Sprint 5GB internet cap

[mizysak44]

Sprint is just following suite of all the other carriers. Everyone has capped data usage. Sprint estimates that it will only affect 5% of the subscribers. Still sucks but yea

well lets say that sprint has about over 50 million subscribers and 5% is lets say about 2 million, and those 2 million decided to find new internet service providers because of this cap or cancel and at 59.99 that comes out to be like million dollars they lose per month, thats $1.7 Billion a year. Not only that they lost about 1.02 million customers the first Q. Not saying those fiqures are what is but im just saying they will lose alot because of this. Maybe more maybe less but even so they will lose alot. Sprint seems to be dwindling down and look at all the other carriars they seem to be doing better then sprint. lol

boy boy boy, i jus cant wait to get started...

ACTUALLY that 5 percent wont go NOWHERE, becuase you seem to have forgot that with sprint you get everything with that 99 dollar plan, with anyone else its not included.. also if you didnt have that plan and simply had internet.. then with sprint its only 15 dollars for unlimited data.. with att its 20 and with verizon its almost a million dollars lol. lets also not forget that sprint happens to have one of the fastest mobile broadband networks, and they also have them sero accounts going for them as well.. im trying to understand why someone would switch from sprint? help me comprehend that one? so they can go to another carrier and have the EXACT same cap but pay more?? not likely buddy. lets look at this logically, because i doubt any customer is wanting to pay MORE for the same or possibly less because last time i checked, no one has confirmed this rumor to be true anyway. yea sprint lost a lot of customers in the last quarter and blah blah blah, but regardless sprint is killing all the other carriers in their plans. and if you REALLY wanted to get your money's worth, you would stick with sprint.. AND they nights an weekends start at 7 lol.. sprint will be fine.. get of their nuts

(im such a jacka$$ lol)

True...but sprint dont got all the kewl phones anywho im just saying what if more to say then anything. I use the broadband card and i barely use my internet on my phone and i have a 6800. But once this goes into effect im finding another carrier not saying it will be threw a cell phone carrier for my internet service. I looked tonight and found one more local i would be saving half of what i am paying right now and get more for my money plus when i go mobile i can just use my phone internet and create a hot spot which i dont do very often but still. I quess in the long run i'll save more money

yes but AT&T also gots the Iphone . Alot of people dont care about the touch. Plus i think that phone is ugly. Plus sprint dont have these phones out yet so lets see how they act out. Sprint does have some good phones coming out this year, but so far how many phones does sprint have that are in the top list of best phones. I have spring, i got my first pocket pc phone the 6800 and not sure if it was worth getting. lacks alot but gives me alot i still im 50/50 on it.

you're not the only one here... and don't mind me going a bit off topic with this one, but the Euro Tilt i have can handle up to 32GB of external storage which is one of the beauties of it, PLUS HSDPA/UMTS, video calls with certain carriers overseas, and please anyone... give me any reason why our dollar is weak. lmao.

and don't forget that early adopters' products are known to be a bit buggy as well.
