Holy F*** Balls Batman !

Last month I used 40+ GB of 3G/4G data without hot spotting or tethering (unless you count hooking my smartphone up to my tv via HDMI cable for Netflix as tethering )

That would of been $80 for the 5GB plan and over $350 in additional useage plus the customary 12.5% in taxes surcharges and fees that would be over $500 in addition to the rest of my cell bill.

It is a good time to be a Sprint customer 🙂

If you're at home why in the phuck would you want to hook up your tv to a phone for internet? For that you get DSL, Cable of Fios. My friend has a cheapo Verizon DSL connection for $20/mo. Sure the speed is a measly 1mbps down but it's stable and his Netfl...

Hate to break it to you, but the 3G data is also unlimited on the handsets. I've used both Sprint and Verizon 3G and it's been my experience that Sprint very rarely flips from EVDO to 1x while Verizon does it frequently. This was my experience in both the Detroit and South Florida markets. Another frequent contributor has this same complaint about Las Vegas. I hate to make generalizations because wireless still varies by market, but this seems to be a trend.

I'm the one who said that about Las Vegas. Thank you for mentioning it.

Now I am using the Samsung Droid Charge, it holds 4G better than the LG Ally held 3G.

😲 oh my lions and tigers and bears 😲

I'll have to cut back on my network data usage... Oh that's right.

I won't have to because I have Sprint... I'll share my mob 😉 ile hot spot with ant ATT or VZW subscribers who either ran out of data or are being throttled. I'm not a hater ... I was raised to share with those who have less.. Hesse says its okay he's got me covered
