Big Deal

This is nothing new, doesnt effect phones, just mobile hotspots, cards, and netbooks. Other carriers have the same deal at 5GB and so on.

The big deal is that Sprint is changing the plan you signed up for. Thus it is a materially adverse change to the contract. They cant uphold the contract if you dont agree to it. Limiting data in a plan you signed up for is a change of the agreement. Sprint will try to claim its not a materially adverse change if you never used more than 3GB, 5GB, or 10GB combined but it doesnt matter, you signed a plan for UNLIMITED 4G, and now you arent able to use it at all.

Call them and tell them its "MATERIALLY ADVERSE CHANGE" since they are offering you LESS data for the same price as before. They might be hard pressed to charge you an ETF if you mention that a small claims court would see it differently than they do.

You should be a lawyer... hahahaha. Do you even have a Sprint? To clarify Sprint sent out notices of the changes several months in advance via Email, Letter, and a notice on your bill. If the customer does not wish to continue with service simply contact customer care directly. See what types of 4G deals you can get, the 4G rates with Sprint are still best compared to Verizons LTE which charges insane amounts for LTE and very limited usage. As for ATT and Tmobile ill check them out when they have a real LTE 4G network.

It is a big deal if a customer is on a plan by contract Sprint needs to honor that if they had such in effect before. I think there should be something in it for the customer if they want to force such a change. Because if the customer bends on the deal we get a penalty so why not give the carrier the same for breaking such contract with us. Even though they have great data rates you have to have 4g to really take advantage of such.

Yeah I get what you mean but Sprint is not going to force you to do something you dont want to do. Cancel if you dont want it. Everything is outlined in your terms and conditions when you signed that 2 year contract. If you dont read them then its definitely your fault. Take it to a lawyer and see what he tells you about this. Not trying to scare anyone just trying to avoid angry mob outcry from people specially people who are not Sprint customers and have absolutely no information on the details.

If you claim sprint's rates are better than those of other carriers, can you post their plans or a linktm their plans? Verizon wireless charges 50 for 5 GB combined 3G/4G, 80 for 10GB combined 3G/4G, with overage of only 10per extra GB. I'm really surprised at sprint's new overage charges. 5 cents per MB is really uncompetitive; it comes out to $50 if you use one extra GB.

"See what types of 4G deals you can get, the 4G rates with Sprint are still best compared to Verizons LTE which charges insane amounts for LTE and very limited usage."

Mind clarifying?

On VZW you get the same amount of usage 5GB or 10GB...

it's faster

the overage rate is far cheaper (on Verizon)

Im not going to bother to check pricing (but I imagine they're within the same ballpark for the same amount of usage)

Where's the deal

Just checked the current deals looks like Verizon changed their mobile broadband plans last time I checked it was pretty ridiculous for the limited amount of usage.

I stand corrected for the time being. 🙂
