The following comments relate to this news article:
article published on 6 January, 2012
Following Sprint CEO Dan Hesse's conference call yesterday in which it was implied that the carrier could throttle heavy unlimited data users, the company has released a new statement on the matter.
In his call, Hesse said (transcript via Verge):
By the way, when we say "unlimited," we have terms and conditions. Just like back in the old AT&T days when we launched Digital One Rate, ... [ read the full article ]

Again, if ANY carrier changes your plan, you have a guaranteed right to drop them like a brick, by federal law + established legal precedent. What, you didn't get the same hardcopy of your contract everyone else gets..? Did you not read your bill?
If they'd pulled the same stunt on me (which they have not, negating your stentorian comments about how they WILL screw anyone over), I would've dropped 'em and simply never paid the bill. It's quite easy to add comments to your credit report explaining the situation, you know. If they DID treat you in such a shoddy manner - and I've never said they didn't - did you just bend over and take it?! Hell, a sufficiently upset phone call, armed with your hardcopy of your contract, would probably have done the job quite handily. Knowing your rights = power. And yes, you damn well BETTER read the fine print. Always.
Furthermore, "Trust me," has ALWAYS meant "F*ck you." It's a hoary old joke for a reason.
And last: At least for me, yes, Sprint's data plan has been unlimited. Your experience does not negate mine in any way, nor does mine negate yours. Deal with it.
Now put that schmeckel back in yer pants.

Actually, I have dropped them, and I am not going to pay the bill. Also, like I am doing here, I am making sure to make a point NOT to recommend Sprint to anyone, and it will remain that way for the foreseeable future.
Beezllepoop, obviously, you have an ego problem, if you think at all I give a s**t what you troll on here. Now go and grow up a bit! Perhaps you could get LordRuss to give you a reach a round or have him pass the lube while you are at it.
Maybe "trust me," is an old joke on the eighth layer of hell where you are from.

Ah, but I never insulted YOU (until now). You, in fact are the overheated troll here, silly. Furthermore, making fun of the name "Bozobub" isn't going to get you very far. Or did you not actually think about why I chose the name..? lol - Sorry, me calling you out - relatively politely, yet - on being an ass, doesn't make ME an ass. Get over yourself.
Again, your experience with Sprint does not negate mine, or anyone else's. And of course, ours don't negate yours. Froth all you like, stomp your feet, whatever, that's not going to change one iota. Don't forget your mum will get pissed if you get too loud! Her basement, her rules, Junior.
It's this simple: You didn't read your contract. You got hosed. End of story. Cue teeny, tiny fiddle serenade; it's a sad, old story, and will continue as long as idiots don't bother to read the legal documents they sign. If you think ANY corporation actually has your best interests at heart, you're quite raving mad!
Your hysterics, ignorance of the historical reference to "trust me" = "f*ck you" (yes, it IS an old, old saying, twit), and failed insults peg you as a rage-addicted 20-something ponce, at the most. And you can take THIS post as intentionally insulting all you like, because it is... Learn2insult, then come back, if you must show your ass to us once more.
Edit --> And that's the 13-1/2th layer of Hell, fool. You know, the Circle of Mimes, Clowns and Other Evil Wearers of Greasepaint. It terrified Dante so much, he refused to write about it...

Wasn't expecting a dissertation in return yet again, ScottBB. As a matter of fact, that tailgate issue is being looked into. And, redundantly, the "F You" euphemism was more of a metaphor, but apparently was lost in translation and seems to be lost in a mix of trolling & whining from someone who typed out something about his involvement with the 802 Airborne & a couple of other folks that took umbridge that don't seem to have anything to do with this.
I was just making a point that you seemed a bit more than snide in your comments with ThePastor & that tenor with everybody's complaints toward Sprint in general was slanted. As ThePastor is a big boy (not to be confused with chevnoir, who may now be a pastor) & doesn't need my help, I made the comment about tethering, which you echoed in your lengthy explanation anyway may have given way to your over paying havoc. I wouldn't have put up with it either.
Thus, kinda making the whole lengthy conversation & brouhaha a much to do about far more than it need to be. But then chevnoir would have something to say about my being elitist again & I'm not in the mood for another pissing contest.

I dont think that sprint throttles at all at least not 4G, but they will boot you, not for using ass-loads of data, but for using torrents or game & server hosting. Bitches. Even Legal Torrents. Bitches. Out-right bitches.
I've been in a pissing contest with Sprint since November 7, 2011 when they cancelled my phone line with no prior warning. At this point I had been with them a month shy of 8 years. I live in an area that has perfect 4g coverage and as such I use my HTC Evo 4G (rooted) as my home internet connection. I almost never use 3G for this unless a problem occurs. I would use torrents, Netflix and everything else. Even playing Xbox LIVE. During my first conversation with the "Excessive Roaming Department" right after they cut my line off, I was told that I used 54 GB of data last month. They said that wasnt the issue though. It was for violating a clause in the user agreement about Game hosting and torrents. They said that I was sent a warning all the way back in June and another in August and September. That never happened. So I had to get my number ported out in order to keep it. That took some fighting too, due to the left hand not knowing what right hand is doing at Sprint. Anyways when its all said and done and the contract on my other phone is up I am done with Sprint. And no that doesnt mean that I am movin on to Verizon or AT&T or T-mobile. I am keeping the NET10 phone that I had my main number ported to cuz after research and number crunching I am better off with that phone company's set bills and getting century-link for home internet.
