so i got a 2g data plan a now i ran over 2g so now my internet slow as hell is there any way that i could make it faster until i pay the bill ?
Use wifi whenever you can. The 2gb cap is bulls#@t. I ran over my first month so started using wifi at my house and work or wherever I could get a signal and have been fine since.

Consider upgrading to their 5 or 10 gig plan... I had been sent a notice that I was approaching my "throttling" point, was on the 5 gig plan, called t-mobile and was told that there was a new rate plan that gave me 10 gigs of data. I did have to extend my contract but that didn't bother me because I only had my plan a couple of months. With the new plan, my wife still has 5 gigs and the total bill only increased ~$5 because the unlimited talk/text/web portion of my plan went down $20.

I'm a have to look into this myself. A 5gig plan would be nice. Thanks.

Thank yall i will upgrade my plan i wish their was a way to make 2g fast since i ran over 2g.
Just wondering if its unlimited or capped at 5gb

Unlimited, the same as every other smartphone on Sprint. The only limit is on data used while roaming.

Yes and no. You have unlimited data yes... but if you pass 5GB of Sprint 4G or in-network 3G for 3 consecutive months, you'll get a call from the compliance department.

So unlimited really isn't unlimited is that what your saying? I just signed up with sprint 2 weeks ago and I am up to 12 gig as of tonight so I guess I should lay low for a bit then. The carriers are making money big time with this bandwidth crap. I use 2 terabite a month on my servers and it cost me 15.00 so I have no idea what all this fuss is about. Thanks for the tip though...

NO you wont. Stop spreading bad information. The only way to get a call or letter from sprint is excessive roaming. Tethering is limited to 5gb. Or torrenting.

Mmhmm
Its unlimited. The only limits are on broadband cards and for the tethering option, IF you pay for that.
I've used no less than 10gb per month since I signed up and there haven't been any calls from anyone.

I'm not spreading bad information. Go to your local (corporate) Sprint store and ask for a hard copy of your contract. It states 5GB on Sprint network, 300MB roaming. The compliance department will only get involved if your line is flagged. Only 2 ways I'm aware of to get flagged, #1 roam excessively (voice, data, or both) for 3 consecutive months, #2 use excessive Sprint bandwidth on a congested tower, or area for 3 consecutive months.
Your bandwidth cap DOES NOT change with the tethering add-on; you are just notified without a hard copy of the existing caps.
It's not Sprint actually supplying DATA services to the towers, but another ISP that sells bandwidth to Sprint. I know that only because I've had to upgrade some hardware at the Notre Dame Campus Sprint antennas, and the internet connection was supplied by Comcast.

The tethering is capped now. This happened like a month ago. Nd again... It's another change that Sprint makes that doesn't protect the customer from being grandfathered in.

Unlimited is still unlimited on all sprint phones. Here is Dan Hesse, Sprint's CEO explaining it for you :

We can thank people like you for us losing the Sprint premier program and someday unlimited data. 32gb of usage is bull****. You are obviously tethering and are not paying for that feature and eventually we will all lose unlimited.

Firstly, its my data to use how I like. Secondly, prove it.
Don't paint me a 'bad guy' cause I'm using the services I'm offered.
It's not people like me that are keeping sprint in the red and thus forcing them to cut services; it's more their poor management. So if you're gonna get at me with nothing more than accusations that I'm 'obviously tethering', you might as well start a thread and call out everyone ...

32GB is a bit excessive, but this Guy may not have a computer/internet at home so he uses his phone. Literally 2GB can be burned in a day easily, just using it moderately. (ie, how Sprint, VZW, AT&T, etc, portray in their ads)

Data has always been capped. Not to a point where they limit/charge, but if you look at the hard copy (full paper printed copy) it says you have 5GB as stated in the acceptable use policy portion of the contract. Look it up at Sprint.com or a Sprint store.

Thanks. Just read it start to finish and there is still no cap.
However, they can terminate service for dozens of ridiculous reasons. One reason is rooting.
New cycle is eleven days away, @30gb atm.

So, I installed a couple of ROMS and suddenly, 4g LTE is only getting a max of 4 mbps when it used to be 25 in the same place. Why is this? BTW I've used around 70% of 2 gb already. Could ATT be switching 4g LTE to 3g after 65%? Or is it a radio issue? I have this issue on stock too.
att is throttling you. Sucks for you.

So I shouldn't worry about this right? They'll reset it when a new month comes?
Add new apn for rite now and you will get hspa+ speed.

If he is on a tiered data plan then it is not throttling. Throttling only applies to unlimited plans.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727
Not to mention throttling slows it down much slower than that.
It sou DS like you may not be connecting to lte at all....what apns. Are listed under mobile networks

Great question. I have a nearly identical plan. I guess a phone call and some hold time are in my future.:fingers-crossed:

Im wondering the same thing. I'm not sure if wed have to renew our contract to get unlimited as with T-Mobile every time you add something or change it it Renews. Hopefully I'm wrong and they just lift the throttling without need to call.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk
I was thinking of switching to Sprint when my contract was up, but now there isn't much of a point. I think I still will to try out the service and see how data speeds compareto T-Mobile in my area.
They give me a deal on 2 GSIII and I add a line. And I will.
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
And I just dropped TMobile for straight talk. Still running on the same network. Maybe they will match data usage policy because straight talk's spring based phones have unlimited data.

I wonder how strict they will be. I'd love to get rid of my Millenicom 3G account, which I use for about 15 - 25GB a month (mostly during night). Wouldn't mind going into a 2-year contract just for that
I know tethering is off-limits in their ToS. I guess I should be asking how safe and undetectable using tethering in cyanogenmod 7/9 is
So I'm getting a Samsung galaxy s 2 skyrocket and I'm gonna get the prepaid 50 dollar a month everything unlimited for it. My question is the data. Will it truly be unlimited data on att's 3g speed with no slowing down after you reach a certain mb? Any more tips anybody would like to share would be appreciated. Thanks.

It'll be unlimited data as long as there's no "problem" with data where you are, but no guarantee that it'll be at any specific speed. No carrier offers any speed guarantee (it's "up to X speed") or 24/7/365 availability (if the tower has a problem, or if they cut you off, you get "the lie of he day").
Ahhhh I see. I'm I'm Atlanta ga, so I'm wondering if there will be any 4g LTE coverage in this area. I should check on there website. Thanks for the info man
