if sprint caps data to 5gb as rumored...

[lite blue]

If Sprint Caps our data at 5gb in october as i saw rumored on engadget, will that void our two year commitment?

i planned to stick with sprint and even thought of upgrading to a new phone, but if their going to cap data like the competition i may want to jump to another carrier

Not until you sign a new contract.. AKA upgrade phones

it is only for the mobile hotspot. everything else will be the same:Sprint may cap mobile hotspot data on smartphones at 5GB beginning October 2nd

is this enough for a cancellation with no ETF for MAJOR change to a plan? Unlimited for 29.95 fee to 5gb for the same $$$. I think so

It is only for mobile hotspot i know your getting scared because is getting closer and closer for the smartphones....Lets just pray that doesnt happen xD

I could probably get by with a 5gb cap and wouldn't be too upset.. But if they cap at 2gb's like everyone else... That would suck.

And this is why I root.

I always liked how companies charge you the same, but give you less features.

I wouldn't count on root to save you if you start sucking down the bandwidth. Keep it on the down low and you'll probably be fine, but go hog wild and you'll probably find a nastygram in your inbox.

Agreed. If you go over 5 GB they will see it and think you rooted or your willing to pay one hell of a bill that month.

I don't think I can even download 5GB a month via mobile data, a computer is a different story.

I have the mobile hot spot to use my laptop when there is no wi-fi available, don't need it too often but puttin cap on is really sux. I dont enven know if I would ever need 5 gb. but I pay my 29.95 a month to have the ability to use it if I need it.
