tell me this, all you see on t.v is vz and at&t bashing each other, telling about what the other dosent have, when have you seen ANY company bash or talk about what sprint claims in every commercial? nvr! sprint does what the others wish they could do. vz,at&t, tmoblie, none of them dispute what sprint says. why? because they cant. the sooner you fan boy's figure this out the better. with vz you have alot more towers than anyone (in certain places) but that dosent mean faster 3g speeds. and lets face it, thats what matters now. data and speed. with at&t you have the icrap. big deal you have a phone that now is gonna be obsolete. and t mobile, come on now do we even need to talk about them?
point is the fanboy's are nervous and need some one to listen to their whining. as of friday sprint rises to the top. (always been there imo)

I'd gladly move to a tiered 4G plan on Sprint if the cap was very large. I could see them doing something like 30GB, 50GB and Unlimited usage caps. Would depend on how much I'd use before I decided to go with a cheaper, capped plan.

If Sprint/Clear 4G eventually has caps, it will be more comparable to the cable industry, not 3G. They are positioning WiMAX to compete with low end cable as well.
I think tiered plans are coming, but not all carriers will do it the ay greedy Verizon wants to do it.
By the way, you really believe that the non-unlimited plans will come out to be cheaper than the current unlimited plan? This is not true.
Look at what ATT has just done. They have made data much more expensive for users. They are charging now $25 for 2GB of data and $10 for every GB after that. I use about 6GB per month with Sprint's plan, that would cost me about $65 JUST FOR DATA ON ATT!!! That alone is more than what I pay for the entirety of Sprint's plan!
Verizon is going to do the same exact thing here. They are going to give you, the consumer, less data for less money, but in the end, it comes out to be much more expensive for the high end user like me.
Ultimately, I think Sprint's CEO Dan Hesse is correct: carriers will one day stop charging for minutes overall and just charge for data and possibly texting. I suppose Sprint will have a lot of consumers to gain from this price hike that ATT and Verizon are doing.
Verizon at least has the 3G towers to back their pricing up. ATT? They have a much smaller 3G network than Sprint, yet they charge much more. I don't see the justification there.

I use my phone as much as I need to without a second thought, and I am around 1.5 gigs this month with Verizon. So at that rate it would help me by saving me 4.99/month.
This is about the majority of users, and not the heavy minority. Sorry to say, but Service providers could care less about your data, or mine. They want the family of 4 to have BB's, Droid's, or whatever with everyone thinking why not its only 50 cents per day of use. Heck look at the multimedia phone's that VZW has out now. They get 25mb for 9.99/ month, and they sell a thousand's a week. For just 6 more bucks a month you could get a BB or a droid with Push email, full browser, and most importantly apps!
This thread is full of people that would yell "the sky is falling" at the first sign of change. Get off the phone, find a girl or boy, and start enjoying life.

Where at all do I mention 3G in my post? I'm talking about data over a mobile phone for the most part. Clear and Sprint have separate plans for just straight internet access. I'm just saying I would gladly accept a lower tier of service based on how much data I consume a month over my phone if it means I can spend less, of course.
It depends on where you live and what type of plans you have as far as which carrier is best for you. I live in Chicago and I spend 98% of my time here which means every carrier has me covered and it also means I am covered with 4G. I have 4 phones on a family plan and I have been paying about $285-295 a month from Verizon for 1400 shared minutes, unlimited texting and 3 DATA plans. The same essential plan with Sprint will run me about $100 a month less. Coverage where I am is simply not an issue so why shouldn't I save the $100 a month?
iHave Also Read Up Ln It. It Also Said Sprint Will Eventually Get Ride Of The Nextel Network And Tie Push-To-Talk Into Thier CDMA Ev-Do Rev. Network.
Verizon sucks, it would cost me 50 bucks a month (before taxes) more than I'm paying with fees and taxes included for verizon, you don't get what you pay for, you get less.
I can call any cell phone any time and not pay extra, with verizon you don't get what you pay for and worth sprint you get more than you paid for.
Not saying their service is bad, but I will say I don't see a difference between sprint and verizon when I travel, same calls, same texts, same internet, just faster on sprint and its unlimited.
Swyped from my htc evo 4g!
Since you own a Droid Incredible and have no interest in Sprint...which means you have no interest in the EVO either....why are you in the EVO forum to begin with?

Old thread or not, it's still fun to watch people get in a pissing match because they think they need to validate themselves based on who their phone carrier is.

10 years ago verizon wasn't verizon, or they had just become verizon.
Back then Sprint had great phones, but service in and around NYC sucks for the past 10 years. Heck even voicestream was better. Co-workers had them, I only have had Bell Atlantic, Cingular and Verizon.

Sprint at one point was one of the best. Then the Nextel merger caused them issues and I left them. I had them for 5 years and the last year was when they merged. 4 years of NO issues.
VZW for me has the better service of them all. I went on a road trip with people with Sprint and AT&T and I had service all the time. I was making calls and never had issues. But on the other hand, very little, I might not of had service and AT&T did but it was rare.
