Read it this morning. There's just too much conflict so I'm just gonna sit back and see. Not that it matters anyway, I use around 1.5 gigs a month anyhow.

Ditto.
I was more or less trying to prove a point. Things get hyped up superfast and things get misunderstood very quickly when there are new press releases like today's from Sprint. Seems the sites that report this news get a bit over excited themselves and begin to guestimate, which in time people take as facts and things begin to get all twisted.
In the meantime people should just relax and have fun with the news that Sprint has officially stated from their press release;
HTC EVO V 4G customers will enjoy Virgin Mobile USA Beyond Talk plans starting at just $35 a month for 300 minutes of voice with unlimited messaging and data.4
Further down the page at the bottom clearly references 4

And at their newly uploaded web page here, it says the same thing at the bottom.
Don't get me wrong, I think it will be awesome if they decide to remove the 2.5GB/month throttle on the 4G plans. It will make a whole lot of people extremely happy, and we like happy people.
"Update: We just heard from Sprint that 4G data is truly unlimited and will NOT be throttled — the throttling only applies to the usage of 3G data. This contradicts Virgin Mobile's PR that says the first 2.5GB are "full-speed" without any note mentioning which network you're using. While Virgin Mobile clearly needs to explain this to customers when its 4G products launch at the end of the month, it's good news for those who are well-covered by Sprint's WiMax network."
OH that's awesome.
I just went by this cause she works for Boost/Virgin Mobile. -shrugs-

I don't want to get my head chopped off here... but I do believe that on 4G only there will not be a cap; so it would be Unlimited 4G and 2.5GB 3G@full speed.

The carrier said there will be no throttling or caps on its WiMAX service. However, Virgin will slow users' CDMA data speeds after they consume 2.5 GB of data in a month.
