Exactly! He's paying $30/mo for unlimited, UNCAPPED data. If dude wants to use 50gigs.. then so be it.
Quit hatin in here people!

ok if you want to talk about generations, then why does it concern me if we go to ww3 that we might lose since half of the readers here cant seem to read.
i pay for internet, i pay for hotspot. im tired of using unreliable tethering for android and need something now to fix it till i get to main campus. what you want to call a generation ago was 7 years ago called phone-as-modem which was 40 dollars unlimited.
its now evolved into 10 dollar premium data + 30 hotspot. if you want to complain about heavy data users... go to virgin mobile which has the aircard for 40 a month or people who use pdanet, mytether, #777 on thier sanyo 9000 or samsung phone, sprint corporate employees with free aircards and true unlimited internet, and so on. what i dont want to see if people looking for a scapegoat to blame someone when i did fair
i never thought id say this since im not a church person persay... this is like joseph and the dreamcoat. just because i got my coat and earned it, earned me haters nomatter what i say and i already see them trying to sell me to the egyptians even though i was right.

Sprint offers unlimited HotSpot for 30 bucks a month. You seem to think that jonathan should use less than unlimited, yet pay the full 30 bucks.
Please only use the amount of data I find acceptable from your home internet, so that Comcast or whoever your ISP is doesn't pull the plug and hurt us all, but continue to pay them full price.
Also, watch the swearing and insults please
I loves me some lively discussion, but let's keep it within the rules. For the record, my grandkids don't consider me part of the me and now generation.
I tether using the rooted hotspot, but I barely use anymore than I would use normally. Good to use on the go. You have me beat by a mile.

How is that a "give me mine and eff everyone else" attitude?
He PAYS for the unlimited data... not steal it.
LOL, exactly! Stop streaming, torrenting, filesharing.. only go on the internet to look at text-based pages... but go ahead and pay Comcast $60+/mo.

heres a small statement im going to write along with pictures
sprints talking about capping 4g, not 3g. 3g is already capped for mobile broadband at 3g
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse today said that he doesn't anticipate Sprint adopting the tiered pricing models for 4G data services that have been floated by rivals AT&T and Verizon.
Verizon's tiered LTE plans fuel "bill shock" debate
Speaking at the EmTech conference at MIT in Cambridge, Mass., today, Hesse said he felt confident that Sprint and Clearwire had a strong enough spectrum portfolio to handle the expected surge in data traffic from 4G users. He also said that the company could keep its plans unlimited by charging more if it eventually found that customers were consuming more data than the carrier could handle.
"We can offer unlimited service as long as the usage is reasonable," he said. "We know users will use lot more data, so we charge our customers $10 more per month on 4G phone. So it's unlimited but we charge more for that service."

Hesse said there were rare circumstances where service would not be unlimited but that those circumstances were limited to less than 1% of users who consumed unusually large amounts of data on a monthly basis. In those cases, Hesse said the company would work out a deal with those users to pay more per month for 4G service or would tell the user they would be cut off after they consumed a certain amount of data. But overall Hesse expected that the vast majority of users would not come close to approaching this threshold.
"At Sprint we're trying to use our resources as efficiently as possible," he said. "But if you have certain [data] hogs you can ratchet them down as much as possible."
While Hesse would not completely rule out implementing tiered 4G services sometime in the future, he said the company was not looking at it right now and that having a metered service might degrade user experience.
The wireless industry has recently started moving away from all-you-can-eat wireless data plans and toward tiered service plans. AT&T got the ball rolling earlier this year when they announced they were dropping unlimited data plans for the iPhone in favor of plans that offered between 200MB and 2GB of data consumption per month. Verizon shortly followed suit by saying it would implement a similar pricing scheme for its 4G LTE services that are due to launch later this year. Verizon COO Lowell McAdam hinted earlier this year that LTE plans would give users a certain amount of data they could consume every month before they would have to pay overage fees.
Earlier this year Sprint 4G Vice President Todd Rowley explained that Sprint would be reluctant to implement 4G data caps after it experimented with 5GB data caps on its 3G EV-DO Rev. A network. Rowley said that the company found many customers becoming worried about using data after implementing the cap, meaning there was less consumption of data on the network overall.
Sprint and its partners at Clearwire have been launching commercial WiMAX services in major markets in the United States over the past year. By the end of the year they will have built out a WiMAX network that spans all major U.S. markets and that covers 120 million points of presence.
Sprint CEO doesn't see metered 4G service
with that being said... im still not worried as much others are since i dont have 4g(yet) but if you dont want tiered data, then dont tether and pay for it if your planning on using large data like myself
unless you like at&t's offering

I have no problem with someone using a service that they paid for.
The part that I detest, is all the people that make a game out of it. If people just used the service like it was meant to be used, then maybe good plans (unlimited) would stick around or at least stick around longer.
You can tell the OP is all about getting some attention. The subject says it all... DID I BREAK A RECORD? He puts his stats in his signature, he's posted countless times in here about where he's at now with his gig count, he wants his "game results" to get on the front page.. It's all about attention.
He's trying to use as much bandwidth as he can, pure and simple, for no other reason, then to use it. No one with any kind of life, can use a phone that much, unless they are trying to do it on purpose.
I can predict what would happen if there was a unlimted gas plan you could buy. For no other reason then to make a game out of it, the OP would buy a gas hog for a vehicle and then set it up on blocks and run it in place 24 hours a day. Why? For the attention.
I wish every person in this world exercised common sense.... but they do not. So those people do what they do, and I do what I do.... which is try and understand why people act this way. I can't understand it, but hey.... I guess whatever floats their boat, nothing any of us can do about it.
Just my opinion, but then again... I'm still trying to understand why young people (12 - 30) hold their phone in their hand everywhere they go, like it was a pacemaker for their heart, if it left their hand for a minute, they would die. They also look at it every 3 mins or so to see if they have a message.
I predict if one of these people were drowning in the ocean, you would see 1 hand sticking up out of the water, it would be the hand with the phone in it. The rescue helicopter would be throwing down a rope for them to grab onto, but it would require both hands to do so. I believe the helicopter would fly away with no passenger and the ocean would gain a unlimited plan with a smartphone... oh and a body too.

wow i read half of this and it pissed me off.... simply put i have no tv here and dont have money to buy one and pay brighthouse money too. it was efficient and have the programs to do it.
you can see it as bragging but i see it as an oppurtunity to show what power your unlimited is giving. i am happy i dont live in communist att and verizon where my unlimited is freedom. if you simply feel that my use is crazy and dont like unlimited then att and verizon are welcoming you with open arms.
the reason i have stats is to show how much data these android devices can truly do compared to others. when i had the tour is was barely anything but now have a freedom phone from google combined with freedom plan with sprint... and when i saw the amount of data i used with all the slingbox tv, streaming music and everything in between it came to a surprizing result. i simply said a few pages ago that im using the same apps that are given on the android and applying them on the pc with mobile hotspot. remember, im paying for hotspot and paying for 10 dollar premium data. if sprint didnt charge me the 10 dollar mobile data fee then maybe it would be different but its a guarrantee that its unlimited and was happy with the post to show what unlimited can be.
im sick of these fear mongering people that come on here and tell me about how im abusing the system when my plan which will show to a mod when a bill comes on the 30th that has the nearly 300 dollar bill we pay a month with hotspot, 2 premium data fees, and so on. again, I AM PAYING FOR IT. just because i made the announcement that i am secure with unlimited doesnt make me the witch to point at. there are people who tether without mobile hotspot that count as the 1% like the quotes from:

then you still have virgin mobile unlimited for 40 and sprint employees for free, and mobile hotspot for 30+10 premium fee for evo and epic. basically for this thread, its showing the power of mobile hotspot and the amount i did on an android being the most on a phone and did it legally. you want to complain about sprint possibly changing unlimited look at those quotes above and visit it. there are 11 pages of results on sprintusers dating back to 2005ish of free tethering.
am i totally against free tethering? if you stuck with flat tire and in a desert for a few hours for once a month type situation then sure, but not the amount i did and thats why im showing the power of mobile hotspot
i dont think theres anything you can point to me as a bad person since i have been on both sides of the isle for about 7 years and know what im talking about.
i am paying for it and its offered unlimited as mobile hotspot. its not unlimited and let me use 50gb on my lg rumor touch via #777 on my sprint phone because 30 dollar extra is too much then just entering a MSL

You do realize comparing Blackberry data usage to Android usage is not a fair indication considering Blackberry compresses data.
Guys please settle down. If you do not agree with it then please move on. He is not causing anybody trouble. He wants to share with you all his findings
If you think one person using a lot of data is going to cause tiered data plans then you might want to look at the bigger picture. Cell phone companies were probably planning on doing years ago but didn't know how to get it started without people flipping out. If they can charge people more for data then they will. They are a business and businesses want to make more money. They are more concerned with making a bigger profit while maintaining customers rather than trying to make sure their subscribers get a lot of bang for their Buck. It was going to happen eventually whether it be soon or when 4g hits nationwide for the majority of the states.
Please be respectful of others because that's the only way a community as big as ours continues to grow and at the same time continues to succeed and stand out from all of the other android communities.
