Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

What kind of browsing are you guys doing that you would hit 5gb a month? Unless you tether to your phone every day and use it at work of course...

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

i do that, and still have came nowhere close to 5 gigs

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

not to keep a *dead* thread going, but want to clear up the math.... (not to pick on schettj (went farther than the rest of us...))

Yes, the "units" are in KB's, since that's how they bill ($0.03/KB) (have verified with some previous bills where my vision disapeared)
72,000KB is ~70mb
5gb/30days= ~170mb/day

but like I've been saying, this is just a nasty rumor to get more ppl to drop sprint before they release 4G.

Edit* also if they were that concerned about it, why don't they let you see your data history (graph), the way they do for anytime minutes and bill totals (billing trends).

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

I would imagine this is to get people signed up for a data card plan now that it is so easy to unofficially tether and use your phone as your modem. They want to monetize this. I have been using my phone as my primary modem since I moved a month ago (since I didn't feel like getting comcast--at least not right away.) If you can just download an app like WMWiFi and avoid paying tethering charges then what will stop everyone from doing it? I see what they are doing here and it sucks because the unlimited cheap fast data is their best point. Still, I would conceivably pay a little more for truly unlimited data over legit tether. It will still be cheaper than the $45 I would pay for Comcast.

ouch i'm at 16+ gigs for the month.. this is gonna be an adjustment for your boy!!!

someone PLEASE tell me i'm using the wrong conversion rate (KB)... my current usage page gives this number: 2112842

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

HAHAHAH!!!! SPRINT LOSES ANOTHER MILLION CUSTOMERS!

Honestly though using pocket IE and other data programs on my vz xv6800 I have yet to exceed 200MB

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

i'm around 400,000 and i still got until the 28th, an i just use skyfire and jive talk lol

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

I'm getting you at just over 2 GB with that number... 2112842/1024=2063.32MB
2063.32/1024=2.015GB

Did I do it wrong?

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

That should be less than 400MB. Seems like you've got lots of available data.

Re: Sprint 5GB internet cap
 

lol as slow as PIE is, you won't be able to exceed 5GB within a month unless you are using it all day everyday, now if iPhone's Safari is ever ported over to WM6.1, look out ... :headbang:
