Hopefully Clear will force Verizon to keep LTE pricing reasonable

I'm hoping Clear will be a competitive force enough to make Verizon be reasonable with their LTE pricing.
We need the cost per megabit to come down in the U.S.!

I think the work "gouging" would be appropriate to describe that.

I'm the kind of person who is willing to pay for speed. So we'll see who is most agressive Clear or Verizon with speed.

I like to click and actually get a response, and play a video w/o it stopping to buffer!

Keep dreaming. Verizon only cares what AT&T is doing. They don't even consider Sprint a competitor. When the Alltel merger was being ecided by Justice and the FCC Verizon had to remind us not to denegrate Sprint to customers saying we needed to make them appear to be a competitor to clear anti-trust.

Well, when Sprint can generate an actual PROFIT and stop draining customers, they will be worthy of being taken seriously. Until then, they are no more of a threat than US Cellular or Cellular South.

I mean, it's pathetic, Sprint brags, not that they GAINED customers in a particular quarter, but merely that they have slowed down the rate at which they lose customers, as if losing only 200,000 customers rather than 300,000 is supposed to be some kind of accomplishment. It's like the way that the Obama administration likes to brag about a decline in the rate at which jobs are being lost is an economic 'recovery', it's ridiculous spin. It's risible.


And the fact that Sprint has made a profit in God only knows how many years is the fa...

Collections? Who can't afford to pay a Sprint bill? At this point, their prices are so low they are almost literally giving their service away.....

My statement was merely to point out that you sound like a jilted customer, which I don't doubt you are. No one harbors that much hate for a company unless they feel they've been screwed by them at one point.

But.

They're allowing competition in the market. You must the a corporate wet dream, because you seem to be one of the people begging for a monopoly/duopoloy.

I don't use a Mac, or Apple products because I am quite fond of cost efficiency, and being able to do what I want with what I buy without the need of jailbreaking, hackintoshing, etc.

However, they allow for competition in the market. They have made a lot of phone manufacturers rethink their game plan, and many have made enormous amounts of progress, and in my opinion...

It is hardly 'hatred' to point out that a company is in serious financial trouble and has been for literally as long as I can remember...

And I'm not being facetious either, I honestly cannot remember the last time Sprint turned a profit....I'm pretty sure it was some time in the 90's

Forget about challenging Verizon, if Sprint can't turn it around soon they won't even exist in a couple of years.

That ain't 'hate' is just the reality.
