually happening. Sprint, by the way, also reserves the right to throttle the speed on abusers (with no reports of it actually happening).

Verizon has unlimited data plans listed on their website too. And in fact Verizon was just in the news because they said even iPhone users will get unlimited data. AT&T answered that by saying they will also give unlimited data on a case by case basis.
Unfortunately you haven't done your homework. Read the small print over at Verizon and you are STILL going to pay a lot more for Verizon's so-called unlimited data plans. And until they stand behind their recent claims of unlimited data, its not real yet. Use over 5gb data in billing cycle on Verizon or AT&T and then come post your thoughts. T-Mobile openly throttles after a predetermined amount usage.. might as well call it capped. You won't be watching youtube on those throttled speeds! Yep you amaze me too.

lmao! I gave proof of my speed, then you, yourself, went to tmobile and got better speed, and you STILL cry foul. Then you and the other company guys say "well, we have unlimited data....make your mind up lmao.

Re: Sprint forcing premium data on ALL SMARTPHONES
i cry foul because i also could not get those speeds on any other device in the store. how does that not say "fluke" to you? can you tell me why the hd7 gets those kind of results, but the othe 4g devices on tmobile do not? or are you just going to tell me sprint sucks. im saying those are not the real speedtest results.
to prove it to myself, im going to go about it a diffrent way. im going to try to go to the tmo store and download a file from my dropbx on both phones(the hd7 and the g2) ill let you know when they finnish at close to the same time even though the hd7 supposedly gets 4 times the speed according to the mobile speedtest website.
