I like sprints unlimeted data pland
does it really matter if you have unlocked hotspot ?
well then, i guess its a good thing i get it for free
My question is will this also be applied to wifi tethering..not sprints tethering service. We all knew this was coming...when are they going to remove unlimited plans if ever?

I don't think it applies to Wifi Tether and the likes.
The article says that the people who tether "under the radar" are safe from this cap. I can only assume it's people with other tethering options...

The iPhone ? In reality the iphone uses less data then android as of know.android users are the one using more data , I can tell you that for reports that I seen and personal usage I have an iPhone and trust me my android device uses more data almost 2 to 3 times more then iPhone does

Right, it's just it's not so much the because of the "data" that this hell is coming it's also the volume of users, the subsidizing costs etc.

I posted this in a thread but haven't gotten any response:
I was thinking about starting a Groubal petition about AT&T and how they are capping the HUSPA speeds on the Atrix 4g and maybe the Inspire?
Maybe they will pay some kind of attention to the issue ..anyone?
"I am one of many people who got excited about the new Motorola Atrix 4G phone when AT&T advertised that they will be carrying it. The Atrix 4G is a powerful phone and has a lot of great features. Unfortunately, since owning this phone I have been experiencing very slow data speeds and have been losing the Internet connection especially in times when I really needed to find directions or look up information. I have contacted AT&T and was told that everything is fine and that the network in my area is working the way it is supposed to.
This is what I asked AT&T: Why would the Motorola Atrix 4G, advertised as the most powerful phone in the market, register poorer data speeds than other less powerful phones? Why would AT&T advertise as being a 4G phone while it doesn't perform as good as a 3G phone?
I am using Groubal to try to get AT&T and Motorola’s attention about this matter because I couldn't find any other way to do so....There are so many unhappy paying customers out there and we want to be heard and our phones to work."

It would be better to do a full class action law suite against both Moto and ATT on this issue... you would need 10% of the phone owners to actually sign and get involved as far as this.
It would be the only way to truely get either one of their attentions.

300 up ... that's the first issue. The iPhone gets 3000down / 1500up / 130ms ping consistently. My Atrix (two feet away) gets 700down / 300up / 450+ms ping consistently. Every once and a while in it will top 2800down, but upload and ping still suffer.
I will sign and post to help out the Atrix community. I can't complain too much, Work pays for the phone and wanted me to get an iPhone like everyone else (lame).

Quote from the article---> "Will have simultaneous voice and data capabilities; while in 3G/4G or Wi-Fi coverage areas, the EVO 3D will allow web surfing while on the phone"
According to this quote the phone CAN do simultaneous voice and data on 3G. I have a buddy that claims his kyocera echo can do this as well on 3G. I'm hoping it can althought I didnt think it was possible for CDMA to do it on 3G.
The Thunder bolt does 3g/voice at the same time
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
There may be hope for the E3D then
This is one of the reasons I'm excited about this phone. One of the articles I read a month or so ago had technical details on how it worked. It was some extension to CDMA or something along those lines. It's about time!
i wonder why a bigger deal isnt being made of this.

I would absolutely love to hear how many units of the echo have been sold. Especially considering that they wasted money and time having that stupid "Industry First" event with David Blane.
Stunts like that are the reason why my friends think Sprint is crap
I have seen a few posts that Sprint's network is technically capable, like Verizon, of simultaneous voice and data but that Sprint specifically does not (or hasn't yet) enabled this functionality.
That is pretty disappointing. Shame on you Sprint. You would think that every carrier would have the function since AT&T used to brag so heavily about how the iphone could do it. I also read that only maybe half of the new EVOs UI will make use of the 3D effect. We'll know soon enough

Yeah.....my buddy is a true phone addict like I have never seen before. He gets a new phone like once a month!! He has soo many phones on his hip(active phones) it looks like a batman utility belt...lol. And for the first time ever in his life he is sorry about getting a phone.....the kyocera phone. I think it really "hit" him when he saw how much radio shack would give him for it when he trades it in for the evo 3d. The phone is only a couple of months old......paid a couple hundred for it and the trade in value is like 75 bucks or something. A true phone addict....all his money goes to sneakers.....phones.....phone accessories....and food. And occasionally child support....lol.

The probably reprovisioned your account, unthrottling you. With the network vision stuff, we should see drastic improvements in Q1 2012 hopefully.
**** im on sprints ass about getting me my $75 upgrades they owe me.. 3 lines are eligible for the upgrade.. I know that they took it off, and know about the no more 75 upgrade... But its ON CONTRACT that they owe me. They want to walk away from it but i got that upgrade way before they took the 75 off from upgrade, and to this day and time its still on my contract that i signed. They quick giving ppl ETF, but when people like me quick to jumping at something that i earned in time, they dont wanna give me... **** em. Ima win this battle they will be giving me 225 credit for the 3 lines that are indeed by proof on my ACCOUNT that they owe me 75x 3 for upgrades.. Dont let this happen to yall! Fight for your rights! You pay for time u get what u get. Thats why people do what they do w roaming and free tethering cause sprint pulls this ****.. I say to all that do it, go on w ur badselfs. Sprint gets what they get for doing stupid **** like this.
Im clearly in right when it clearly says it in stone that my contract is eligible for the upgrade
Sprint dont play w me! You will lose!!

Like hell they don't. After the Evo 4G came out and they offered their cheap unlimited, they had a huge influx of customers. After that, major network areas had problems with people even able to get data at all. How did they fix it? They let everyone have data, just at a slower speed. How else do you think reprovisioning works? Or deleting the Sprint proxies inside EPST?

Not true. Think of it like the QoS settings on a router. To maintain everybody having network access, they limit the speeds of everybody.

Ugh, are you kidding me? I didn't even know they did this so called reprovisioning. I've complained a lot before about their data, this is kind of the problem. Sprints equipment is way under par, that's why their data sucks. This network vision crap better be a big upgrade to both speed and capacity to their total network, or it won't mean jack in the long run.
I had the 5gb data plan for $50 a month. I just logged into my account and hit change plan because i was thinking about getting more data, and they are offering double data. Now i get 10gb and dont have to pay any extra. Pretty surprised on that one.
Wonder if that works for Hotspots too. Will have to check as I have a 4G Hotspot on a 5GB plan right now that I use for a bunch of non-3G devices.
Updated: Answer is no.
You guys could get unlimited data and unlimited hotspot if you did this.

That's good news, I pulled 5 GB last month basically streaming music in the car and with normal usage and that's with being on wifi all day at work because my building is a signal black hole. I don't know how they expect people not to go over these tiers they have, I can only imagine they are getting a lot of complaints from people going over and getting billed for it.
