Sprint Reigns In Data Usage
...
because it cost sprint mind blowing amounts of money for data roaming and the sevice usage.
...
Maybe on roam, but not on their own towers. How so? They are easy low maintenance customers. Plug and go.
Friggin moron's, what they don't need now is more people leaving, and in many cases no ETF do to the TOS change.

Yeah... I work for Sprint and know it is a bad idea. But according to sprint they are getting killed in data fees from customers using the card in roaming.

Gee, when Sprint was offering unlimited use, you were saying they were giving away the farm, now that they've put limits on it like everyone else does, it's because they can't afford it anymore. 🙄

No roaming here, they own their towers, how can they be losing on that? Sprint even owns the internet backbone. I just don't understand them?

If it is like the others carriers who have made this same change, it is to protect their networks against heavy volume users of applications such as BitTorrent and other P2P "sharing" networks. That kind of volume can bottleneck even the best wireless networks if used extensively in a single area which, in turn, prevents other users from obtaining a satisfactory level of service that they are also paying for. This paired with the carriers' fear of any legal issues arising from allowing the use of such questionable applications on their network is enough to cause them to make a move like this.

Its a good move, they are definately taking a financial blow and with thier current state mocking what the 2 biggest carriers are doing isnt a bad idea, I think sprint needs to do what it needs to do to stay in the wireless game, im behind them.

That is the first legit answer i have heard. The 5 GB rule affects a very small prcentage of users. But bottlenecking affects all customers. Why would they pay ETF's to transfer to another carrier with not as much coverage (not in all area's i understand) and in most cases slower speeds (again not in all area's) when they will have the exact same limitations?
As for the other worry, would AOL, Qwest, Comcast, ant internet provider, be held legally responsible if there product was used to do illegal things? NO. So that kind of thwarts that possibility

In addition to the 5GB plan, not ALL customers will be put on that plan im SURE, VZW Customer's that are on the "unlimited" BBA plan are grandfathered into it. only new customer's and those that wish to change thier plan *which very few do" are required to go onto the plan with limitations.
...
No, Sprint is so smart that they are sending out flyers to all current customers letting them know about the new limitations 😢

And I will term without ETF because its a TOS change, and for a few bux less (do to corporate discount) I will also get wifi at their locations included in their data plan.
...
Perhaps if they'd stop being so cheap and build some towers they wouldn't have to rely on roaming agreements.
