Sprint unlimited changes.

Sprint to nix 'unlimited' from mobile broadband and hotspot plans in November http://engt.co/pFiUSF

This was talked about months ago Z. People thought it meant cell phones too but it does not.

I heard about it being laptop cards and mobile hotspots, not tablets as well. My Evo view 4g is useless now, wonder if a change like this lets me out of my tablet contract... I have the cheapest tablet data plan but I use a bit of 4g. No torrenting or anything like that but I feel kind of lied to. Stupid iPhone ruining everything for the rest of us.

Ah, you are right. I don't remember Tablets being mentioned. And they were only talking caps before which was already implemented not combining 3G and 4G amounts.
Sorry Z, this is new stuff.

Tis okay. It makes you wonder, are smartphone unlimited data plans next to go? I hope sprint sticks to their marketing campaign. Its the only thing I can brag about to my at&t/Verizon friends.

If they kill unlimited cell data, not really sure where to go next. At&t is evil and doesn't care about it's customers and Verizon is almost as bad. T-Mobile will either flounder or become a fully owned subsidiary of at&t. US phone market really sucks. At&t and Verizon are making more money than ever and put all but the dregs straight into the pocketbooks of their investors.

I say forget this and go boost mobile or either tmobile att but never verizon just ew

Define 'mobile broadband'. Is that like tethering from your phone if you do it officially? I'm under the impression 'hotspot' would be more like if you have one of those wifi cards. Will the actual data through my phone to ONLY my phone still remain unlimited?

If not, Sprint is going to be in a world of hurt. This is the only thing keeping people there right now. Their service is okay, their 3G speed is pathetic. If they implement this before they roll out Network Vision, there is absolutely ZERO reason to stick with them. After Network Vision is a maybe, as then maybe the speeds will be something sort of useful.

If you pay for the Hotspot on your phone it has a 5GB limit and then throttles you down I believe. Mobile Broadband is a card you plug into a laptop to give you internet in any 3G or 4G area.

That's what I figured, thanks. Does the 5GB limit only apply while you're running the Hotspot app I wonder? Or if you have it, do you automatically default to a cap?
