Hello to all,

I wanted to know if the 5GB cap is really going to go down on 7/15/08 like I have seen on previous threads. This would put me in a bad place because I use the laptop card as my primary internet connection. If this is a go, are they going to allow for line cancellation due to the fact that this is a change to the terms of service?

Thanks in advance 🙂

They will allow you out of your contract, but if you are using internet at home like a normal person, 5GB is far more than the average person uses. Sprint estimates that less than 1% of customers with Connection Cards will be effected by cap.

Normal usage wouldnt be running companies from your laptop at home, or downloading 1000s of music and videos. its almost impossible to reach the 5 GB by just surfing,

If someone is just surfing they are missing a lot of the internet. I don't buy CDs, I stream/download music (legally). I stream movies from Hulu and elsewhere. Then there's the occasional gaming.

Telling people to just surf is like going back to 1995 and telling people to just send email and check text based bulletin boards. It's the power users that breed innovation that makes it economical for everyone else to do the basic. All of a sudden the ISPs want to try to cap that. What they'll find is that the heavy users will just congregate to the providers that don't.
