Alright, big shift in my thinking. I'm now heavily considering getting the unlocked gnex and going with straight talk. They've gotten some bad press with throttling lately but I use wifi 80% of the time.
Here is your chance to get me of of the ledge, lol!
It doesn't matter your percentage, it's how you use the phone.
And it's not just Straight Talks throttling that hurts them, it's the fact that they have no actual definition of what is abusive and a terrible warning system.
The general consensus (
since they won't actually tell you) for SAFE limits is:
100 megs per day
1gig per month
An hour or two of radio streaming per day (MAX!)
3 Youtube Videos per day, as per Straight Talk's customer service (how this is a good limit is stupid since one video can be 500 megs).
Break any of these and you will get a warning. However, by the time you get the warning, you may have already crossed the ban threshold as it can take hours to receive. Continue to go over, regardless if you get the warning or not, and they don't throttle, they don't just turn off your phone,
they cancel your service.
Which means you could lose your number.
My number is worth more than cheaper service.
Yep, and not as risky.
Ask your neighbors if they have T-mobile and how data is in the areas you are most, before switching. T-mobile phone service covers a nearby neighborhood that no other carrier covers, but their data won't penetrate my house or any house in that neighborhood.
On the other hand, I get 500-1500k Sprint data in my house, and I can get almost every 4g system at most of my job locations, including Wimax.
