DID I BREAK THE RECORD? mobile data via android handset

[dj2big]

I read an article that Dan from Sprint has stated that Sprint is looking at tiered plans. I think they should just have a 4g 30 gig cap $10 fee and enforce it but charge a premium fee if you go over at like $5 a gig

Here is the article about Sprint possibly doing away with unlimited data.

30GB for $10? Yeah right. It'll be closer to AT&T's 2GB cap.

I went from ave 1gig a month on a blackberry to 8gig a month with the EVO still visiting the same websites but using more bandwidth

You now hold my very unofficial, very nerdy, record for data usage on a mobile device. Congrats, and to hell with the haters

The way I see it Sprint is boning people like me that are not in a 4G coverage area and probably never will be. Yet I pay the extra $10.00 a month for what? They say unlimited data and WE ALL know that is bull. You are not only paying the Xtra ten but you pay for the hotspot when you could root so hats off to ya! I personally will not give them the xtra for the hotspot. And they want to call it unlimited data to justify the ten bucks, well I am putting that to the test myself

i aint mad at you. My question is how was the mobile hotspot feature to your laptop? Was it fast? or dial-up slow??
For the price you pay a month, i would have tried to doubled it.

the truth is, im impressed with hotspot. it has some bugs but i like it and would recommend it then tethering, tethering isnt very reliable or recommended from sprint.

speeds i get and since its in the other room now, where it is at 2 bars.

the hotspot wifi range is not bad for a PDA. this apartment i swear is made of sheet metal or lead or something but when i turn hotspot on i have to move the phone because it goes 1x sometimes in the house. the wifi is perfect signal right now since its in the other room but when i left it in the car outside the house it i get 2 bars wifi. when i do it in the school it reaches both floors and some reason iphone users are always the ones who want to log into the wifi sid name : htc evo 3g/4g

what about workability? it works great but sometimes, and im not sure if its sprint or me, but the icon sometimes gets stuck with the up arrow and disconnects the internet on hotspot where i have to reset the phone like a cable modem, then again i have alot of variables and did 52 gigs

i wanted to try 4g wifi hotspot but since 4g didnt work at the airport, i didnt try it

i like your spirit but thats what is going to kill unlimited, based on business POV... not mine. but i like your spirit. cant tell you what to do but i recommend mobile hotspot

Is it just me, or does using data not seem at all to be that hard? I pay for my services as well, and don't do anything that would be against the ToS.

O_O Guess the record was broken pretty fast lol...

I'm not trying to break any records. Just read the thread, and posted that showing that at least to me it doesn't seem to be that hard to do.

I don't do any P2P (limewire, frostwire, or the such), other than what is required such as when downloading various updates for World of Warcraft and such. I do a LOT of video streaming, so I'm sure that is where a vast majority of my usage comes from.

Ya video streaming will definitely do it. A friend of mine has his a show that's all done online. Shovio.com. He uses his Evo tethered to his laptop to broadcast. He's knocked about 40 gigs last month. Most of that is from the broadcasts. It's an hour long show 5 days a week.

When they give me 4g or reverse the $10.00 charge I will pay for hotspot. Until then they are charging me $10.00 for a service that I cannot use. when Sprint plays fair with me I will play fair with Sprint.

Well since we are paying for the unlimited data then there shouldnt be a problem with us using so much data. Isnt that what the 10 dollars for anyways?? I barely use a gig or data, but if i do, then they could cap everyone, but not us "premium" users.
