If throttled was 512kbs+ with decent latency and reliable DNS, I think I could accept their claim of 'unlimited'.
But I'm kinda worried. If you listen to music and watch a few youtube clips, that 2.5G can get used up faster than you would think.
I'm following you. Have been with Sprint since 1998 i guess that ends this year.June first I will be leaving Boost. I think I am going to straight talk. This gives me a couple months to figure out which phone to buy.
Straight talk follows the same throttling procedures. And yea you can use some sprint/boost phones on straight talk but it is on the sprint network still and your throttled doen after 2.5 gb of data used.
But the you don't get throttled as bad as it is on Boost. I have a friend who uses 4.5gb a month on Straight talk and some months he doesn't get throttled at all and when he does he is still 3 or 4 times faster than my Boost Mobile phone when I am throttled.
Pretty much describes Boost... I did notice that they do not say how much your speed will be reduced after throttling. I guess you could scoot over to Virgin but since they are basically the same ownership as Boost they will likely do the same as boost. I don't eat that much data but the idea that they are pulling this makes me irritated. I saw that ST is owned by Tracfone. Who if i remember correctly was just bought by somebody...... That said if you don't need a ton of data and are ok with no customer support and thry work for a person by all means use what works for you.
