I disagree. I am already using 7gb halfway through my billing cycle and I'm not even rooted or hotspotting yet

I hope they notify you if you are being throttled

I like the idea of sprint doing this, but hopefully they find a good way to determine who is unfairly using the data. I read people bragging that they root the phone and don't bother paying for internet at home. Is it really fair for someone to use 100GB+ a month because they're too cheap to pay cable bills and make everyone else have slow speeds?

However, it's also not fair to throttle people that just watch a lot of netflix on the phone and run 20-30GB a month since they're not breaking any rules. Especially now that many phones don't come with SD cards and everything is moving to the cloud and streaming.

I would probably leave to a GSM carrier if they throttle at 5 gigs since that is utterly ridiculous since "unlimited" data is the reason I am also still with sprint and haven't signed a 2 year contract since 2006.

I use 15-25 gigs a month. My job allows me to play slacker radio 10 hours a day lol. I do almost all my rom and mod downloads over mobile data. I'm only home two weekends a month so Wi-Fi is scarce unless I'm enjoying Google Wi-Fi at Starbucks.

...And this thread is already going downhill.
Want to bring up a topic and discuss, great. But XDA isn't in the complain-about-your-carrier-and-phone-manufacturer department. That's why each have contact numbers to call them and express your opinion.

    I used 6 gigs the first 5 days of my billing cycle. There is no other reason to be on sprint other than unlimited data.
