Virgin Mobile to Start Throttling March 23
VM CUSTOMER SERVICE IS THE WORST!
If you wanted live, competent people to be on the other side of the phone, you'd have to pay at least double what you do now.

What do you expect when your phone bill can be as low as $35/mo for unl text and data?

Oh, they have live people on the other end of the phone--in India. Reading from a script continuously. If I hadn't saved my folks nearly $50 a month by switching to VM...

Not surprised to read this, probably Sprint is pushing them so they can make room for LTE
Their service is the worst I've ever encountered.

Nope, throttling Virgin Mobile subs is in no way related to Sprint deploying LTE, as EV-DO and LTE will operate in separate spectrum. Sprint is not taking away bandwidth from EV-DO to "make room for LTE."
The most likely reason for throttling is that a few subs (3 percent) are using far more than their fair share of data, thereby causing increased network congestion and slower data speeds for other subs.
