Question [Q] sprint data question?

ok someone brought this up to me and i have no idea as to if they are right or wrong and sprints customer service didn't really help. so i turned to the great xda community in the hope of finding an answer.

so im going on a road trip relatively soon and someone sayed that if you are using 3g while out of your "home area" if you will. that there is not a data cap for 4g but there is one for 3g even when not roaming. so what i would like to know is if the 3g cap is true or not and if so how big is it "5gb, 2gb, etc." because i plan on tethering my evo to my laptop and since 4g is pretty much nowhere i will probably be using 3g and don't want to have to pay some outrageous "you use the internet to much" charge on my bill.

p.s. i have a 1500 shared unlimited plan

Don't qoute me but I'm pretty sure that if there is a cap (2gb?) Its just a soft cap. IF they believe its being abused, the most they will do is throttle your data speeds. But really they will only notice if you're a long time offender. Even then, I've read many posts on xda from people saying they hit 5gb+ every month with no problem.
