So anyhow, I signed up about 5 months ago for sprints "unlimited" broadband internet EVDO wireless dealio, $60 a month, etc, etc.. At the time it was in fact unlimited, however on this months bill the fine print says they are changing the service (still called unlimited), but it will now have a 5gb transfer limit per month. Which pisses me off as I would have went with att's service, kept it all on one wireless bill AND used all of their wifi hotspots for free for the same price and a 5gb limit. Pretty much sprint has nothing going for them, no tech support absolute **** customer service.
Anyhow, I dunno what I am going to do, i have 60 days to back out of my 2 year contract and I am pretty tempted to do so just on the principal of the matter.

ATT sucks too. They all suck really, its just a matter of how bad. Sprint/nextel are near the bottom of the pile of suck, but my service has steadily been going downhill since ATT took over cingular.

I got a new 3g phone from att and i have been very happy with it. One thing about att if you bitch they will give you what you want. 2 examples, last year we went to the bahamas came back to an $800 phone bill, turns out it double charged us everytime a call went to voicemail, they cut the bill in half. More recently when i got the new phone, the **********ers charged us a nice little hidden $25 fee per new phone, which was total bullshit as we paid cash for the phones and should have seen nothing on our bill, they took it off, but said they won't next time.
I called sprint when i first got wireless card, after a 23 minute hold they told me they couldn't make changes to my billing, i needed to cancel my service and sign up under the new plan LOL dipshits.
I'm pretty sure i am going to cancel it just on principle. I am a little worried that the new iphone will realy tax att's service, but i'll be within the 30 days when that happens.

**** sprint, i'm outy, just cancelled with the *******, will switch to att next month. at least with them i get free access to their wifi spots also att doesnt charge you if you go over, they just send you a nasty note. I calculated the overages with sprint and it's like 10 grand for another 5gb LOL

i had that same problem, was ready to kick att to the curb, but with these new 3g phones i have awesome service. you gotta get a new sim card and a 3g phone, but it might be worth looking into.
