@rainfreak and especially considering that I can still stream radio,look at Facebook posts and comment without errors. None of that I could do with sprint. But tomorrow I'm back to the speeds in my sig.

I did this math for someone in another forum:

Assuming the average data use is 1GB (which according to some cisco article, it was most recently) and that the top 1% use 24% of all data (same source) we can project that the top 5% of all users use roughly 70-80% of all data. Remove them from the sample size, and the AVERAGE use among the remaining 95% is...

310MB.

So yep, you very quickly enter the top 5%.

I use 310MB a day at least.

he said he was getting 96-324 speeds at throttle

[eric12341]

@Tinkerbell I have the 10GB plan with T-mobile and I get between 96 and have gotten as high as 324. Pretty much all over the 2G realm. AT$T throttles their Um,limited plans alot lower.

Actually they offer 200mb, 2GB, 5GB, and 10GB plans.
The 10gb plan is $105/month total. Throttled to 2g speed after you hit the limit.

It includes hotspot service, yes, but it is a cellphone plan.
He claimed a cheaper plan than Sprint when he was on the $30/month 300 minute prepaid plan, I believe he switched to the plan I mentioned. Hence, I haven't seen him bragging about it being cheaper than Sprint anymore!
