millenicom dropped unlimited.
Only unlimited now is sprint. Anyone use Sprint? I am thinking of getting a MiFi from them to run my tablets. 100 bucks plus device costs make Verizon 150 a month not counting fees and taxes for 10 gig. ATT only offers 5 gig. I think millenicom is 10 gig 4g and 10 gig 3g , Sprint would appear to any non grandfathered person to be the only viable option. Just wish I had a MiFi on at verizon instead of this phone. Getting a MiFi from sprint and keeping the Verizon phone is still way cheaper than using the bunk share everything hog wash. All I need is some Sprint opinions. -

I'm not sure of the exact details. I've just seen it at Walmart.frago Thanks this. -
Just a little warning with Sprint, their data speeds are soo slow. You will find very few places to stream video. Most of the time I'm in a 3g area, my down is 200kbs+- and up is 1mbs+-. That shows that their towers are over saturated.

I watch a few videos most days and have not hit my 20 gigs yet. The 3G speed seems to be fine so far. Xbox doesn't need the high speed as much as a decent ping and good connection. I've played fine at .6 megs. Now video is a different animal. I am usually fine but sometimes the speed, or lack of, kills me on buffer. But that's why I keep Hulu and Netflix at low res. not a perfect picture but it's watchable. Saves data.

All these were taken back to back. It's 3G speed in south Baltimore. Ping is decent. I'm about to load up Hulu and watch some tv.

We basically have no good options for people just signing up for service. The best networks for us are both capped to 10gb. That might work for most people who go home to their cable/fiber landline internet every night, but it won't even come close to cutting it for us. And I've heard Verizon and AT&T are both going to be killing the grandfathered unlimited plans "very soon."
Hopefully soon they'll realize that they're going to have to offer more than 10gb at a reasonable price point in order to avoid being in "false advertising" territory given the advertised capabilities of today's smartphones and tablets, but I doubt that's going to happen.
