Hey just wondering if sprint throttles at a certain usage amount on 3g. I ask because I'm in Vegas for the next 3 weeks with my family and since I can't gamble yet I'll be chilling in the room for a while on some days tethering to my laptop. And since the 3g where I am staying is roughly .5mbps and there isn't lte yet I'd rather not get screwed into slower speeds. And since roms are 500Mb every time an update comes out and I'm tethering to do other browsing you can see how this will add up over the coarse of the month. So should I be worried or just not worry since I don't plan on streaming 100gb of Netflix like I've seen someone else in a thread do...
P.s. No keyboard warriors start a fight here because every time a data throttle thread starts people get their jimmys rustled and start going into super debate mode. Just looking for straight answers

Supposedly they don't, let me know what you come up with... and I was born and raised in Vegas and I can tell ya you can probably play machines no problem as long as you don't look like a baby and don't act scared... I've been gambling since I was 18

Ive never experienced any throttling and I use a TON of data. I'm always streaming/downloading music and movies and never have any slow down.
It depends. Are you hotspotting illegitimately? As in, do you pay Spring $30 a month to use their hotspot app? If so then you have 5GB I believe.
If you are just tethering over any other app then you do not have a cap or throttle limit. Though I read that if they figure out that you are tethering over a third party app they can do things. Maybe throttle. Maybe charge you the $30 that month. I don't know for certain.

Nah I'm using the wifi tether app. I did this last year with my og evo over 4g with no problem but wasn't sure about 3g if they do charge my for the month then whatever I'll pay, worth it if I go over 10GB haha.

I pull between 1.5 and 3mbps down on 3G here in Atlanta.
I believe the most data usages I have has is 3gb on my phone per one month. I find that I tether a little more.lately since moving to a new place where I won't order internet til September.
I read a post by a guy who used 125gb tethering each month and sprint kicked him off their network.
I think as long as you're not a red flag like that, then you're fine. I hope, anyway, for my sake too!
I just Downloaded a ps3 update today that was probably 300mb? Heh

At 125GB, you were just asking to be kicked. Seriously. There is nothing you could possibly download "on your phone" that is 125GB every month.

lol dont quote me about $$ i have been with sprint for about 12 years my bill was fine but since some of the recent changes my bill jumped about 100$ now for some that's not much but for me that's a major change. + looking back at my the 4 lines data use over the past 12 months .. only 3 months out of 12 have we went over 2 gigs a month for all 4 lines . unlimited data is nice IF i could use it. i use my phone for work i NEED my phone to work when i need it for emails calls etc etc
with sprint and there lack luster data i have just about lost 3 clients .. because i could not or did not get the emails i needed ... today was the last straw .. i have been battling this problem since the evo4g days ... nothing has change and imho nothing will out of 4 towers in my area 2 have been down and the other 2 getting super taxed ... ive talked to the so called techs and ll just want to replace my phone THATS ALL THEY EVER WANT TO DO ... its not phone its the service ..
so yea if i can save 90$ a month on my cell bill and not hit my cap on data im gone .. besided my buddy is a rep at another company that can get my 4 android phones for 97cent a pop ( not cheap phones either ) not dual cores but still good phones .

Here, lemme fix that for you:
thanks that wouldn't take for nothin...
That's it lol? The day I decided to stop forgiving Sprint for 2 years of useless data by switching to Straight Talk AT&T. And this wasn't even the worst speed I've had with them. As someone who used to work for them, I have to say that, at the customer service level, they're better than most companies. They have a nice selection of phones. Hell, even their coverage is pretty damn good. But their data speeds are complete garbage, even before the iPhone came over to their network. Speaking of that, I know they were forced to carry it because Verizon picked it up, but right before the iPhone came out, they doubled the upgrade fee and removed yearly upgrades. Why? Because they spent about $15.5 Billion on iPhone 4's and 4S's and are not going to turn a profit until 2015.

Wow!! I'm on limited now.. 4 gigs a month.. I'm at 2 gigs so far.. I hate it and hate that I had to leave the unlimited.. But my old Razr flip phone was dead and dated..
id be careful going over that mythical 100gb barrier on a regular basis as verizon theoretically can cancel your contract for abuse of network (or something like that)
and you will see the occasional thread for verizon phones from time to time where people post warnings from verizon for it
im sure some would actually *like* getting their contract cancelled so they could jump ship w/ no etf though
And you guys are the reason Verizon got rid of their unlimited plan.

Out of curiosity, what do you do to use so much data? I'm on unlimited as well, but I rarely even break my 2GB mark (I am on wifi at home and at work a lot so I know I'm lower than I would be otherwise). If I weren't on wifi as much as I am I can't imagine I'd ever break 10GB, if even that high.

Home broadband is capped for most of the US, usually at 250 gigs.
And if it's greed, then why am I paying less for data now. If it was greed wouldn't everyone be paying more?

How are you paying less? It was 30 for unlimited now its 30 for 2gb... Cutting unlimited and charging the same for it is greed technically less for more considering the cost per data ratio.

Also.. I don't think most home broadband is capped. I've been with four different service providers and go way over that every month. I think I know of one or two that cap. This is minus colleges of course. It may be area specific though that I don't know.

Exactly. They dropped unlimited when there were very few LTE phones. It was merely a money issue, not a network abuse issue. They knew an influx of users would be coming to Verizon with the launch of the iPhone and it was an easy way to make truckloads of money.

Please explain how you pay less? It was $30 for unlimited. It is now $30 for 2GB. How in any way shape or form is that less money? You are charged the same amount for less data.
You may be paying less for voice and text, but not data.
And I do believe only AT&T and maybe Time Warner cap home usage.

yeah verizon clearly didnt feel the need to be as competitive with incentives to keep customers from leaving once it had its own iphone
i think tiered/family plans were probably going to happen on vzw regardless of the iphone the following things changing would probably not have if they didnt work it out w/ apple
my verizon customers annual upgrades (the loss of this almost made me leave verizon)
regular upgrades now at a full 24 months vs 20
as for broadband caps its provider specific for sure...(ironically) we have verizon fios at home and there are no caps

I think alot of places have a soft 250gb cap. I've heard that Comcast does. Supposedly at that point you are supposed to start seeing slower speeds or something. This is purely based of memory btw.
As for the how is he paying less? I know my family plan went down in price once we went to the family share plan by about 20-30$ a month. So that may be what he is talking about.
You are paying less for voice and text, not data tho. If I jumped on a share plan right now, yea I'd save $20, but I'd also be stuck with 2-4GB a month. If I got the 10GB to share plan, I'd pay more than I do now for 3 lines (2 with unlim data, 1 dumb phone) and that's without overages haha, which I would do by 20+GB a month. When you have kids and you take HD video of them and it uploads to 2 different places and you stream HBO, Netflix, Youtube on 2 phones... lol, I'd burn through 10 in a week.
I typically rock like 10 to 15 gigs a month, and i don't even tether. jeez!

At&t sucks bad bro! They don't even have 4G speeds. Its really 3G+ speeds. False advertisement! Call service is horrible. Stick with Verizon.

Like in one city? Lol. Its all about coverage area and Verizon is hands down the best. Sure if you lived in on if the "30 cities" that have the faster LTE speeds (At&t fact) great. But other than that it's 3G+ speeds.

Theyir coverage is good. Verizon is better. But atat gets phones MONTHS before Verizon and they're not a greedy blood sucking corporation...as much. Verizon has $30 activation fees and you lose your unlimited data if you don't purchase a phone directly from their store.

Art has the same two issues. They also charge an upgrade fee and you lose your unlimited if you renew

Thats why I have 4 lines with Verizon. 2 unlimited data lines and 2 non-smartphone lines that are offset by a year so I can upgrade every year while keeping unlimited.

Well the way it got locked down was a big part of the slower beginning in development, if they lock the max down as bad, its a deal breaker for me, I'll go back to pure open GSM devices.

Well I was lucky, they got my DNA to me before facepalm, so I was rooted and unlocked the whole time and s-off like a day after facepalm was released. I waited a day to see what issues are common before doing it lol. I'd be happy to work with the one max, certainly, but there's no guarantee it'll be unlockable, ever, or s-off, ever, or that I'll get one, ever lol

Same thing the AT&T guy told me. Then did a speed test at 42Mbs down and I did one on Verizon and hit 73Mbs down. Slowest I seen in my area was 38Mbs down. Never seen T mobile, Sprint or AT&T come close here. Only reason I still use them because I tether my computer and love the speed.
Now between the max and g2 I'll rock the g2. The max looks pretty sad. Specs are what I will expect of new phones and the battery for a phone that big is tiny. I mean if Motorola made it they would figure out a way to slap a 4,200mah battery in it and make that phone the same size as the max.
Give me induction charging. No reason every phone should not have this now unless its a iPhone. Iean the maxx looks nice its just not maxx on the battery. Also give us some 1200p now.
Can't wait to see the carbon 6 inch monster Motorola sends out in a response to the maxx and note 3. Come on 4,000mah+ battery.

Or, if like the One, its aluminum, or any aluminum bodied phone, very big reason every phone can't have it now.
And I don't use it anyways, so its just adding weight and thickness for no reason for me.

Lol ment new.
Yeah but if you set it up you can have it on a ALU. Body phone and the recover and coil is pretty much no weight at all. On a verizion phone we can just not let them brand it and save 2oz's in weight from Verizon logos and paint.
Also induction charging may seem meh until your USB port goes out and you have no insurance and your warranty is out lol.

Yeah I figured it was typo, just messing with you.
It doesn't seem meh to me, I just don't have money to buy the stuff for it, so a phone with it doesn't matter to me, I'm more concerned with thickness then wireless charging. I know its like a millimeter lol. And I've never had a charging port break, ever. I'm very careful with my devices, and this goes triple for charging ports for obvious reasons.

This is a thread for people to post when they receive their Note III. I have one Preordered on Verizon but just put this thread here for people to subscribe (did not get mine yet) - when others post when they have gotten their Note III maybe that will help pin down when they start shipping.
I've never preordered, I've always got it release day. Hoping I get it a day or two early. Thought the other thread got a bit off topic and a little harsh.
I played with the AT&T one in store and I hope we get root and can bypass Knox counter.
I really was pleased with what I saw, but I don't know if I can have a phone I can't root or mod... been doing that since the old Windows mobile days, then with android since the HTC incredible, nexus and n2.
Well... here's to waiting, cheers...

I keep getting grief about sticking with Verizon and my Note 3 preorder... I could get it sooner elsewhere... I could get unlimited data elswhere... but I have a sneeky reason for what I do
I live right behind a verizon store... and verizon has a thing about having a solid cell tower for the store... it sells phones
So sitting in my back yard... I have this... all day and all night

Sitting here, tapping my fingers furiously waiting, waiting, waiting. Hoping it does ship early. Thinking of sending my GG watch back when I get my bundle though, but can't wait for the GN3
Just pre-ordered mine through Verizon today. Decided on the black one without the Gear watch. The employee said that they might get them a few days early like they did with the two previous models. I don't know how good his word is, but at least it's something to hope for. When the phone finally drops there's going to be a lot of happy users on these threads.

Your bill cycle ends a few days before your bill is available to view. It should be on your next bill. Check your cycle dates.

Thats impressive ping on that test, you say thats a verizon tower? All the towers in my area the pings are over 100ms, usually between 110-130. Theres a tower in my backyard as well and i get the same speeds but the pings are bad to me. I done a speed test recently on one tower and got 56mbps down and the ping was 116. The at&t network in my area has pings half that of verizon, their network feels faster to me because of that. ( I had to remove the image from the quote, forum rule, I dont have 10 posts yet.)
